Days 1 & 2: Asanas & Cueing
You’ll begin by refining your understanding of foundational postures and building confidence in your cueing. Through experiential learning, you’ll develop skills to sequence intelligently, teach with clarity, and support alignment that honours the uniqueness of each body. This portion emphasizes clear language and how to guide students safely with both verbal and hands-on support.
Asanas, Curing & Anatomy
Teacher Training
The Science of Movement, the Art of Embodiment
This 4-day immersive 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, this course bridges the gap between anatomical theory and the lived experience of asana.
The training is divided into two parts:
Days 3 & 4: Functional Yoga Anatomy
In the second half of the training, we’ll dive deeper into applied anatomy – exploring how bones, muscles, joints, fascia and connective tissues all influence movement and stability in yoga. This is not about memorizing parts of the body, but about understanding how to teach and practice yoga in a way that is informed, inclusive and embodied.
You’ll learn how to observe bodies in motion, recognize common patterns, and apply this knowledge to offer personalized, supportive and anatomically sound instruction. Whether you’re new to anatomy or seeking to refresh your understanding, you’ll leave with a solid foundation to teach with confidence and integrity.
