Empower your teaching. Deepen your knowledge. Transform the student experience.
Applied anatomy, pain science and practical teaching strategies.
Future dates TBA.
Why this series matters:
As yoga teachers or serious practitioners, we often encounter students with pain from conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis or chronic low‑back discomfort. These issues are common, complex, and frequently misunderstood.
Conflicting advice can leave even experienced instructors uncertain. Is yoga safe for someone with osteoporosis? Can it actually help? What does research say?
This live online series is designed to bring clarity, grounded in science and delivered with compassion.
“This course is great. As a yoga teacher, who enjoys teaching from an anatomical perspective, I have included so much of what I have learnt into my classes. This had led to a lot of students asking me about their injuries and conditions and I have had more knowledge to give them an answer. It is completely empowering to understand about the body and how it works and this course has changed the way I teach yoga.”
What you’ll gain:
Over three live 3‑hour online workshops, you’ll receive:
A clear, evidence‑based understanding of common pain‑related conditions (how they develop, how they are diagnosed and treated)
Up‑to-date physical‑activity guidelines and how yoga fits in safely
Insight into myths and misconceptions (for example: “Does yoga reverse bone loss?” or “Do tight hamstrings cause back pain?”)
Tools to interpret research critically and translate it into practical teaching strategies
Practical, actionable adaptations to help students move safely — modifications, props, sequencing, cueing language
A live Q&A/discussion space to explore nuances and application
Whether your aim is to support students in pain, refine your teaching language, or deepen your understanding of anatomy and physiology, this series will help you teach with more clarity, confidence and care.
Schedule:
Session 1: Osteoporosis & Bone‑Health Foundations
Session 2: Arthritis & Joint Care in Yoga
Session 3: Chronic Low Back Pain & Nervous‑System Context of Pain
Access to session recordings will be available for 30 days following the final session.
Who this is for:
Yoga teachers seeking to support students with chronic pain or bone‑density concerns
Movement professionals wanting to deepen knowledge of pain science and safe movement adaptations
Committed practitioners who want to understand how to practice intelligently and compassionately — especially if they or someone they teach lives with pain, aging bodies, or injury history
