19. Anatomy Lab: Questions about Alignment

In this episode of Office Hours we discuss:

• Resources for yoga literacy, that go beyond anatomy.
• Twisting and the Sacroiliac Joint: Every pose needs an anchor, but in twisting, it's not the sitting bones, it's the foot and shin of the front leg (Marichyasana 3).
• We don't want to feel twists in our sacroiliac joints because ANY sensation in a joint is not healthy.
• Anatomy of Downward Facing Dog: Why “lift the sit bones” isn’t a helpful cue for everyone.
