Learn to feel each asana from the inside out so you can be yoga injury free for life. We will start from the ground up and explore the bones, joints, muscles and supporting tissues of the feet/ankles, knees, hips, spine and shoulders and discover how this anatomy applies to practicing, teaching and assisting yoga postures intelligently and confidently.

We will also review universal anatomical terminology, as well as skeletal and muscular anatomy.

For those interested in yoga for better mobility, this module is a valuable resource which demonstrates how, with knowledge of applied anatomy, yoga can be used as a powerful modality for feeling better in your body.

Building on your understanding of Yoga a a truly transformative “technology”, you will also learn to apply your study of Yoga a tool to physically release, relax and allow the body to recover for the toll life may take on it.

In this practical module, you learn how Yoga can release mental and physical injury, disease and discomfort.

We will learn to adapt Yoga for:

• Back and spine injury and pain

• Knee and hip replacements and injuries

• Shoulder and wrist injury and recovery

• Various diseases + pathologies.

You will learn how to adapt Yoga to suit the needs of a specific group or person.

Become a highly sought out teacher who helps people truly feel free + alive! 

  

In this offering, you will experience your radiant body, energy field and learn how to stay harmonized.

The ancient yoga masters understood our human body is quite different from the way we understand it in modern times.

They conceived a very detailed and precise anatomy of the human body, which is very subtle and symbolic, rather than just physiological.

This model was used as the foundation to understand and interpret the way our system functioned, or malfunctioned.

In order to effectively work with Yoga as a transformative art, we must have an understanding of energetic anatomy including the Koshas (sheaths of being), Vayus (winds) Nadis (subtle channels) + Chakras (symbolic energy centers).

In this module you will:

• Understand "energetic" anatomy and how the various systems interact

• Learn to understand the "consciousness" and wisdom of the Chakras and create transformation + harmony through Yoga + meditation

• Learn to "diagnose" energy patterns and imbalances in yourself and your students.

• Learn kinesiology to pinpoint areas of stagnation + stress

• Understand "subtle medicine" practices including pranayama.

This module gives you the tools to work beyond just muscle and bone and become a true practitioner of energetic magic.  

You will explore fundamental and subtle alignment principles in ways you may have never experienced as a student or a teacher.

There are thousands of poses and thousands of refinements, but Angela makes it both simple and profound in this module by giving you specific “rules” and approaches that will feel easeful + graceful as a teacher.

Armed with this knowledge, as teachers we can provide a powerful + unique experience for our students as we guide them into postures from a truly safe, grounded and transformative approach.

You will also have the confidence + insight to know how to modify or adapt postures for students as well as provide true connection.

With a strong understanding of biomechanics + alignment principles, your teaching will soar while you will also gain a comprehensive understanding of asana.

Deepen and expand your personal practice and learn to use these masterful alignment principles to experience greater strength, stability and freedom while teaching! 

Assisting allows your students to receive the benefits of alignment, energy flow and connection, yet many teachers feel insecure, uncertain and even fearful of assisting.

Hands-on touch is also a deeply nourishing and supportive means of allowing students to move past their own limitations, but we have to move past our own limitations as teachers first!

In the first part of this module you will learn how to:

• Assist beginners and common misalignment issues

• Assess anatomy versus misalignment

• Deepen the practice through deeper assists that release tension and blockages

• Feel confident and solid in your assisting skills.

In the second half you will learn create sequences that are rooted in modern biomechanics and ancient energy wisdom which creates classes that are easeful and creative every time. You will learn how to feel inspired, safe + clear when you create classes for groups or individuals and KNOW that you are giving the very best practice.

We will also investigate the role of pacing, music and breath as a means to create a transformative flow that places the brain and body in a syncopated and meditative experience.

Learn the magic of touch, assists + sequencing to teach like a rockstar!
