ANATOMY for YOGA TEACHERS

Understand the human body in motion, not as a diagram—but as a dynamic, living system expressed through breath, effort, and adaptation.

Anatomy for Yoga Teachers with Carling Harps is a ✦ 25‑hour on-demand course ✦ that blends anatomical understanding with the language of teaching. No memorization. No jargon. Just meaningful insight you can carry directly into your classes.

✷ Expand Your Teaching Lens

Step into your next class with a grounded sense of how the body moves, responds, and communicates. This course is for teachers who want to:

✶ Teach with a deeper awareness of what’s happening beneath the surface

✶ Adapt and personalize their classes with clarity and confidence

✶ Speak to the physical body without disconnecting from the lived experience of practice

✶ Build a foundation in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics—without getting lost in theory

✶ Offer safer, more intelligent sequences that still leave room for exploration

✦ What You’ll Learn

✶ Musculoskeletal Awareness

Begin with the foundational structures—bones, muscles, and joints—and how they interact in common yoga forms. Learn to observe movement in real time and support the students in front of you with intelligence and care.

✶ Physiology in Practice

Understand how the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems operate within practice. Move beyond surface-level instruction and offer breathwork and pacing strategies that reflect a fuller view of how the body functions.

✶ Biomechanics & Applied Movement

Explore load, tension, leverage, and movement variability. Develop your eye for alignment as a spectrum rather than a fixed point—and use that knowledge to help students refine their own experience, not conform to yours.

✶ Cueing & Communication

Language matters. Learn how to speak to the body without sounding mechanical. Develop the ability to explain, suggest, and support through clear, spacious instruction that leaves room for individual variation.

✶ What’s Included

✷ Visible Body 3D Anatomy platform (1 year access)

✷ Designed for Working Teachers

The course unfolds in layered modules that meet you where you are. Whether you’re reviewing foundational material or exploring anatomy for the first time, you’ll find space to revisit, absorb, and apply at your own pace.

Carling brings a voice that’s both grounded and refreshingly human—clarifying complex topics in a way that feels conversational and applicable. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of movement, language, and how to support real people in real classes.

✦ Who This Is For

✶ New teachers preparing for their first 200HR or bridging knowledge gaps

✶ Experienced teachers looking to refine their anatomical understanding

✶ Movement professionals wanting to deepen their eye for form and function

✶ Yoga educators offering CE hours and mentorship

✶ Anyone ready to teach with more clarity, compassion, and context

✶ A More Informed, Embodied Practice

Anatomy doesn’t have to feel separate from your teaching. When learned with care, it becomes a lens that sharpens everything else.

This course will meet you at the intersection of knowledge and intuition—where movement begins to speak its own language, and your role as a guide becomes more nuanced, more informed, and more aligned with the people you serve.
