Why anatomy
Teach with confidence, not guesswork
Every body in your class is different. Anatomy is how you understand why.
Most teacher trainings can only give anatomy a weekend. That's rarely enough to feel sure when a student says their knee hurts in pigeon, or their low back aches after backbends.
Dr. Lauren McCollough is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a yoga teacher, so she speaks both languages. She walks you through how the body really moves, in plain language, with yoga in mind the whole way.
Watch at your own pace, rewatch anything, and keep it for good.
The course
Six modules, head to toe
Each module is a video lesson with a downloadable PDF study guide full of diagrams and breakdowns.
Module 1 40 min
Introduction to Yoga Anatomy
The language of movement: the terms, planes and directions you'll use in every class.
Module 2 1 hr
The Musculoskeletal System
Bones, joints, muscles and connective tissue, and how they work together in every pose.
Module 3 1 hr 10 min
The Spine
How the spine bends, twists and lengthens, so folds, backbends and twists feel safe and strong.
Module 4 2 hr
The Core
What the core really is, well beyond the abs, and how it supports breath and movement.
Module 5 1 hr 20 min
Upper Extremities
Shoulders, elbows and wrists, for steadier plank, chaturanga, arm balances and inversions.
Module 6 1 hr 30 min
