Your Anatomy Teacher
Anatomy with David includes the study of bones, muscles, joints, breathing, asana, strength & flexibility. Happily they are delivered with yoga as their focus.
Being a yoga instructor does not mean you need clinical anatomy & physiology training, our students don't require that of us. The study of anatomy is lifelong, we learn more as we teach & see bodies moving in our classes.
You will study modules on connective tissue, the muscular system, the skeletal system, the nervous system, the digestive system, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system & breathing. You will also look at the foot, ankle, knee & hip joints, the psoas, pelvis & SI joint, the spine, shoulder girdle, hand wrist & elbow joints.

20 Hours Online Study & in-studio with your Tutor
Your anatomy training is delivered through a combination of structured online learning and practical, applied work in the studio.
You will complete a 20-hour online anatomy course covering bones, muscles, joints, breathing, movement, strength, and flexibility. The content is presented through video, reading, and guided exploration, with a strong focus on how anatomy applies to yoga practice.
At the end of each module, you will complete a short quiz. Once all modules and quizzes are completed, you will receive your certificate.
There is no requirement to complete written answers or submit coursework from the online training. The emphasis is on understanding and applying what you learn, not academic-style written work.
During your training with us, we bring this anatomy into practice. On the penultimate day of your course, you will take part in a dedicated practical session where we explore key areas of the body through movement, teaching, and observation.
This session focuses on how anatomy informs real teaching decisions. You will look at how different parts of the body function within yoga postures, and how to apply that understanding when working with students.
This approach replaces written assignments with practical integration, which has proven to be far more effective for developing confident, capable teachers.
