Anatomy & Physiology Lesson Plans for Yoga Teacher Trainings

A complete set of ready-to-teach lesson plans designed for yoga teacher trainings.

This anatomy curriculum is designed to help yoga teacher trainers deliver clear, accessible, and practical anatomy education within a yoga teacher training. Vetted through thousands of hours of real world teaching, these lesson plans help you teach anatomy as well as apply it practically to yoga practice and teaching to make it relevant and actionable for your teacher trainees.

These yoga anatomy lesson plans are based on thousands of hours of experience leading yoga teacher trainings, years of anatomical study, and my professional work as an instructional designer.
