The Vinyasa, Sequencing & Subtle Body online course covers the essentials of how to safely sequence a vinyasa class, and takes this knowledge further by giving you the insights necessary to sequence in accord with the more esoteric and energetic principles that fuel yoga’s transformational power. Through learning the subtle anatomy (including in-depth work with the chakras and koshas) you gain an experiential understanding of the deeper layers of the body that will fundamentally shift how you harness the power of asana practice.

In this module, you learn:

  • How to creatively sequence a class that is safe, engaging, and leaves your students wanting more
  • How to unlock the secrets of the energetic body and how to sequence your classes to optimize the flow of internal energy and turn your asana practice into a transformative experience
  • The ancient tools of: Prana (breath), Pranayama (the movement of breath) and Bandhas (sacred energetic locks) and how to teach them effectively
  • The sacred philosophy of Maya (great illusion) and the Koshas (layers of the body) and how to use them to uncover the wisdom of the body
  • How to work with, access and balance each one of the Chakras: The Seven Sacred Energy Centers
  • Revolutionary sequences that give you a leg up as you learn to integrate all these tools and create your own exciting classes

This comprehensive continuing education course features video and written content covering all aspects of anatomy for yoga, so that you hone and refine your skills as a practitioner and teacher.

Upon successful completion, you receive a certificate saying you have demonstrated proficiency in the skills learned throughout this module. This course counts as 45 continuing education credits for The Kaivalya Yoga Method.

Nope! This course is on an extraordinarily user-friendly platform that you gain direct access to upon registration. You get a unique log-in that allows you access to the course at any time, and from any internet-ready device. The videos do stream, so a good internet connection is recommended.
Alanna, what makes you qualified to lead this course?
My background in yoga spans nearly two decades, and I have been leading teacher trainings for 15 years. In 2011, I founded The Kaivalya Yoga Method, and in 2015, I launched the 500 hour online yoga certification program. I have written three books on the field of yoga: Myths of the Asanas, Sacred Sound and Yoga Beyond the Mat. I also have a Ph.D. focused on this material and my expertise includes mythology, alchemy, depth psychology and yoga. I integrate all these into my understanding of yoga to develop a complete, integrative approach that brings the ancient practice into modern life. Really, though, the thing that qualifies me the most is the extensive amount of trial and error I have been through in my own personal practice over the years. I’d like to save you the time and effort and help you create immediate tools for lasting spiritual connection and transformation...right now.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! I know how hard it is to shell out a chunk of dough, and I want to make this possible for you. You have the option to pay in full for a slightly reduced price, or make a payment in two monthly installments. Both of these options are available to you upon checkout.
Who is this course right for?
This course is right for any yoga practitioner who wants to learn about anatomy to understand their body, asana, and their practice better. It is also ideal for yoga instructors looking for a thorough education in anatomy to increase anatomical fluency, safety, and therapeutic applications of anatomy in their classroom.
Does this course certify me to be a yoga teacher?
No. This course does not certify you to be a yoga instructor, nor does it count towards certification. This course is for continuing education purposes only. If you would like to be certified at the 200, 300, or 500 hour level, please join the full program by visiting: http://onlineteachertraining.yoga
