Yoga Workshop
Making Connections 1
The Superficial Back Line
Where intelligent movement meets the science of connection
An advanced yoga anatomy and somatics workshop for teachers and experienced practitioners
.
Unlock the deeper intelligence of your body with the first workshop in the first of the Making Connections series, led by renowned professionals Catherine Annis and Gary Carter.
.
This dynamic session goes far beyond standard yoga practice. Drawing on cutting-edge movement science and embodied anatomy, you’ll explore how mindful, functional movement can build strength, unlock mobility, and cultivate a grounded sense of ease and awareness.
Join this workshop to explore the Superficial Back Line – the fascia network that connects your heels to your head. By learning to sense and activate this powerful pathway, you’ll discover practical ways to refine posture, enhance balance, and support your body more intelligently in every movement you make, on the mat and in everyday life.
Through a rich blend of targeted techniques, grounding sequences, breathwork, and guided imagery, you’ll not only deepen your own embodied understanding but also gain clear, transferable insights to use in your teaching. This session supports you in developing integrated strength, protecting joint health, and guiding others toward nervous-system balance and inner calm. Whether you’re rebuilding after injury, refining your personal practice, or seeking professional tools to elevate your classes, you’ll come away with principles you can apply immediately and teach with confidence.
.
Join a community of fellow dedicated practitioners and teachers as you build a clearer, more resilient foundation for intelligent movement.
