Yoga Anatomy Immersions

Most yoga teachers don’t struggle with creativity….it’s the anatomy!

Looking for an in depth and energising few days of yoga in Liverpool? Wanna understand more about the anatomical details of your practice? Would you like to gain more stability and mobility for your practice? Moreover, fancy hanging out with Julia and Andrea for yoga, chats and coffee in Liverpool city centre? Yes?

And so, we are pleased to host a series of 30 hr Yoga Anatomy Modules. These are technical courses that are registered and compliant with Yoga Alliance standards. The modules are aimed at yoga teachers and practitioners who would like to learn more about the technicalities of a yoga practice. The courses will provide the knowledge to build both mobility and flexibility, strength and stability in yoga and Pilates, encouraging understanding of potential limitations into postures. In addition, it is an awesome opportunity for practitioners to take postures to the next level through this informative experience.

These modules are part of our 300 hr Yoga Teacher Training program and hours can be counted towards the completion of your advanced training.

The training focused on assisted stretching for the Ashtanga Primary Series. I walked away with so much more confidence, precision and insight into how to support and stretch students safely and effectively. I especially enjoyed the morning Ashtanga practice as it really completed the course and helped integrate everything we were learning. Whether you are an experienced teacher or looking to deepen your practice, I can’t recommend this course enough.

I want to Join

Julia’s teachings and guidance has been integral for developing my yoga practice and she has been so supportive to me! Practicing with Julia has injected fresh inspiration and fun into my yoga practice Ashtanga, and I’m always learning something new in such a fun way, as well as strengthening parts of the body which were neglected by solely practicing Primary Series alone.
