online course
a new yoga
I developed this online course with a dual purpose. Firstly, it serves as a platform to share his distinctive approach to yoga, offering participants an opportunity to explore this unique, safe and fun perspective. Secondly, the course is tailored specifically for individuals who are relatively new to yoga, aiming to empower them to establish an intelligent and secure practice right from the outset.
While this course isn’t exclusively designed for beginners, its content serves as an introduction to a markedly distinct approach to yoga compared to mainstream practices. If you’ve been practicing yoga for some time, or even completed a teacher training program, rest assured that this course will challenge your existing belief systems and provide you with an alternative viewpoint. This presents a significant opportunity for personal growth.
For current or aspiring yoga instructors, it’s worth noting that this course is accredited for 25 continuing education hours by Yoga Alliance through their YECP program. Upon successful completion of the course content and assessment, participants will receive a certificate.
This course is structured into six modules, including lectures, practice videos and the accompanying e-Book “A new yoga”.

Module 4 | The human condition
Learning outcomes for this module
- To achieve a safer, more energetic and enjoyable practice, we have to learn the basics of human anatomy and physiology. If we don’t have this understanding, we leave ourselves liable for injury and potential physical degeneration.
- In this module you will gain a functional knowledge of the different main joint complexes of the body.
- This module will also reinforce the reasons for relaxing more, breathing well, and practising in the way that is outlined throughout this course.
Module 5 | A take-home practice
Learning outcomes for this module
- Here, you will discover a handful of primary yoga sequences you can take home and make a part of your daily practice.
- We will cover joint movements, spinal movements and two variations for a cool-down sequence—everything you need to have a well-rounded, short and simple practice. These sequences are designed to prepare the body for more strenuous work, maybe like your regular practice, and to help guide your relaxation at the end.
Module 6 | Putting it all together
Learning outcomes for this module
- Here, we’ll put all of these ideas together and talk about how we can take the lessons from this course offline and into the real world.
- In learning how to apply these lessons away from yoga, we can hopefully realise the potential of a healthier, more flexible body, more liveable breath, and some mental tracks to keep us happy and calm into the future.
