Beyond Asana Modules

Beyond Asana 1 and 2 are essential modules designed to refine your teaching, deepen your understanding of intelligent sequencing, and make you a clear, confident, and inspiring instructor.

These trainings focus on precise cueing, creative and purposeful sequencing, and crafting powerful class experiences that leave a lasting impact. Through structured frameworks, dynamic exercises, and deep exploration of teaching as both an art and a science, you’ll elevate your ability to guide students with clarity and intention.

Both modules must be completed live, either in person or virtually when a hybrid version is available (see Event Calendar)

Beyond Asana 1

Beyond Asana 1 is a foundational training designed to cultivate clear, effective, and intelligent yoga instruction. This module focuses on refining verbal cueing, deepening understanding of postural alignment, and developing the confidence to teach in real-time. The training begins with a commitment to authenticity and clarity in teaching, reinforced by the Yoga San Kalpa feedback process, which emphasizes objective, real-world feedback without personal preference or justification. Through structured exercises, trainees practice delivering seamless, fluid cues under dynamic conditions, fostering adaptability and presence in the moment.

A key component of the training is the exploration of Tadasana as the blueprint for all postures, and building a deep understanding of Krishnamacharya’s core sequencing of posture. By dissecting alignment principles and applying them to various asanas, trainees learn to recognize stability, engagement, and efficiency in movement. Additional exercises focus on voice projection and clarity, and refining communication, responsiveness, and precision. By integrating these methods, Beyond Asana 1 empowers teachers to move beyond rote instruction, cultivating a deep, embodied understanding of how to guide students with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

Beyond Asana 2

Beyond Asana 2 is designed to elevate your teaching by refining intelligent sequencing, deepening your creative approach, and making you a powerful, memorable, and purpose-driven instructor. This module isn’t just about putting poses together—it’s about crafting experiences that inspire, energize, and transform both you and your students. The goal is to help you teach with confidence and clarity while reigniting your excitement for the art of instruction.

You’ll start by learning how to give and receive direct, impactful feedback through the Yoga San Kalpa method, helping you refine your cueing and presence. Specific exercises break sequencing into key energetic phases, giving you a clear framework for designing classes that feel intentional and seamless. Additional excerises expand your understanding of pose relationships, allowing you to create sequences that flow effortlessly and offer limitless possibilities.

You’ll explore shamanic movement practices that shift your perspective on asana, making it a dynamic expression of energy rather than a rigid series of postures. Yoga as storytelling will show you how to structure a class like a narrative, creating an arc that resonates on an emotional and energetic level. Additonal practices sharpen your ability to cue with precision and presence, ensuring that your words alone can guide students into a rich experience.

By the end of this module, you won’t just know how to teach—you’ll know how to craft classes that inspire, sequences that captivate, and experiences that students remember. With a deeper understanding of momentum, theming, ethics, and the art of teaching workshops, private sessions, and group classes, you’ll leave feeling empowered, creative, and ready to bring your unique voice to the mat.
