kinesiology terminology in practice?
We did this by referring to movements with it and demonstrating movements whilst explaining it

Alignment, core strength, spine mobility, range of motion, balance development of muscle, mindfulness, and conscious choices
What is Yoga?
Means union, and originated in north India over 5000 years ago
What are the benefits of yoga?
Structural and functional changes in the brain, imcrease hippocampal volume, decreases amygdala size and stress response, mindfulness, conscious choices
The benefits of yoga are widespread and heterogenous..
This is because everyone is so different
Does a mindful approach increase body sensory awareness? alignment? injury prevention?
Yes
Pilates has an emphasis on?
Contrology, and body concentration and awareness
How did we engage in mindfulness in today’s lab?
We played back and listened as we went through a guided metatation
