Did you ever wonder what goes into yoga sequencing to build students up to do a posture that is the “peak” of the practice? Join me for a discussion today about building to a peak pose, the logic that goes into it and how you can easily create sequencing that demonstrates your knowledge of anatomy through the sequence you create and helps your students practice with ease.
In this episode, I offer you my sequence building template which you can get here:

Do you ever notice alignment issues in your students’ poses and wonder what is happening to cause that? Ever have a knot in your hamstrings in Bridge Pose? Well, listen here as I walk you through two major hip muscles and teach you both about anatomy and biomechanics. This information is not readily available to yoga teachers in basic training because it’s outside the scope of what is taught and is found more in the exercise science industry. But I’ll share it with you here to help you distinguish yourself as a knowledgeable resource for your students as well as help you nail those cues!
In the episode, I suggest you get my download on myofascial release:
I also suggest you listen to my episode on MFR too:
Enjoy both and please leave a comment!

Learning anatomy happens in many different ways and one of the best ways to learn it is to practice yoga with an emphasis on anatomy based cues.
I’ve created a special audio only yoga class for you that will allow you to practice yoga with a class that’s focused primarily on the anatomy of the practice.
This is a great way to hear how anatomy can easily blend into your classes easily and without overwhelming students.
This offer is ONLY good this week, until 9/13/19 and the class is only $19.99.
To access this class and start practicing to supplement the learning you’re doing in other ways, see the link below:
Keep an open mind, have fun with it and let me know what you think!

Wondering how you’ll feel once you take action on learning anatomy? Wondering what the point of the work is? Tune in as I walk you through a visualization of sorts, to help you connect to your feelings as I describe the tools you can use as a teacher as well as help you understand how the anatomy you learn will go into the cues you use and also be the basis of how you transform your teaching.
