It's so nice to see someone being energetically explain how all these functions work. I'm in my 200 hr YTT and it bores me to death. This way I understand more and I actually enjoy learning. Kudos to you!
Dear teacher thank you so much I am Sreelal from India. The ultimate test of your knowledge is your capacity to convey it to any average person, beautiful, inspirational. Keep up the Spirit…thank you
Thx god i found u. Thx u so much for this free work. I can see u love learning and also want to create a safe place for community who love yoga and healthy praticing. Love it
Ahh thank you for this, I'm happy this is available online as a refresher for yoga anatomy as it's been awhile since my teacher training. I love how comprehensive and extensive this is!
Thanks Rachel for sharing these videos! I have watched the first one and looking forward to watch the others. This is very useful ! Yoga anatomy is not an easy topic but you make it very easy to understand! Merci!!!
Yes Rachel! A few months ago I sent out a little prayer, wishing there was a way I could attend your anatomy teachings (I think I saw a clip of you giving a lecture) and here you are! I actually spotted these modules at DYWM a little while ago and earmarked them for some revision/ new insights. This was fab, I'm not sure I can go over this stuff enough really. I'm looking forward to learning more in the other modules. Ps You: "If we can just nerd out for a little bit..." Me: "Let's go!" 🤓 Thank you xx
Wonderful! Stay tuned Emma, more to come...and the DYWM modules are very good for learning the materials, but these quick hit videos are perfect for a (free) refresh. :) I know what you mean...anatomy is endless!!!!! XO
@@RachelScottYoga Thanks so much Rachel, that's really good to know. If I don't comment specifically (worried I might be coming across as some weird anatomy creep!), please know all your offerings are very gratefully received! xx
Hey! thank you for those great and informative videos! I love them! I'd like to ask you a question and to hear your opinion - if as a yoga teacher you will never use those terms of planes and locators such as anterior and posterior, why do you think the students in the YTT need to learn about it? thank you so much again!
That’s a great question. And I think it’s useful for us for the same reason it’s useful for Physio‘s to know it. It’s so that we can articulate more clearly what we are doing in the human body. And have a common language to discuss and understand anatomy and movement. It’s helpful for understanding sequencing and actions too. I wouldn’t use anatomical language often in class though because it would probably get in the way of the experience.✨
Thank goodness I found your videos. I am in my YTT and the videos are painfull. Just to clarify if I am standing in a t position and I move my arms in front of me that is flexion also?
Hi Amber! I am not a sanskrit scholar, so let that be my caveat. I definitely pronounce things with an American accent. :) I don't have a specific video for that, but you may find some pronunciations through my other videos, like How To Teach Surya Namaskar in An All Levels Class: ua-cam.com/video/86lClJbsmKc/v-deo.html
Good question! I'm sure there must be some out there that do, but usually we caution people not to do it too much (or at least not without explaining it) as most people don't know it ~ they're not as nerdy as we are ;)
@@RachelScottYoga in art we understand that without knowledge of the body we can only copy a reference when drawing something. this kind of seems like the same thing could apply here. we can only copy a teacher in yoga unless they teach us what is really going on, only then do we have real choice to think for ourselves. so it kind of seems unfair to learn all of this then deny the students the depth of knowledge during a class. everyones personality is different and it feels wrong to assume that people don't want different experience and to think people are uninterested. it would feel more meaningful and grounded in reality if anatomical terms were used in a class.
It’s a shame we can’t see the “action” bit of the video when you tell your students what to do, flexion, extension etc as I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right 🙈 otherwise, a great video
LOL That’s true! If you’d like to take the actual course, you can take “language of anatomy” at www.courses.doyogawithme.com and get the full experience 😘
why is rasing your arms above your head a flexion?? not like the elbows where extention is arms straight, and flexion is arms bent, the shoulders are bent both when they're flexed and extended. why?
Thank goodness I found your videos. I am in my YTT and the videos are painfull. Just to clarify if I am standing in a t position and I move my arms in front of me that is flexion also?

I love this teacher, so good :)
So glad Sara!
Really need these quality lessons. As a student, where can I purchase the material - handout and stuff?
Sure, you can buy all lesson plans at www.rachelyoga.com :)
Hey! thank you for those great and informative videos! I love them!

Welcome!
Awesommeeee
Thank goodness I found your videos. I am in my YTT and the videos are painfull. Just to clarify if I am standing in a t position and I move my arms in front of me that is flexion also?
Hi there! Apologies for delay here - that is technically lateral (horizontal) abduction.
im watching this while taking my 200hr and this is so helpful
😂😂
Who else here in 2021 & almost losing it, when she gives the Corona example?? 🤣🤣
😁
Attempting to learn the pronunciation of the 12 steps to the original Suyra Namaskar. Do you have a video of how to pronounce the asanas?🙏🏻
Hi Amber! I am not a sanskrit scholar, so let that be my caveat. I definitely pronounce things with an American accent. :) I don't have a specific video for that, but you may find some pronunciations through my other videos, like How To Teach Surya Namaskar in An All Levels Class: ua-cam.com/video/86lClJbsmKc/v-deo.html
I've heard the coronal plane called the frontal plane, are these just interchangeable terms?
Yes - exactly :)
are there any teachers that use anitomical language during teaching a yoga class? id go to that
Good question! I'm sure there must be some out there that do, but usually we caution people not to do it too much (or at least not without explaining it) as most people don't know it ~ they're not as nerdy as we are ;)

Bahaha I just kicked over my water bottle while moving coronally! I just couldn't not share that.
Ha!!!! When I teach classes I often say the class hasn’t gotten started until a water bottle gets kicked over LOL😂
why is rasing your arms above your head a flexion?? not like the elbows where extention is arms straight, and flexion is arms bent, the shoulders are bent both when they're flexed and extended. why?
Flexion of the shoulder ~ closes the front of the shoulder joint. Just the naming convention.
Hi
Your lecture are really helpful
Please upload face yoga .
Hi Anayah, that's one kind of yoga that I am not familiar with, I'm afraid!
Thank goodness I found your videos. I am in my YTT and the videos are painfull. Just to clarify if I am standing in a t position and I move my arms in front of me that is flexion also?
Yes, correct! If you are standing in anatomical position and reach arms, for that is flexing at the shoulders
