Anatomy in 3D

Introduction to Musculoskeletal Anatomy

Learn or review the basics of musculoskeletal anatomy by building muscles in clay on a specially designed mini skeleton called a Maniken®. (Yes, this is as cool as it sounds!)

In this workshop we review the essentials of musculoskeletal anatomy by building the body layer by layer using the Anatomy Trains as our guide. We will also use self palpation, video from dissection, and movement exercises.

BBU Anatomy is specifically geared toward Pilates and all other movement teachers and includes practical exercises on the functions of the muscles and joints allowing you to embody the information more effectively.
