Most yoga teachers tell me they believe that learning anatomy is hard. What I’ve always known is that when you learn it in a particular way, step by step, with regular testing of what you’ve learned, it’s much easier and you get better results. In this episode, I review the science of learning and how you can apply it to learning anatomy. The content comes from the teachings of Dr. Andrew Huberman, as he covers the science of learning in one of his podcast episodes. For a link to the episode and the studies he cites, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddq8JIMhz7c
