Sessions to a felt difference.

Most people notice their body responding differently within the first three sessions. By session eight, the shift is undeniable.

Yoga teachers spend years learning alignment, sequencing, anatomy and cueing.

But there is another piece that often gets overlooked:

Does the teacher, or their students, actually have the strength capacity to express the movement they're being asked to perform?

I teach yoga teachers how to build that capacity.

Through live, practical strength education, I help teachers understand the physical demands behind asana, identify common strength limitations, and develop the foundations needed for stronger, more sustainable practice.

Guest Workshops for Yoga Teacher Trainings

Bring a specialist strength session into your teacher-training program, advanced teacher education or studio community.

Chaturanga: Building the Foundation

A practical deep dive into one of the most commonly taught, and commonly misunderstood, asanas in Vinyasa yoga.

We explore:

• The strength demands of Chaturanga

• Shoulder, upper-body and core contribution

• Common compensation patterns

• How to recognize where strength is actually limiting the movement

• Progressive exercises to build the required capacity

• How to cue with greater clarity and purpose

• How to modify and regress without simply removing the strength demand

The goal isn't to find one "perfect" Chaturanga.

It's to understand what the movement requires, why someone may struggle with it, and how to progressively build the capacity to perform it well.

Strength For Asana

Building the strength capacity behind your practice

A deeper live training for yoga teachers who want to understand strength beyond individual alignment cues.

Strength For Asana explores the physical capacities that underpin challenging asana, including upper-body strength, core control, stability and load tolerance.

Teachers learn to:

• Assess where strength may be limiting an asana

• Understand the relationship between strength and movement quality

• Build capacity progressively rather than relying only on alignment corrections

• Use strength exercises that directly support yoga practice

• Apply strength principles to their own practice and teaching

This is designed for teachers who want to go beyond "where should the body be?" and ask:

"Does the body have the capacity to get there?"

Who These Trainings
Are For?

These sessions are particularly suited to yoga teachers who:

• Teach Vinyasa or physically demanding asana

• Have completed a 200- or 300-hour teacher training

• Care deeply about alignment and movement quality

• Want a stronger understanding of anatomy and biomechanics

• Notice recurring strength limitations in themselves or their students

• Want practical tools rather than more theoretical anatomy

• Are interested in building stronger, more capable yoga bodies

The sessions can be adapted for teacher-training cohorts, advanced teacher groups, studio communities and continuing education programs.

Persistent stiffness & tightness

Tight hips, a stiff back, and restricted shoulders that you carry from your desk into your evenings, and wake up with the next morning. It accumulates gradually until it becomes your normal.

Posture that collapses under pressure

You know you should sit straighter. But the muscles that hold posture have weakened from underuse. No amount of reminding yourself will fix what needs to be rebuilt.

Energy that disappears by afternoon

Sitting in a compressed, poorly aligned body is genuinely exhausting. Add shallow breathing and a nervous system on low-grade overdrive, and the afternoon crash is almost inevitable.

Why Strength?

Yoga teachers are often exceptionally good at observing alignment.

But alignment is only part of the equation.

A teacher can understand exactly where the shoulders, spine and pelvis should be—and still lack the strength, control or capacity to hold that position under load.

That is where strength training becomes useful.

Strength isn't separate from yoga practice. It can be one of the things that makes a more capable practice possible.

My work sits at the intersection of yoga practice and strength training, translating strength principles into movements and capacities that matter to yoga teachers.

Bring Strength Education to Your Teacher Community

If you're a yoga school founder, teacher-training director or studio owner and you'd like to explore a guest workshop for your teachers, I'd love to hear from you.

We can discuss your current curriculum, where you see your teachers needing more support, and whether a strength-focused session would complement your program.

What changes when
you do the work.

Less Compression More Ease

Your body feels lighter and less compressed while sitting. The heaviness that used to build through the day starts to lift.

Posture that holds itself

Postural fatigue appears later, and when it does, you notice and self-correct. The body has learned a new baseline.

Less stiffness by evening. More clarity in the afternoon. A workday that leaves you tired but not depleted.

Energy that lasts

Body awareness that stays

You develop a genuine understanding of how your body moves, and what it needs. The practice becomes self-sustaining.

A practice to continue

You leave with a 35-40 minute movement practice you can maintain independently- not a dependency, but a foundation.
