"Anatomy of Yoga" Online Teacher Training Workshop Series (Online, Pre-Recorded, Self Paced)
Welcome to the "Anatomy of Yoga" Teacher Training Workshop Series!
This 3 part workshop series covers the full Anatomy & Physiology module that I teach within Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses.
The 3 Segments of the course are:
I am certified through both Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists as a continuing education provider. Continuing education credits (non-contact) can be earned through the completion of this course.
This course was recorded LIVE as it was delivered over Zoom- so you can hear the students asking questions in real time. I utilize clear visuals in the form of slides that are provided as a downloadable PDF at the beginning of each section. I also utilize the Complete Anatomy App for detailed "virtual dissections" of the body. The best part is that you can work at your own pace and go back to review any information as needed...an essential part to fully absorbing the complex topic of anatomy.

---------------------------------------
Here is the Structure of each module:
1.) For each body system, I will talk about the Key Components that we can utilize on the Yoga mat. This will include postures, sequences, breathwork, and meditation techniques.
2.) I will get on the mat and practice these techniques so that you can see how I integrate them into a yoga class.
3.) I will give you a sample lesson plan that I created for each body system. I will talk you through why I selected each technique and sequence for that particular class theme and how it interacts with that body system.
4.) Putting these skills into action: You will use the lesson planning template to write your own class plan. You will have my sample lesson plan and resources to pull information from to inspire your creativity as a yoga teacher!
Each topic is discussed with a focus on how it relates directly to yoga practice.
The information is conveyed in a way that is applicable to what you do as a yoga teacher and how you can utilize this information to better meet the needs of your students.
