What is this course?
This yoga anatomy certification course is created and taught by international anatomy expert Julian Baker. In this unique course, Julian explains anatomy & physiology with the help of dissection videos and imagery. Specially designed for yoga teachers, this 25-hour online course covers in-depth details of anatomy and physiology relevant to yoga practice and teaching.
What is unique about this course?
Anatomy is the study of the body's structures, mainly the names of the individual parts. Even though this subject is hundreds of years old and was designed for medical students, today it has become essential for anyone working with physical movement or therapy, including yoga teachers.
Its downfall is that it concentrates on parts of the body and rarely brings these parts together to consider how they relate. As a result we often find a gap in understanding the impact of how anatomical structures are joined, practically and functionally. While we all know instinctively that the body is a joined-up structure, a clear model is lacking. In this course we bypass that limitation and learn how the body parts connect and affect movement.
In addition, studying anatomy alone will often exclude an understanding of some of the vital physiology on how the body experiences movement, pain, touch and other sensations and how information is interpreted in the various systems of the body. In this remarkable training, you will see how tissues hang together in the body, how they blend into each other and how much of what we understand can be extended and adapted to our yoga practice.
Is This Course For You?
If any of the above questions resonate with you, keep on reading!
In this remarkable course, Julian introduces the process of human dissection and builds an incredible visual journey into every aspect of human anatomy and movement. Along the way, he brings in the science behind the things we experience daily and eliminates the myths that have sprung up around many subjects over the years.
Julian Baker is a manual therapist with over 30 years of experience teaching bodywork and has been running dissection classes for manual and movement therapists since 2007. He found that the actual anatomy he saw in the dissection room was entirely unlike the trimmed model in anatomy books.
This yoga anatomy training for teachers is presented from the perspective of a highly experienced manual and movement therapist. Julian clearly explains how and what we see in the dissection sessions. He goes deep into understanding movement and touch with relevance to yoga and breathing practices.
All the sessions will use human dissection to illustrate and show the nature of the tissue we discuss. While dissection videos and pictures are easy to come by, the dissections performed by Julian Baker are incredibly unique.
Bringing together his skill as an assessor of human movement, gathered from three decades of teaching and practice with his intricate anatomical dissecting approach, he explains everything from the principles of therapeutic practice while still rooted in science and evidence-based anatomy.

Arhanta online trainings
In 2017 we decided to provide online versions of our yoga teacher training as we were getting requests from people who could not travel to our ashrams.
I was intrigued by the outcome, so we created this online version to see where the virtual journey would take us. When we announced it on social media, we were bombarded with negative comments; some believed it was impossible to learn yoga online.
The outcome surprised us all. Within the first six months, more than a thousand students had already enrolled in our online training program.
Hundreds of five-star reviews gave us confidence, and regular feedback helped us refine the online course to make it entirely user-friendly, with added value for our students.

Yoga Anatomy Training Overview
MODULE 1
In this module, we will look at how not one thing can be labeled as fascia and examine the areas where different fibrous accumulations become varied types of fascia and other connective tissue.
The science of the extracellular matrix, the human form's fluid components, and the relationships of this deep fascial and other tissues are explained.
We will look at the endocrine system and how signals are transmitted around the body and consider the importance of discriminating between cause and association. We consider what a stretch is and the impact that it really has on the body and whether we can cause the fascia to be changed or released.
In this module, we tour the viscera and the different structures and examine how they are held in a physical space, influenced dramatically by movement.
We will also understand the pain responses and the mechanisms of how sensory information gets translated, interpreted and returned to the body.
Introduction | Endocrine System |
What and Where is Fascia | Inflammation |
Types of Connective Tissue | Pain |
Skin | Stretch, Stiffness, Stability, Mobility |
Superficial Fascia | Touch and Fascial Release |
Cause and Association | Viscera Part One |
Extra Cellular Matrix | Viscera Part Two Omentum |
Deep Fascia | Viscera Part Three |
Fascia in movement | Cell |
MODULE 2
In module two, we consider the technical aspects of how information travels seamlessly through the body and the role of action potentials in more detail. Understanding the mechanoreceptors and motor units and the type of sensation we are experiencing is vital in ensuring we respond appropriately to input. We will examine the various receptors that adapt to allow sensations to change moment by moment.
Module two teaches the essential structures such as the psoas, pelvis, the erector spinae muscles, hips and so forth, but looks at them in a way that creates continuity and a cohesive view of the tissues involved. We look at some of the smaller and more intricate tissues in the spine and around the body that rarely get seen or talked about and consider the functional relationships of what we are looking at.
Emotions are a powerful driver of physical movement and expression. We will understand how movement can be significant in emotional repair and expression.
Muscles need power to move them and module two addresses the fascinating aspect of the fuse boxes of the muscles that enable the translation of information into energy and movement.
Introduction | The Psoas |
Action Potentials | The Pelvis and Pelvic Floor |
Mechanoreceptors | The Hips (including obturator internus) |
Motor Units | Temporomandibular Joint - TMJ |
Erector Spinae Muscles | Sternocleido mastoid - SCM |
Ankles and Feet | The Neck, Face and Head |
The Diaphragm | The Emotional Human |
MODULE 3
Lymph plays a vital role in health maintenance and in this section, we will examine the deeper tissues involved in the movement and cleansing of lymph.
Aging cells and neurons can break down and the subject of neuro-degeneration is raised, with an understanding of how conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer’s come to pass.
We will understand the role of the diaphragm in visceral movement and look at the structures that assist it in carrying out its vital role. This module dives deep into core stability and muscle tissue to understand its makeup, function and limitations.
We will study the sacrum & SI joint. We will learn the anatomy and physiology of the lungs in great detail.
Cells and Cell Signalling | Glutes and Hamstrings |
Neurons and Glia | Core Stability |
Neurodegeneration | Sacrum & SI Joint |
Lymphatics | Thoracolumbar Fascia |
Lipid and Lymph Transport | The Thorax |
Joined Up Muscle | The Heart |
Muscles | The Lungs |
Trigger Points and Muscle Knots | Accessory Muscles of Respiration |
