A grounded, practical approach to anatomy
so you understand how bodies actually move —
not just how poses look.
Rooted in functional movement, nervous system awareness, and real-world teaching application, not just memorizing Latin muscle names.
If you teach yoga or practice seriously, chances are you’ve had moments where you quietly wondered:
“Is this cue really right for this body?”
“Should I adapt this — and if yes, how?”
“Why does this posture help one student and irritate another?”
You care about bodies.
You want to teach responsibly.
You want your choices to be informed
— not improvised.
You may have learned anatomy before.
Muscle charts, Latin names, long theory....
It felt abstract, overwhelming, disconnected from real practice and you still felt uncertain in real classes.
You don’t need more Latin muscle names.
You need clarity that translates into action.
Imagine walking into you class feeling clear
instead of second-guessing. You understand what is happening inside the body, not just what it looks like from the outside.
Instead of guessing, you recognize patterns.
Instead of rigid alignment rules, you see functional options. Instead of uncertainty, you make grounded decisions.
Picture yourself being able to adapt poses calmly when someone mentions an injury. Knowing what to change during pregnancy. Explaining movement in simple language that students immediately feel in their bodies.
Your body doesn’t spike with anxiety.
Tension doesn’t crawl through your chest.
You think clearly, speak calmly, act intentionally.
It becomes more precise.
Your practice becomes more intelligent.
Your confidence becomes quieter — but solid.
Your teaching stops being about getting everyone into the same shape.
Most yoga teacher trainings barely touch the surface on anatomy and feel dry, overwhelming, or disconnected from real teaching.
It leaves you more confused then clear.
That’s exactly why this training was built differently.
It’s grounded, practical, and directly tied to what you actually see in classes.
You don’t need to become a walking anatomy atlas.
You need to understand what matters.
Group size is limited so questions and movement exploration have space.
If as you read this, your body recognizes what’s being named here.
Take a deep breath.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
"I had the pleasure of learning from Lena during my Yoga Teacher Training in 2023, and she is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled teacher. She was mainly responsible for the anatomy part of our training, and she made complex topics clear, interesting, and easy to apply to yoga practice. I feel very grateful to have learned from her and highly recommend her as a teacher."
Francy
"Lena's knowledge of anatomy is so in-depth she simultaneously makes learning super accessible, memorable and enjoyable. I would 100% recommend Lena's training for anyone interested not just in yoga but the anotomical body itself. Her teaching supported me greatly as part of my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training foundation course."
Bryony
Lena’s anatomy training was a real game-changer for both my teaching and personal practice. After completing my 200-hour YTT, I felt like I only scratched the surface of this vast topic. Lena guided me through much deeper learning about the human body, with clarity, kindness, professionalism, and profound knowledge. Super recommended!

Meet Your Teacher
With 20 years of experience as a sports therapist/personal trainer and over a decade teaching yoga, I’ve spent my career studying how bodies move.
As a sports therapist, I’ve supported people in rehab settings, gyms, and group classes. I’ve seen injuries develop, patterns repeat, and also witnessed how intelligent movement changes everything.
Seeing firsthand how bodies adapt, compensate, protect, and heal shaped profoundly how I teach yoga classes.
And over the years, I noticed something important: many teachers were taught shapes — but not function.
That gap is why this training exists.
I don’t teach anatomy as theory. I teach it as something you can see, feel, and apply — immediately.
Because when you understand how a body actually works, your teaching becomes clearer. Calmer. More responsible.
This isn’t "just paying" for anatomy education.
It’s choosing to become the teacher who sees function — not just form.
The kind of teacher students trust without needing to question why.
