05. Pelvis: The Center of Movement in Asana

In this episode of Office Hours we discuss:

• Why yoga teachers should have movement literacy, and not just knowledge of anatomy.
• The pelvis is the center of the body: receiving weight from above, and transferring weight below.
• The anatomy of twisting: the relationship of organs to spine, allowing the pelvis to move, and why Judith instructs students to drop the pubic bone in Tadasana.
• Common misconceptions about the position of the pelvis in asana and suggested homework. 

Taught by Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT. Hosted by Lizzie Lasater.
