Anatomy & Asanas Teacher Training

An Introduction Yoga Teacher Training for Aspiring Teachers and Dedicated Practitioners

This training offers a practical and engaging exploration of how the human body moves and functions within the context of yoga. Designed for both aspiring teachers and dedicated practitioners, it bridges the gap between anatomical theory and the lived experience of asana.

Through clear, accessible instruction, you’ll study the skeletal and muscular systems, joint actions, and the role of connective tissues in stability and mobility. You’ll also learn how to observe bodies in motion, identify common patterns, and offer alignment cues that support both safety and personal expression in the practice.

This training goes beyond memorizing muscles - it helps you understand how to intelligently sequence classes, modify postures for different body types, and use props to enhance accessibility. By developing this anatomical awareness, you’ll become a more confident, responsive, and informed teacher or practitioner.

Whether you're new to anatomy or looking to refresh your understanding, this course will help you build a strong foundation for teaching and practicing yoga in a way that honours each body's unique structure.
