Meet Ann Swanson (EP.349)

There’s no denying that when you’re teaching yoga, the better you understand anatomy, the more confident you’ll feel. In this episode, you’ll meet Ann Swanson, author and yoga teacher with a wealth of experience in anatomy, yoga, yoga therapy and training teachers. 

 

She's the author of Science of Yoga which has sold over half a million copies worldwide and has been translated into 15+ languages. She also recently announced the newly updated second edition just released this year (2025). 

She’s spent the last 15 years sharing yoga research with the intention of making the practice more inclusive and accessible, especially to people with health conditions. Ann’s background includes LMT, C-IAYT and ERTY-500. 

 

Ann and I discuss not only the anatomy of muscles, bones and joints but also other systems of the body and how to apply it to your teaching and your own health. You’ll find Ann engaging, smart and she has a way of making these topics easy to understand.
