Tom Myers – Science of Stretch: Anatomy Training for Stability and Resilience: In this course, Tom Myers delves into the science behind effective stretching, emphasizing its role in building stability, resilience, and overall body health. Participants will explore the fascial system and how it influences flexibility, movement, and posture. The program offers a blend of anatomy education, practical stretching techniques, and strategies for enhancing mobility while maintaining joint stability. Attendees will learn about the connections between muscles and fascia, and how to stretch in a way that supports long-term structural health and prevents injury. By the end of the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the body’s biomechanics and tools for promoting both flexibility and stability through intelligent, anatomy-based stretching practices.

We all have either experienced injury, instability, or tightness; or we have had students who have come to us for solutions for them. This course will help you understand the basics of stretch—what anatomical systems are in play. But most importantly, body reading and postural clinics within the course will help you start to identify postural patterns in yourself and your students and adjust what you are teaching in ways that will lead to integrated wellness.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The anatomy of stretch

• New science on stretch

• The relationship between fascial systems and stretch

• The relationship between your nervous system and stretch

• How to identify postural patterns

• How to apply these principles to asana

Each week you’ll receive:

• Lectures that help you understand anatomical systems in the context of stretch
• Body reading clinics and asana practices that help embody what you’ve learned

• Homework to prepare you for the next week

Plus…

• A webinar recording in which Tom presents bonus lessons and answers learner questions

• A private Facebook community where you can connect with other course participants and Anatomy Trains instructors
