Anatomy and Kinesiology for the Intuitive Yoga Teacher
Understand Movement Patterns, Recognize Compensation, Help Clients Out of Pain, Make a Difference Like Never Before
You want to be A really good and effective yoga Therapist
So far your intuition has been your guiding force.
You know what you are doing works, but you aren't sure why. You feel that if you just knew more anatomy and how it applies to pain recovery and healing, you would get even better results.
You want to build your foundational understanding of anatomy, biomechanics and kinesiology so you can better serve your clients.
You Know it is more than knowing names of muscles
While you are still at the beginning stages of your anatomy journey, you know what you want out of an anatomy and movement course. You want a course that:
- • is not so rigid.
- • is more than memorizing stuff
- • helps teachers build confidence
- • develops more and effective & informed ways to communicate with your students
Blending Movement Analysis and Intuition
"To analyze movement takes a combination of formal training in anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, and a solid sense of intuition. While the former is attained though time and diligent practice, the latter is more difficult to master. It requires the practitioner to combine reason with instinct and curiosity. Susi has proved to be an expert at this skill, which makes collaborations with her very rewarding. I can trust her to help my clients find new ways to explore their senses and gain a new connection between the brain, body and spirit. Truly a gifted practitioner and a wonderful person."
- Dave Holmes, Physiotherapist (BScPT), Certified Spinal Manipulation, CAFCI (Acupuncture)
The Intersection of Anatomy and Kinesiology
Anatomy explores the structure. Kinesiology explores the movement.
With a focus on Function, Kinesiology helps bring the Anatomy alive.
The blend of Anatomy and Kinesiology will enable you to:
Example: So often yoga therapists with a beginning understanding of anatomy will look at someone with knee pain and say, "I need to strengthen the vastus medialis" (one of the quadriceps muscles important for knee function).
They begin exercises for this specific muscle, but don't see improvement, or the improvements are only short term. This is because they are focusing only one muscle and are not seeing the whole picture - the whole limb, or the relationship to the pelvis, spine, rib cage or shoulder girdle.
When the yoga therapist combines principles of kinesiology with the anatomical knowledge, they will have a much clearer understanding of what's contributing to the vastus medialis not working as it should. Their clarity on how the body functions will enable them to choose better movements for their students and have better results.

Curriculum:
8 Principles of Anatomy and Asana- When you can apply anatomy to movement and movement to pain reduction, you'll see more clearly what the real problem is. This will improve your ability to choose the techniques or tools for your clients.
-
- The Shoulders and Hips are Co-Dependent
- There is a strong myofascial connection between your shoulders and hips. Often shoulder work provides the relief that is felt in the hips or SI joints, and the reverse is true too. By understanding these relationships you will see more clearly how many hip movements actually improve your shoulder girdle function and visa versa.
- Your Feet Are Your Foundation But Only When Connected to What's Above
- Your feet punctuate your posture and are influenced by how your pelvis functions. By recognizing the kinetic chain between the hips and feet you will accelerate how your feet provide a good foundation.
-
- Building a Responsive Core
- So often people are told to brace. While this isn't inherently wrong, it can lead to breath holding and gripping. And neither breath holding nor gripping are effective core stabilizing techniques. The aim is to build a core that is more like a water balloon than a iron balloon.
- Yoga Therapy Integrating with Traditional Rehabilitation
- We are the dawn of a new age where we can take the best of the therapeutic aspects of yoga and blend it with the best of traditional concepts of rehabilitation and make for a fully integrated model of recovery.
- The Turtle Wins
- How do you help your client go at a pace so that they actually recover? By understanding the nature of movement, recovery, and incremental gains. You will amaze yourself (if you allow it) with how fast recovery can happen when you are slow, deliberate and conscientious.
YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE ONE YEAR ACCESS TO SUSI'S RESOURCE LIBRARY SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO INTEGRATE CONCEPTS, ASK QUESTIONS, AND GROW YOUR SKILL.

meet Susi Hately, Your Instructor
I have a BSC. Kinesiology and have been helping people reduce and eradicate pain for 25 years. I have also been a bridge between the medical world and yoga. Two of my programs have been studied at the University of Calgary and both showed benefit for supporting people and their wellbeing. I am also the best selling author of 10 books and yoga video series, including Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries.
I have been training teachers and health professionals in yoga therapy since 2001 and am the director and lead teacher of the highly successful C-IAYT Accredited Functional Synergy Yoga Therapy Program.
You can count on my expertise and experience. In addition to my IAYT program, I have appeared as a guest expert at Trent University, on Global TV, CTV, and in the Globe and Mail, Thrive Online, Chatelaine, Bride Magazine, Parenting, and Yoga Journal.
As a young student of yoga, I began to combine the ancient practices of yoga with my BSc. Kinesiology at a Vancouver pain clinic. When I continued to encounter individuals, including yoga instructors, who accepted that their pain was “normal”, I began to explore how yoga was being taught and practiced. By designing therapy programs that utilized sound anatomical principles of kinesiology with the time-honoured practices of gentle yoga, I have enabled people to find pain relief, feel good, and rediscover vitality in their lives.
