Touch that teaches. Presence that transforms.

A progressive series of 3 weekends (6 workshop days) where you get to feel alignment, understand what you see, and practice hands-on adjustments with clarity and care.

Whether you’re already teaching, preparing to teach, or simply curious about how skillfully deepen your practice, this is a space where your confidence can grow, one adjustment at a time.

Join a full weekend, or take the full series as part of our Yoga Alliance–accredited Teacher Training / Continuing Education pathway.

What you’ll explore

This is hands-on, skill-focused training and learning will land in your hands, not only in your head.

You’ll practice

• Effective, supportive adjustments that respect bodies and boundaries
• Safe alignment techniques you can apply across different bodies
• Anatomy + biomechanics made practical (so your teaching becomes clearer)
• Teaching methodology that helps you cue, observe, and assist with confidence

And just as importantly: the subtle skill of knowing when not to adjust, when holding space is the most powerful choice.

Who can join

If you’ve ever thought “I wish I knew exactly what to do with my hands” you’ll feel at home here.

This series welcomes:

• Yoga practitioners who want to enhance technique and embodiment
• Aspiring teachers who want a strong foundation before stepping forward
• Certified teachers who want more confidence, clarity, and options in assists
• 200h / 300h Teacher Training students (these weekends are included as part of the program)

Workshop Series Overview (3 weekends / 6 workshop days)

Each weekend builds your skills through hands-on repetition, feedback, and real teaching practice, then the next weekend takes you deeper. Across the series, you’ll explore four core themes:

• Foundation & Stability — understanding balance, alignment, and what to observe before you touch
• Deepening Adjustments — techniques that support flexibility and safe assists
• Energy & Breath Connection — using touch to refine breath awareness and presence
• Building Confidence as a Teacher — hands-on practice in a teaching environment, so you can apply what you learn

How the series is structured

Across these workshop weekends, you’ll work through the full Primary Series, asana by asana and your hands learn what your eyes see.

Module 1 — Sun Salutations and Standing Sequence

You’ll refine Sun salutations and the standing asanas: foundations, balance, transitions, and how to assist with stability and clarity.

Module 2 — Up to Half Primary

You’ll continue through the sequence from where the standing postures end up to Half Primary, building confidence in assists, alignment choices, and teaching cues.

Module 3 — Full Primary + Closing Sequence

You’ll complete the work through the remainder of Primary Series, including the closing sequence—with special attention on safe depth, breath, and consistency.

Understanding your body, deepening your practice, enriching your teaching

This is not your average anatomy course.

This is about you.
Your breath. Your spine. Your movement. Your energy.
And how all of it comes together on your mat — and in your life.

In this course, we explore anatomy as a living language. Not to memorize bones and muscles, but to understand what your body is already trying to tell you. You’ll begin to feel where alignment becomes ease, how breath creates space, and why awareness is your most powerful tool.

Each session invites you into a new layer of the body — and each system we explore becomes another mirror for your yoga journey. We’ll weave together physical structure, energetic function, and yogic wisdom in a way that is practical, clear, and deeply relevant to your own experience.

What you’ll explore

• Introduction to Anatomy — The building blocks of the body and how we understand movement
• Skeletal System — How structure supports movement, posture, and strength
• Joints, Ligaments & Mobility — Where movement begins, and how to protect it
• Muscular System — The relationship between strength, flexibility, and control
• Cardiovascular System — Understanding your inner circulation and energy flow
• Respiratory System — Breath as a bridge between awareness and vitality
• Digestive System — What nourishes you and how elimination affects your balance
• Nervous System — Learning to calm, energize, and regulate through the body
• Endocrine System — Hormonal rhythms, subtle energy, and chakra awareness

How we learn

You’ll engage with each system in three ways:

1. In your body – through asana, breath, and mindful awareness
2. In theory – clear explanations that connect yoga with physiology
3. In your teaching – practical ways to share this insight with others

We’re not learning anatomy for its own sake.
We’re learning it for the moments you close your eyes in Warrior II and feel grounded in your femur…
For the breath that changes your energy mid-practice…
For the student who asks, “Why does this twist feel better on one side?” — and you know how to guide them.

This course is for you if:

• You want to teach yoga with more confidence and clarity
• You want to move with more understanding and less guesswork
• You’re curious how yoga truly impacts the body — beyond what we see
• You enjoy learning through both feeling and reflection

At The Yoga Nest, we don’t just teach anatomy.
We help you experience it — so your body becomes your best teacher.
