The Anatomy of Movement I

An understanding of anatomy can build a
compassionate and informed relationship with your
own body. This course will provide students with
a detailed knowledge of how the body moves and
functions. The first semester will cover the
lower body and abdomen. Students will become
familiar with anatomical terminology, the
skeletal system, and the function and actions of
the major muscle groups of the body. The class
will take an in-depth approach to understanding
the relationship between muscle groups that
results in physical activity. In the second half
of the semester, students will be asked to apply
their knowledge of anatomy to investigate the
causes for postural imbalances, common injuries,
and more.
