Description: This 3-hour workshop is designed for yoga instructors to unlock the power of anatomy and functional sequencing.

Part 1: Fundamentals covers essential concepts such as anatomical position, directional terms, and biomechanics.

Part 3: Advanced Sequencing Principles and Key Concepts dives into peak poses, transitions, tissue stressors, and anatomical variations. You will gain insights into constructing effective, balanced, and creative sequences tailored to all levels and ranges of motion.

The purpose of this workshop is to equip you with tools to teach purposefully and share techniques that keep your classes inspired and accessible for all experience levels. Enhance your practice by learning therapeutic movements and applying modifications to support both your students and your own body, allowing you to teach with intention, sequence with an anatomical focus, and adjust class difficulty as needed.
