PRACTICAL APPLIED ANATOMY WORKSHOPS FOR YOGA TEACHERS ONLINE

Anatomy-based cueing for safe yoga practice

Sat 26 September 2026, 10am-1pm

A live CPD workshop for yoga teachers who know some anatomy but want more confidence applying it in real teaching situations. We'll explore how anatomical understanding can inform the way you use language - helping you support greater stability, awareness, ease and anatomical integrity in movement.

When students move differently

Know what to notice - and how to respond


Perhaps you notice that individuals are navigating a supported standing forward bend (ardha uttanasana) in different ways.

What do you see in the picture below?



Do you notice differences in leg use? 

Do you observe different available movement in shoulder joints?

Which cues could you give that would help the whole group refine their pose?

Which students, if any, would you give individual coaching to?


If questions like these feel familiar - this workshop is for you


Together we'll explore how anatomical understanding can help you make sense of what you're actually seeing in class, so you can use language more effectively to support students with different bodies and movement patterns.

Knowing what to say

Most yoga teacher training includes anatomy, but many teachers go on to discover that understanding anatomy in theory is very different from applying it in a live class.

We might notice that students move differently, but feel uncertain about how best to respond.

This workshop explores how anatomical understanding can inform the way we use language - helping us offer more appropriate cues, refinements and guidance to different students.



We'll explore how this understanding can help us choose language that is appropriate to the individual, the situation and the intention behind our teaching.

These two workshops build on the approach used in my Essential Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Teaching online course, which is approved by the British Wheel of Yoga and used as a prerequisite for some teacher training programmes.



What you'll gain

By the end of the workshop you'll have more clarity about:

  • How anatomical understanding can inform the way we use language in class

  • Why different students express the same pose differently and require different guidance

  • Adapting cues for different bodies without overcomplicating your teaching

  • Choosing appropriate cues for different students, situations and teaching intentions

Is this workshop for me?

This workshop may be especially helpful if you:

  • Know some anatomy but are unsure how to apply it in teaching

  • Sometimes wonder how much to adapt, refine, reassure or leave alone

  • Feel uncertain about what creates more anatomical integrity and stability in movement

  • Sometimes feel unsure what to say when students move differently

  • If you have completed the Essential Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Teaching online course, this workshop will help you apply that knowledge more directly in real teaching situations

  • 10:00–1:00 (UK time) with short break
