Anatomy: YTT Module TNP Wellness 200-Hour YAECP® Teacher Training
The Missing Link in Most Yoga Training
You can follow a sequence. You can mirror a pose. But when a student says their knee hurts, their wrist is compromised, or their hip doesn’t move that way — do you know why, and do you know what to do?
Most yoga teachers find themselves:
- Cueing alignment without truly understanding the structures underneath
- Unsure why certain poses feel different in different bodies
- Unable to confidently modify for injuries or anatomical variation
- Teaching movement patterns they’ve memorized rather than ones they understand
- Lacking the biomechanical foundation to keep students safe long-term
Without a functional understanding of anatomy, teaching yoga is guesswork — and guesswork in movement can cause real harm.
What You’ll Learn in This Module
Led by Dr. Kali D. Arnold — Orthopedic Surgeon, Yoga & Pilates Instructor, and Movement & Anatomy Educator — this module gives you the anatomical foundation to teach with genuine confidence, safety, and awareness.
You’ll learn:
- Functional anatomy for yoga and movement — how the body’s structures actually work together in practice
- Biomechanics and movement patterns — why the body moves the way it does and what that means for your teaching
- Key body systems and their roles in practice — connecting anatomy to breath, alignment, and nervous system function
- Adapting movement for diverse bodies — making informed modifications based on real anatomical understanding
