This weekend module is designed for yoga instructors who want to deepen their understanding of anatomy through a hands-on, experiential approach. This is a learn-by-feeling training. Using therapy ball rolling and yoga poses, participants will explore the body from the inside out,

developing a practical and intuitive understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and common injuries so your classes are safe, healing, non-injurious, and pain-free (bye-bye feeling like an imposter). 

​

● Therapy Ball Rolling for Body Mapping: Learn to feel the body's musculature, fascia, and joint structures. By applying pressure through rolling, gain real-time feedback about tension patterns, areas of restriction, and where injuries may commonly arise. 

​

● Therapy Ball Rolling for Muscle and Fascia Exploration: Target key muscle groups and fascia lines, and learn the functions of the tissues while simultaneously feeling how these structures operate in the body. 

​

● Therapy Ball Rolling for Sensory Awareness and Proprioception: Tune into sensory feedback and develop a heightened awareness of joint mobility, muscle length, and overall body mechanics. 

​

● Yoga Poses to Understand Functional Anatomy: Explore the most common yoga poses as a framework for understanding the mechanics of movement, alignment, and injury prevention. Study how different muscle groups engage, stretch, and stabilize the body. 

​

● Active Application of Anatomy: Break down key yoga poses to identify which muscles are lengthening, contracting, or stabilizing. Demystify how the body functions as an integrated system. 

​

● Injury Awareness: Understand common yoga-related injuries (e.g., rotator cuff strain, lower back pain) and how to work in a healing way. 

​

● Somatic Learning: Practical learning (feeling it in your body) is the best way to understand the relationship between structural alignment, functional movement, and injury prevention. 

​

● Integration into Teaching: Learn how to translate this embodied knowledge into teaching cues, class themes, and injury modifications for students of all levels.​
