Bones

I'll admit I was kinda bummed when I got the anatomy text and it wasn't the cut-and-
paste Bodyworlds looking one. Our anatomy instructor is a totally animated Burner dude, kind of like a walking qi gong installation. His name is Russ Pfeiffer and he's thoroughly entertaining to listen to. The lecture last night at the Teacher Training Institute focused primarily on the skeletal body.

Fortunately, yoga incorporates a variety of disciplines in anatomy including the more mystical "subtle body" (which we will study later). While we reviewed the skeleton in class I kept finding my hand wandering around my limbs and abdomen curiously thinking to myself "Holy crap, that's there?! What is that!" I bet we all feel kid-like curiousity when we prod ourselves to validate what we see in the textbook. I should probably just buy a box of crayons.
