20hr Yoga Anatomy TT 2026 (TEACHER RATE)
£165
This 20-hour Yoga Anatomy Training is designed to bridge science and sensation, helping you understand what’s actually happening in the body when you move, breathe, and cue yoga.
Whether you’re currently completing a Yoga Teacher Training, already teaching, or a dedicated practitioner who wants deeper insight into why poses feel the way they do, this training gives you practical anatomy you can immediately apply on the mat.
No memorising muscles for the sake of it.
No abstract theory without relevance.
Instead, we focus on functional anatomy, biomechanics, and nervous-system awareness, translated directly into asana, pranayama, and intelligent cueing.
This training fulfils Yoga Alliance Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) continuing education requirements and offers a clear, embodied understanding of how yoga interacts with the human system.
What You’ll Learn
🦴 Musculoskeletal System (Part 1 & 2)
Foundations of movement, alignment, and intelligent cueing
Introductory anatomy as applied directly to asana
Planes of movement and anatomical axes
Functional movement terminology (so cues make sense)
Muscular sensation vs bone-led alignment
Standing postures and spinal mechanics in practice
You’ll learn how different bodies experience the same pose differently, and how to cue for safety, clarity, and ease rather than rigid shape.
🫁 Respiratory System & Pranayama
Breath as structure, not just technique
Anatomy and physiology of breathing
The diaphragm in movement and stillness
How breath mechanics influence posture and energy
Direct application to pranayama and asana
You’ll explore how breathing patterns affect stability, mobility, and nervous-system tone and how to guide breath in a way that supports the whole system.
🧠 Nervous System (Part 1 & 2)
Why regulation matters more than flexibility
The autonomic nervous system
Stress, safety, and recovery responses
Polyvagal theory explained simply and practically
How asana, breath, and pacing influence regulation
This section helps you understand why certain practices calm, stimulate, or overwhelm and how to teach with greater sensitivity and awareness.
🧬 Connective Tissue & Fascial Systems (Part 1 & 2)
Structure, resilience, and long-term joint health
Fascia, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone
How connective tissue adapts to load and movement
Joint mobility vs joint stability
Synovial joints and biomechanics of motion
Forces used to mobilise joints safely
Includes an asana lab, helping you see through an anatomical lens.
🧘🏽♀️ Flexibility, Mobility & Kinesiology
Strength and stretch working together
The difference between flexibility and mobility
How range of motion actually increases
Strength as a requirement for safe flexibility
Injury-aware approaches to stretching
Sustainable, long-term movement practice
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to support students (and yourself) in building strength, freedom, and resilience without forcing range.
How This Training Supports Yoga Alliance Standards
This 20-hour training meets Yoga Alliance Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) requirements, covering:
Musculoskeletal anatomy
Nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, and digestive systems
Biomechanics and kinesiology
Functional application to asana and pranayama
All content is taught through direct yoga application, ensuring it’s relevant, embodied, and immediately useful.
Who This Training Is For
Yoga teacher trainees wanting anatomy that actually makes sense
Qualified teachers refining cueing, alignment, and injury awareness
Curious practitioners who want to understand their own practice better
Anyone who values intelligent movement over aesthetic shape
No prior anatomy knowledge required, just curiosity and a willingness to feel and observe.
The Intention
To help you teach and practise yoga with clarity instead of confusion, confidence instead of guesswork, and respect for the body’s intelligence.
Because when you understand the body,
the practice gets lighter, safer, and more alive.

James R. - Yogi
I’m not a teacher, just very curious about how my body works. This course was accessible, fascinating, and incredibly practical. I understand my limitations without judging them, and my practice feels safer and more intelligent.”
Rachel P. - Yoga teacher (2+ years)
The fascia modules were worth the training alone. I finally understand how connective tissue responds to load, time, and repetition, and why forcing stretches never worked. My sequencing is more intelligent, and my students move with far less strain.
Tom - Yoga Teacher (5+ years)
I’ve taken anatomy courses before, but this one stood out. It wasn’t about memorising muscles. It was about understanding movement, joints, and why cues land differently in different bodies. Practical, calm, and thoughtful.
Sarah M. - Yoga Teacher
This training completely changed how I see bodies in yoga. Anatomy finally made sense, and more importantly, it made my teaching clearer and kinder. I cue with so much more confidence now, and my students feel the difference.
Priya K. - Yoga Teacher & Therapist
The nervous system and polyvagal sections were a gamechanger for me. It helped me understand why certain practices regulate and others overstimulate. I feel far more 'trauma-aware' in my teaching now.
Maya N. - Yoga Teacher
What surprised me most was how clearly the physical anatomy was linked to energy and presence. Understanding breath, fascia, and the nervous system helped me feel prana more distinctly, not as an idea, but as something lived in the body. My teaching feels more spacious and grounded.
Alex B. - Yoga Teacher (3+ years)
I’d always heard fascia mentioned but never really got it until this course. The way fascia was linked to sensation, hydration, and long-term joint health completely changed how I teach (and practice). Everything feels more connected.
Hannah S. - Yoga Teacher
Clear, grounded, and beautifully taught. I left feeling more confident, more curious, and far less attached to ‘perfect shapes’. This course reminded me that yoga is about intelligence and relationship, not forcing range.
