Online Course
Join Noah to understand the anatomy and kinesiology of common yoga poses, including joint positions, difficulties, common misalignments, agonist and antagonist muscle groups. This course assumes you have a baseline understanding of anatomy. From there, you will learn much, including how to apply the mechanics of movement to your own yoga poses and your teaching. Explore why misalignments occur in common yoga poses and what to do about it.

We will break down a pose anatomically, from head to toe, review joint positions, agonist and antagonist muscle groups and common misalignments and difficulties. We will review the anatomy and kinesiology of the primary body regions for this pose. We will consider the priorities for this pose and sketch out a class sequence to systematically teach the complexity of this pose. Noah will demonstrate various drills using props to target specific muscle groups, and model verbal instructions to teach with more technical language as well as more simple language. We will consider the use of props, verbal cues, postural demonstrations, physical adjustments and other teaching strategies to effectively teach the relevant lessons within a yoga class context. Suffice it to say, you will learn a lot!
We cover the following body regions and postural focuses in this order:
- Session 1: Urdhva Mukha Svanasana
- Session 2: Bakasana & Paschimottanasana

“I am super excited to join in on this course. I have some catching up to do but I do have scoliosis and am fused from T3 to L4 and it runs with my family. I hope to gain some knowledge for my own practice as well as to share with others.” —Elizabeth, Louisville Kentucky
“Your online courses are awesome! I [participate in] online courses with many other teachers, and I find that your courses offer way more resources, seem to be exceptionally current – rather than pre-planned, and relate to our interaction and feedback ( where you use threads from each week). [It is] truly inspiring, captivating and engaging, as well as encouraging, to learn more and to give more to our students and ourselves. After all, we are our own biggest students. I am so enthralled by your teaching, I wish I could do everything!” – Michelle Cross
