The training consists of four individual week-long modules with each providing 50 hours of tuition, of which 40 hours are delivered in person and 10 hours online.

Learn about the miraculous structure and function of your body! Studying the qualities of joints, connective tissues and muscles give you a holistic understanding of the effects of asana on the body. This will enable you to teach yoga postures in an safe and helpful way to different body types and to work intelligently with your own and other students’ capabilities, limitations and full potential.

We will explore the anatomy of the postures within the major asana groups including back bends, forward bends, hip opening postures and arm balances. Through a deeper understanding of our body’s structure and movement patterns, we learn how to bring ease and grace to our practice and to teach with a quality of refinement that supports health and longevity.

Learning Yoga Anatomy from a yogi with 45 years of practice experience who is a Doctor of Chiropractic and a registered Yoga Therapist makes this an engaging and powerfully relevant topic!
