Yoga Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics (7 hrs)
Yoga Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics
7 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Dr. Constance Bradley, L.Ac., PhD
A sound understanding of anatomy and movement helps yoga professionals teach with greater clarity, precision, and confidence.
Yoga Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics connects the science of the human body with the practical demands of yoga practice. Presented by Dr. Constance Bradley, the course explains how anatomical structures, physiological systems, and biomechanical principles influence movement, alignment, stability, and safe progression.
Course Overview
This comprehensive online course is designed for yoga teachers, practitioners, movement professionals, and therapists who want to develop a more anatomically informed approach to practice and instruction.
Across 4.5 hours of expert-led video classes, Dr. Bradley breaks complex concepts into clear and clinically relevant lessons. Participants explore the structure and function of the human body, the mechanics that underpin common yoga movements, and the ways in which individual anatomy can influence alignment and movement choices.
A fully illustrated 180-page course text supports the video instruction with detailed explanations, diagrams, and reference material that can be revisited throughout your practice or teaching career.
