Anatomy Class with Dr. Alan Lowinger In the March intensive course in addition to the Asana classes given by Usha, Dr. Alan Lowinger gave us three basic Anatomy classes. There was not a bone in the human skeleton which we did not touch. Now there is no doubt about the location of the patella or scapular. Alan gave us an overview of human physiology, explaining the respiratory and cardio-vascular systems. He demonstrated the mechanical movements of the major muscle groups. Dr. Alan made clear the anatomical terminology and language. By working in groups we were stimulated to think about the muscular movements made while performing asanas. These lessons were of great value to us as yoga practitioners and gave us an improved understanding of the physical body.
