Applied Yoga Anatomy
Everything yoga teachers need to know about the human body
The vast majority of yoga teachers still use outdated one-size-fits-all cues that don't work for most students. You can do better. This course enables you to help individual students with specific goals and unique bodies.

Why This Course Exists
The anatomy training for teachers who actually care about their students
Most yoga teachers don't understand the human body.
Yoga is a very physical practice. To teach it well, you need to understand how the body works on the mat. That's why we study yoga anatomy. Unfortunately, getting a solid understanding of the human body as it relates to yoga is not as straightforward as you may think. And that's why most teachers feel like they don't really understand yoga anatomy.
Some 200 hour YTTs (like my first training in India) skip the anatomy part completely and rely only on simple movement cues and - if those don't seem to work - harsh physical assists to get students into the shapes that the teacher wants to see.
Other programs (like the 20 hour anatomy workshop that I took to fill the knowledge gap that I brought home from India) teach yoga anatomy as if it was a seminar for medicine students at university. They'll have you remember long lists of Latin terms for bones and muscles. But these grocery lists of names don't help you much when your student struggles in Down Dog and asks you for help.
Then there are some teachers (like the leader of my second YTT) who only focus on alignment. They teach you a library of cues that will get all students into the "perfect pose". The problem is, however, that the "perfect pose" doesn't exist. It's a myth. One-size-fits all cues don't work for most people.
If you're a yoga teacher who genuinely cares about your students, then you need to go beyond what most anatomy courses teach you.

So if you are a yoga teacher who actually cares about their students you need to go further. This means that if you are a yoga teacher who actually cares about your students, then you need to learn more than just one set of cues which supposedly make the "perfect pose". You need to understand all the ways in which yoga bodies differ. How to "read" your students, and which questions to ask so that you can tailor your teaching to specific students and give helpful advice about how they can advance their practice.
More than that, you should learn to create classes and give cues that embrace physical differences. Teach your students that props are not for losers. But that they should be our friends. Help them accept You can learn to offer multiple pose variations and help each student find the best version for their body. Y
After realizing that my way of teaching was outdated (even though it was considered the "gold standard" at the time), I had to start over.

What yoga teachers need to know about anatomy
You need to learn about all the ways in which your students are physically different. (E.g. some have relatively long arms other have relatively short arms).
Plus, you need to understand the impact that skeletal variations, stronger and weaker muscles, body proportions, injuries etc. can have on the yoga practice of your students. (E.g. long arms make it easy to step through from Down Dog into a lunge).
Next, you need to learn how to help students who find themselves struggling in poses that seem to be no big deal for others. (E.g. tell the student who has relatively short arms to place their hands on blocks so that stepping through becomes easier.)
Since most students are not aware of all the ways in which they are unique, you as the teacher should be able to "read" human bodies so that you can see obvious differences (like short arms vs. long arms) quickly. You need to know which questions you can ask your students to learn more about the less obvious ways in which they are unique.
Finally, you should learn how to sequence and teach in a way that's safe, accessible to all students, and at the same time challenging for those seeking intensity. This means including props, giving options, and teaching multiple variations of a pose.

What you can expect from this training
I created the Applied Yoga Anatomy course to save you time, money and energy. In 20 hours I'll teach you everything that you as a a yoga teacher need to know about anatomy, biomechanics and movement science.
The course includes no fluff at all. It's based on cutting-edge research. And I did my very best to translate technical (aka. dry and confusing) information into actionable teachings that you can apply immediately to your own practice and your teaching.
The program will help you unlearn outdated cues that you have heard and maybe used a Million times. And you'll learn what to say instead.
What is more, the course also includes loads of little golden knowledge nuggets that you can use to make your teaching more interesting.
Most importantly, this program will turn you into a teacher who can speak with authority and who teaches yoga in a way that honors and respects each student's unique body.

Can I really learn yoga anatomy online?
Yes! An online training is the absolute best way to learn yoga antomy. We've always been huge fans of in-person yoga experiences. But an online training has incredible advantages: You get a front row seat in each lecture. We zoom in on what matters most. And you can watch the lectures multiple times. This is huge for yoga anatomy because the materials are very dense. You'll find the Pause button of this online training incredibly helpful. Because it gives you the chance to try things yourself without missing half the lecture. To come back to an explanation whenever you need it - until you have fully internalized it. You don't have to focus on notes or rush to class. And you don't have to sit through small talk at the beginning of every session. All of this is impossible in an in-person training!

Going through the training
How is the course structured
The Movement Wisdom Applied Yoga Anatomy Program is divided into 6 modules. We'll first learn important basics, then go on a journey through the human body from the perspective of a yoga practitioner and teacher. In the final module of the program we'll study body systems, the breath, fascia and other topics that go beyond the usual scope of a yoga anatomy program.
