Continuing Education for Yoga Teachers
Develop greater confidence, clarity, and insight in your practice, your teaching, and the way you understand the bodies and minds in front of you.
Zenyasa Academy offers continuing education in anatomy and movement, yoga philosophy, and teaching methodology. Courses are designed to help you understand the material rather than simply memorize it—and to use what you learn in your own practice and with the students you teach.

Education That Changes the Way You Teach
Learning becomes powerful when it moves beyond memorization and starts shaping the way you observe, question, understand, and respond.
At Zenyasa Academy, courses are designed to make complex subjects approachable, practical, and relevant to the real work of teaching yoga.
Good teaching often begins with a pause: looking more closely, asking better questions, noticing patterns, and thinking through what you’re seeing in the person in front of you.
Whether you’re studying anatomy, adapting practices for different bodies and abilities, exploring yoga philosophy, or refining your teaching methodology, the emphasis is on deepening your understanding and then turning that understanding into skillful, responsive teaching.
HOW YOU'LL LEARN
Zenyasa Academy courses are built around three steps: understand the material, connect it to experience, and put it to use.
UNDERSTAND
Learn the concepts, language, and principles behind the subject—not just the facts to memorize.
INTEGRATE
Connect what you study with what you experience in your own body, practice, and teaching.
APPLY
Use what you’ve learned to observe more carefully and make better choices when responding to your students.
FEATURED COURSE:
ASFYT 101 – Foundations of Functional Anatomy & Kinesiology for Yoga Teachers
Learn to observe, describe, and reason through human movement with greater clarity and confidence.
ASFYT 101 is the foundational course in the Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers curriculum. It introduces the language and principles you’ll use throughout the series, including anatomical terminology, joint structure and movement, planes of motion, basic biomechanics, and a practical framework for observing the body in motion.
Rather than memorizing disconnected facts, you’ll learn to recognize patterns, reason through movement, and build a functional understanding you can apply directly to your yoga teaching.

From Past Students
For years, teachers and movement professionals have described these courses as transformative—not because they simply learned more facts, but because they began to see bodies, movement, and teaching with greater clarity and confidence.
“This course gave me so many tools that I could immediately use in my group classes and private sessions. Jason is skilled at teaching how to step back, pause, and ask why. I feel like my sequences are more thoughtful, mindful and educational than ever before.”
Jess Blake
Yoga Teacher
“This has been the most beneficial course I have ever done. I now feel confident in working with clients who have injuries, and have a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the body as a whole. I highly recommend this course for anyone in the movement industry.”
Sarah Treadwell
Yoga & Pilates Teacher
“The ASFYT course had been recommended to me by several excellent yoga teachers, but there’s no way anyone could’ve conveyed to me what turned out to be one of the best training courses that I’ve ever attended. I loved it, and learned more than I could have ever imagined.”
