of chakras, to the seed mantras related to each
chakra, to the connection of chakras with
specific organs in our body, but not to
Anatomy. It exists in the curriculum because it
has to be there, but most likely, you won’t get
much out of it.
Indians rely more on their bodily sensations
than on rational explanations. So, if you want
to learn more about Anatomy in your free
time, just read a book. For example, «Yoga
Anatomy» by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy
Matthews. It’s very detailed, and it was
recommended by our teachers as extra
reading on Anatomy.
As I’ve mentioned, the yoga classes are split
between yoga-practicing sessions in the
morning and yoga teaching classes in the
afternoon.
In the morning you just do the warm-up
exercises, do the asanas, pranayamas,
Shavasana. It’s like a regular yoga drop-in
class. What I particularly liked about my school
is that the teacher would include a bit of a talk
in the morning class and introduce us to a
concept we could think over during the day.
