ANATOMY 2.0
Discover the science behind the lymphatic system, vagus nerve and pre and postnatal anatomy, and learn how to turn complex physiology into practical tools that transform the way you teach.
ENROL NOWWho's it for?
This 100% online and on-demand training is self-paced and is perfect for you if...
YOU'RE A YOGA TEACHER OR CURRENTLY TRAINING...
wants to move beyond traditional anatomy training and understand the body's lesser-explored systems, from lymphatic flow and nervous system regulation to the physiological changes of pregnancy and beyond.
YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND YOGA AND...
want to understand what the research really tells us about the vagus nerve, lymphatics and interoception, moving beyond common myths and oversimplifications to teach with greater clarity and confidence.
YOU WANT TO SUPPORT A WIDER RANGE OF STUDENTS...
and you're ready to develop the anatomical knowledge and practical skills to make informed decisions, adapt your teaching thoughtfully and recognise when specialist support is needed.
What you'll learn:
-
How the lymphatic system works, why movement and breathing matter, and how to integrate lymphatic-aware practices into your yoga classes
-
How to apply Dr Perry Nickelston's "Big Six" lymphatic framework to intelligent movement and sequencing
-
How to use techniques including percussion, oscillation, isometrics and self-massage to explore lymphatic function within a yoga practice
-
How the vagus nerve communicates between the brain and body, and what it really means to support autonomic regulation
-
How breathing, movement, posture and internal sensation influence nervous system responses, including the role of interoception and cardiac vagal tone
-
How to distinguish established physiology from popular myths about the vagus nerve, lymphatic drainage and nervous system regulation
-
How pregnancy changes the body, including the core, pelvic floor, breathing mechanics and movement considerations across each trimester
-
How to adapt yoga practices for pregnant students in general classes, understanding important precautions, contraindications and the limits of your scope
-
How to understand postnatal recovery, including diastasis recti, pelvic health, rebuilding strength and common postnatal considerations
-
How to bring these three areas of anatomy together to create intelligent, accessible and evidence-informed classes that support a wider range of students
"This isn't just anatomy; it’s a deep dive into the body’s inner workings that has completely transformed how I cue and care for my students and also how i take care of my own body!"
KHALA
"What I love about this training is how it makes complex anatomy feel so accessible and relevant. The lymphatic system, vagus nerve and pre and postnatal anatomy are all areas I wanted to understand more deeply, and I've come away with so many practical insights I can use in my teaching. It really has changed the way I think about the body.”
