The Subtle Body & Energetic Effect 101: Energetic Awareness for Embodied Teaching

Beyond muscle and bone, asana and breath, lies the subtle terrain of yoga—the energetic architecture that informs how we feel, heal, and connect. This continuing education course is an immersive exploration into the subtle body, offering yoga teachers a deeper understanding of energy anatomy and its profound influence on practice and teaching.

In this training, we’ll explore:

• The definition of Prana as the vital life force—and how it flows through and around us
• The subtle body systems: Chakras, Nadis, and the five Vayus (the directional “winds” of energy)
• The Gunas—the three fundamental qualities of nature—and how they shape mood, motivation, and movement
• The Koshas, or layers of the self, as a framework for embodied awareness and holistic cueing
• Practices that support energetic balance—including breathwork, visualization, subtle movement, and meditation

This course bridges ancient wisdom with modern understanding, helping you:

• Recognize energetic imbalances in yourself and your students
• Teach with greater nuance, intuition, and presence
• Layer energetic awareness into your sequencing, theming, and holding of space
• Connect more deeply with your own internal landscape, both on and off the mat

Whether you’re already drawn to the energetic aspects of yoga or you’re new to the subtle body conversation, this course offers accessible, grounded guidance for integrating it all with care and confidence.
