Anatomy Homework for April 11, 2007

Here's a simple assignment to get us warmed up for the Spring Trimester:

Please list three asanas that require the psoas muscle to lengthen, and three postures that require the psoas muscle to contract (you can include movements in your answers).

Then, pick one of each, and say how you would modify it in order to intensify the stretch and contraction. We will have a chance to explore some of these in class next week.

We will also be going much more deeply into the anatomical details of the psoas and the region of the body associated with it. We will have a chance to see some video images of the psoas from Gil Hedley's Integral Anatomy DVD.

Have a great weekend.
