Anatomy Awareness in Asana
Of the Hip, Pelvis and Lower Back

Julie Gudmestad, P.T., has been active in Portland, Oregon as a yoga teacher and
licensed physical therapist for over 30 years. She has integrated Western medical
knowledge with yoga training into a unique teaching style, and has taught many
workshops throughout the U.S. and Canada and Europe. She is a certified Iyengar yoga
teacher, a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, and is the former
author of the Yoga Journal column “Anatomy of a Yogi.”

This workshop is designed to acquaint yoga students, teacher-trainees and teachers with
anatomical vocabulary, musculoskeletal structures and movement patterns in relation to
the yoga asanas. Our particular focus for the workshop will be on the hip, pelvis and
lower back. Our time together will involve lecture, demonstration and discussion, as well
as direct work in the asanas. We will:

• Learn to “see” muscles in action, and correctly describe the movement
• Understand how muscles interact to form movement patterns in yoga poses
• See demonstrations of both structure and function
• Participate in asana practice sessions that allow you to feel, in your own body,
the actions of muscles and the dramatic effects of subtle changes in alignment

We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely, During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefited, and a few of the measurable results of relaxation are the reduction of blood pressure and the improvement of immune function, as well as improvement in digestion, fertility elimination, and the reduction of muscle tension and generalized fatigue.

In this 20 hour workshop we will learn the art and skill of teaching Restorative yoga. All aspects of the subject will be covered, including:
The physiology of relaxation.
The physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of Restorative yoga.
Special poses for menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.
How to sequence and teach a class in Restorative yoga.

Yoga with Vickie Aldridge
White Cloud Mountain Inn
September 23 - 26
Relax in this pristine and unbelievably private part of Idaho!


At 6,500 feet, the Inn is nestled at the base of the majestic White Cloud Mountain Range. This private homestead sits in the heart of central Idaho’s “Sawtooth National Recreation Area.” Located 5.5 miles up Slate Creek, off the Salmon “River of No Return,” 25 miles down river from Stanley, and a 3.5 hour drive from Boise. The Inn is a haven of seclusion, truly a sanctuary from the fast paced modern world. Owners of the Inn, Muzzie & JoAnn Braun say to “expect great western hospitality and enjoy home canned foods prepared on a wood burning cook stove.”

Vickie Aldridge is a certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher with over 30 years of experience. As an Idaho native, Vickie is delighted to share the beauty of these mountains with workshop participants. This is an opportunity to get away from the city, gaze at the incredible night sky, and let the White Cloud Mountains touch something deep within each of us. The combination of yoga, good food, and this incredible view of Idaho will be a lasting memory.

All Yoga classes will be held in the Dance Hall at the Inn. Space is limited to 12 students with
priority to those staying at the Inn & participating in all of the yoga classes.
Students should plan to arrive on Thursday evening September 23, if at all possible, to settle in and have time to truly enjoy the surroundings. You will be so glad you did! You could also arrive on Friday if that is what works best with your schedule.
