The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School: 30-Hour Yoga Anatomy & Physiology Module

Course program

The 30-Hour Yoga Anatomy & Physiology Module by The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School is a self-paced online course exploring the bones, muscles, and tissues of the human body and how they relate to yoga postures and practice. It is one of the building blocks of the school’s 200HR Online YTT Pathway and can also be taken on its own.

This module is designed for yoga and movement teachers who want to refresh or deepen their anatomical knowledge so they can deliver safer, more effective classes. It also suits practitioners following The Peaceful Warriors 200HR Online YTT Pathway and anyone looking to better understand the mechanics of their own body and personal practice.

The curriculum is built around eight 2-hour video masterclasses that walk through the body system by system. You’ll study the skeletal system, the muscular system, the cardiopulmonary system, and the neuro system, then bring it all together by examining joints in relation to asana.

Alongside the masterclasses, the module includes a 108-page illustrated anatomy manual that serves as the written companion to the videos, plus a one-hour FAQ recording with senior lead teacher Sean Goldberg that addresses the most common questions students have as they work through the material. The focus throughout is practical: building the anatomical knowledge, understanding, and awareness needed to teach yoga safely and to keep your own practice beneficial rather than injury-prone.

The module is led by Sean Goldberg, a registered physiotherapist in Australia who holds a BSc in Physiotherapy and is an RYT 500. Sean has taught on yoga teacher trainings in Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, Bali, and Australia, and brings a clinical movement background together with classical Hatha Yoga and meditation experience to his teaching of anatomy.

The format is fully self-paced and 100% online and on-demand. You receive immediate access to all material on purchase and can move through the masterclasses, manual, and FAQ recording at your own pace, with lifetime access to the course content. The module includes module assignments and one-to-one feedback from Sean Goldberg, plus access to The Peaceful Warriors virtual community of students, graduates, and teachers.

    Your online program is so so so beautifully done! I have learned so many things about yoga and everything linked to it, but mostly, I have learned a huge lot about myself. A wonderful little discovery of who I am and to what me I am going towards. Just wonderful. I am very grateful for this experience and if possible.. with Corona and everything, I will be planning to visit you as soon as possible, as I want to get to know the people that lead me trough all of this and provided wonderful guidance!

    I'd like to take the time to extend my deepest gratitude to ALL of the members of The Peaceful Warrior team. I am feeling extremely blessed to have worked with such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate group of people. Bente and Maria, I can tell how much heart and soul went into creating this teacher training and I have learned SO much from you both. You've created an incredibly holistic program and selected amazing teachers who each have their own unique and important set of skills to bring to the table.

    You guys provided such a well rounded beautiful course. The idea of an online YTT scared me at the beginning but I must say that it has absolutely exceeded all expectations. You have delivered such high quality material, your choice of teachers has been immaculate and the general structure of the course was truly on point. Your knowledge and passion to share yoga are so inspiring and even though I didn't do the training with teaching in mind, I will for sure end up teaching one way or the other.

    This was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The Peaceful Warriors have shared their love, light, and knowledge with so many people in Bali and now they have offered it online for students?! AMAZING! I am proud to say that I am a Peaceful Warrior graduate and I cannot wait to go back to their training to attend the 300HR YTT. Every teacher that is part of the Peaceful Warrior family brings such phenomenal knowledge to the table.
