Your essential course for applied anatomy principles... for real life.

Maybe you're already familiar with anatomy or have learned a bit here and there. And yet, you may feel lost at how memorizing muscles and joints applies to movement and real bodies.

Designed for yoga teachers, movement educators and curious people who want to live well in their body, Modern Yoga Essentials helps you increase your movement vocabulary. 

No matter what movements you do - yoga asana, jogging or holding your kids - broadening your movement vocabulary and building up your movement wisdom is essential for living well in your body in all stages of life.

Movement wisdom is gained through experience and exploration. 

This course teaches you applied anatomy and directly weaves it into your everyday life. As we go through real-world applications of this body of knowledge you'll be learning through movement, learning from within.

The "essentials" are the building blocks - or "movement ABC's" - that build the foundation for movement wisdom. This foundation is your roadmap to understanding the "why" behind poses and cues. Being more informed about the purpose of particular movements leads to better sequencing, more trust in yourself as a teacher, and more confidence in offering supportive variations in your classes.

The essentials offer you a movement toolbox that can be applied not just to any style of yoga, but to all of your activities and daily life. Our aim is to help you move well (and with love) now and in 20 years from now.

Continuing education is a powerful experience. It helps to reinvigorate old knowledge, bringing new light and inspiration for your teaching and yoga practice.

There aren't any dry anatomy lectures here. The point of this course is to bring deeper awareness and integration of movement into your body and heart. We'll move beyond dogma and into an approach that makes you feel empowered and confident. 

The Essentials course re-frames that yoga poses don't need to look a certain way and you don't have to fit yourself or if you teach yoga, fit others into a pose. You'll be able to teach in a way that adapts yoga poses and functional movement to love and support people as they are. 

And the best part? You can start any time. When you purchase the course, it's yours to keep forever. There's no timeline to complete the course, you can repeat the lessons as many times as you like. In fact, many of our course participants often come back to the lessons over and over and find new gems and discoveries each time.
