Today I have Emrys Goldsworthy on the cast with me again. I love how this functional musculoskeletal expert thinks and practices so I have brought him back to talk about Yoga from a functional musculoskeletal point of view.
Emrys is originally trained as a classical ballet dancer at the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet in Melbourne. He went on to join the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company as a company artist where he danced ballets such as Romeo and Juliet, Coppelia, The Nutcracker, A Million Kisses to My Skin and many more. After having his own health troubles, he decided to retire from ballet and move back to Australia. The following year he enrolled into a Bachelor of Health Science (Musculoskeletal Therapy).
