Deepen your personal practice. Strengthen your teaching. Embody the energetics of advanced asana with confidence and clarity.
For teachers & yogis.
A 10-Workshop Immersion for Yoga Teachers
This self-paced online series is for yoga teachers ready to deepen their relationship with advanced postures—through both intelligent physical preparation and intentional energetic awareness.
Whether you’re refining your own practice or learning how to safely and skillfully teach these asanas to others, this course will support you in stepping into greater embodiment, strength, and clarity.
This isn’t just about the shapes—it’s about the energetic integrity behind them.

Each workshop includes both practice and teaching methodology components, including alignment breakdowns, drills, cueing tips, wall work, and intelligent progressions.

- How to teach from embodied experience, not just alignment cues
“Gem speaks so authentically about all the different ways we connect with each pose.
Gem’s teachings leave me feeling much stronger than I think I am, and I’ve discovered that asana offer ways to access the self beyond simply physical, but energetic and mental as well.”
- Alice Rees
What Makes This Series Different?
This is more than just a breakdown of “how to do the pose.”
It’s a journey into understanding why and when we introduce advanced asana—how to prepare the body and mind for challenge, and how to offer these postures from a place of deep respect and alignment.
You’ll be guided with compassion, depth, and clarity—grounded in yogic wisdom, anatomical intelligence, and lived experience.
