Course program

The 30 Hour Yoga Anatomy Course by Siddhi Yoga is a Yoga Alliance YACEP-accredited continuing education program in yoga anatomy and physiology. Led by Dr. Sumit Sharma, it focuses on how each major body system functions during yoga practice and how this knowledge supports safer alignment, injury prevention, and more confident teaching.

This course suits practitioners who want a deeper understanding of how the body works in asana, and yoga teachers who want sharper alignment cues, modifications, and anatomy-informed sequencing. No formal prerequisite is stated, but the curriculum and YACEP CE credit are most useful to those with an existing yoga practice or teaching credential.

The curriculum is organised around the body’s major systems and how each one shapes a yoga practice. You’ll work through the structure and function of cells, tissues, and the musculoskeletal system, then move into the nervous and endocrine systems, the circulatory and respiratory systems, the digestive and excretory systems, and the lymphatic and reproductive systems.

Alongside the systems-based study, the course breaks down asanas through an anatomical lens — looking at body alignment principles, how different systems work together during yoga movements, and how body mechanics influence energy flow and prana. Each module connects anatomical knowledge to practical application, so you can both refine your own postures and explain the anatomy of a pose to your students. Materials are delivered through 50 video lessons supported by a digital training manual and presentations.

The course is taught by Dr. Sumit Sharma, Siddhi Yoga’s anatomy and physiology lead, whose teaching covers dynamic anatomy and physiology, yoga therapy, posture correction, asana safety, and injury prevention. Siddhi Yoga has operated since 2013 and has trained graduates across more than 125 countries.

The course is delivered in a hybrid format: 30 hours of self-paced video lessons that you can start immediately, combined with weekly live Zoom classes. The cheapest tier provides 6 months of course access plus 6 months of Zoom classes; a higher tier offers lifetime course access with 12 months of Zoom classes. All students receive a digital manual, slide presentations, mentoring support, and access to an online student community, backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee.
