Yoga Anatomy

Join Jessie Davies, owner of Freebird Yoga and creator/lead of the Freebird Yoga Academy, for an epic immersive day demystifying anatomy!

We get it - Anatomy can feel like another language [bc it is ]

So let’s unpack and simplify how the physical body works as a whole through lecture, movement and inquiry. The goal: you feel confident and competent in your own body, on your own mat and for the teachers...in front of a room full of beautifully unique bodies!

Anchor + Reach

Hey Yoga Teachers! Discover [or rediscover] the art of hands-on assisting and body reading through our Anchor + Flow course with Jessie Davies and Shea McGill!

“I realized my love for assisting students when my two worlds collided - a 15 year career as a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Register Yoga Teacher. As I began teaching classes where no two bodies were the same - I noticed how sometimes the generic verbal cue just didn’t work for everyone. I quickly discovered how impactful an intentional assist could be for a student to access a posture BUT ALSO their body.” - Jessie

Simply put: This course was designed to empower yoga teachers to empower their students through intentional touch and body reading.
