YOGA ANATOMY
100 HOURS ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING
Understanding Yogic Anatomy: A Path to Deeper Practice
Yogic anatomy is the study of both the physical and energetic structures of the human body as they relate to the practice of yoga. It includes knowledge of muscles, bones, and connective tissues, as well as the subtle channels through which energy flows.
For yoga teachers, this understanding is essential. It forms the foundation for creating safe, effective practices for students of all levels. With insight into the body’s mechanics and energy systems, you can help your students avoid injury, refine their posture, and experience the deeper benefits of yoga.
More than just a teaching tool, yogic anatomy invites you to see each student as a unique being. No two bodies are the same. A deep study of yogic anatomy allows you to tailor your instruction to the individual—acknowledging their strengths, challenges, and needs.
Through this lens, yoga becomes more than movement; it becomes a way of life. It encourages mindful adjustments, respectful alignment, and the cultivation of awareness in every posture.
By integrating yogic anatomy into your teaching, you not only deepen your own practice—you also become a more skilled, trusted, and sought-after guide for others on their path.
