About Course
Yin Yoga, Anatomy & Biomechanics Training
Movement Education for Long-Term Health
Stop guessing.
Start understanding what your body is actually adapting to.
This 6-hour training teaches you how alignment, load, and movement conditions influence joints, tissues, bones, and pain patterns over time.
It’s not about memorizing anatomy.
It’s about learning how movement works.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher or a serious practitioner, this course helps you:
• recognize injury-pattern movements
• understand why certain poses help — and others strain
• support bone loading safely
• work with the feet, pelvis, spine, and knees intelligently
• teach with clarity instead of repetition
This course is eligible for Yoga Alliance CE (E-RYT® 200 / YACEP®).
What Makes This Different
This training was built after I broke my spine in a yoga class.
It is grounded in biomechanics, not aesthetics.
It addresses root mechanical contributors — not just symptoms.
It teaches you how adaptation works.
You will learn:
• how alignment influences load distribution
• how common patterns relate to foot pain, knee pain, SI irritation, pelvic floor strain, and back pain
• how to use props intelligently
• how to identify red flags before strain compounds
• how to reduce reinforcement of injury-pattern movements
This is education. Not diagnosis. Not treatment. Not promises.
It’s about restoring movement literacy.
Why It Matters
Strength is not neutral.
You can reinforce compensation —
or you can reinforce resilience.
This course helps you tell the difference.
What Will You Learn?
- Essential Alignment Inputs
- Injury-pattern movement recognition
- Safer prop use
- Bone loading awareness
- Pelvic and spinal mechanics
- The difference between sensation and sustainability
- This isn’t about fixing bodies.
- It’s about understanding how bodies respond.

Cassie is charming and obviously knows her stuff. There was a wonderful mix of lectures, functional exercises and the key learning points, which were circled back on a number of times, so the learning was super sticky.
