Course Description

The full program “Anatomy from A to Z” is an in-depth exploration with Gil Hedley of two donor forms, Anna and Z over the course of 17 months, captured in 4K. This remarkable, in-depth anatomical project explores the wondrous details, textural layers, continuities, and connections of these two forms, illuminating the body from an integral anatomy perspective.

The intention of this program is to act as a resource for bodyworkers, massage therapists, personal trainers, yogis, Pilates teachers, students and practitioners of medicine, osteopathy, naturopathy and chiropractic,  - and anyone curious about their own body - to deepen their understanding and appreciation for human anatomy from an integral perspective, and to come away from the exploration with solid anatomical knowledge as well as a deeper sense of personal connection to the worlds within and without. 

The full program is composed of 20 separate courses, organized in order to help the student absorb the experience. 

Take both Course 1 & 2, then take the assessment at the end of Course 2 to get credit for both courses.

  • Course 1, A-Z: Beginnings: In this course, we will open our program by meeting our donors, Anna and Z. We will stand in a circle appreciation for their gifts, explore their forms through palpation, and compare their superficial morphologies. We will also create a common etiquette for dissection work and share appropriate safety techniques for work within the laboratory environment. 
  • Course 2, A-Z: Skin, Superficial Fascia, Perifascia & Deep Fascia: In the second course of our "Anatomy from A to Z" series, we explore the layers of the skin, superficial fascia, perifascia, and deep fascia. 

Total Course credit time for Course 1 and Course 2 is 15 hours.
