Anatomy Educator

The human body is a magnificent wonder. The most intelligent, diverse and complex machine of them all. What a gift we get to live in one every day, and an honour to educate you on its extraordinariness.

Looking for a yoga anatomy teacher for your training?

Since 2020 I have been writing Anatomy & Physiology course content for 200hr teacher trainings, including for MoreYoga- Londons biggest yoga studio. I independently guided 4 groups and over 200 students through their training both online and in person.

I also created my own 4 part applied anatomy training; From Roots To Leaves. The four-part course guides fellow inquisitives in an educational journey from the feet upwards. This online training reached over 50 people, and will soon be available as an On Demand training for purchase.

As a Level 5 Sports & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist, my anatomy knowledge is not only expansive, but applied, and relevant to many physical practices as well as yoga.

My Approach

Even as someone who is completely galvanised by the human body on a daily basis, I think we can all agree that depending on how it’s taught, anatomy can be drier than the Sahara desert.

It’s all well and good learning the Latin and Greek names for all the bones and muscles in the body, but is that information useful in a class setting? My thought; not really.

My approach to teaching anatomy to trainee teachers is applied, inclusive and interactive. Students are not just sat in front of work books being spoken at, but rather finding, feeling and experiencing their anatomy in an interactive way. As much as we learn integrating the anatomical language, it’s not just a memory game, and the content is relevant to the aims

  • To be able to deliver conscientious classes from a physiological view point

  • Comprehensive understanding of bodies in motion, structures involved and the variety we as teachers are exposed to

  • Common issues & injures that present, and how to work with these

My approach is to begin global, and funnel into the detail, whilst returning back to study topics continuously to reinforce eg, studying the nervous system and respiratory system as individual biological units, followed by their interaction, depending the layers of understanding.

Kathy’s energy poured through her teaching- knowledgable, enthusiastic and grounded. The accessible language she used and her articulation in sharing information kept my attention through out. As a Yoga teacher I feel encouraged to rethink how I’ve been teaching, what the aims of my classes are and the language I have used, and that is exciting.

The Content

The content modules follows a ground upward approach on the structures, interwoven with the other systems

  • An introduction to the body and anatomical language

  • Skeletal & muscular systems

  • The nervous & Cardiovascular System

  • The Respiratory System

  • The Feet & Legs

  • The Hips & Pelvis

  • The Spine & Rib Cage

  • The Shoulders, Elbows & Wrists

Each module can be taught as an individual unit with its own manual, or all modules together would equate to the 30hrs A&P content required by Yoga Alliance on any 200hr TTC.

I am also open to a collaborative approach, or teaching content that has already been written within your course.
