So this weekend at Teacher Training, we learned the complicated structure that is the vertebral column, the spine, and the pelvis 🦴. And I guess the most important takeaway is to remember that what we’re looking at is a process of evolution, rather than something that we often assume was designed for purpose. Shifting that perspective helps us understand why this structure fails so often — and so miserably.
The spine is complicated… but it can be simplistic. And in order to help you understand, I’m running a CPD course this coming Saturday 📚. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development — it’s for yoga teachers who want to deepen their understanding of all things yoga 🧘🏽♂️. In this one-day CPD, you’ll learn everything I feel you really need to know to become a more confident teacher — and to make sure you’re guiding students in the right way, rather than (accidentally) causing harm, which can happen even with the best of intentions.
That said, the course is also open to non-yoga teachers — anyone who’s dealing with lower back pain, or who has a history of it, and wants to make sure the yoga they’re doing isn’t going to trigger old injuries or aggravate what’s already there 💥.

If your spine’s been giving you grief — or if you’re teaching others how to move theirs — this might be the course that puts things back into place… literally and metaphorically 😉
