Structural Yoga Teacher Mentoring
Professional development and continuing education for yoga teachers seeking to confidently teach anatomy-based yoga classes.
Structural Yoga Teacher Mentoring at Inner Quest Yoga provides anatomy-based yoga training for certified yoga teachers seeking continuing education and professional growth. These individualized mentoring sessions support teachers in developing themed classes grounded in functional anatomy, thoughtful sequencing, and clear, accessible instruction.
Structural Yoga Teacher Mentoring is designed for yoga teachers who want to expand their skills in teaching body-region-focused classes using Structural Yoga principles. Sessions emphasize translating anatomical understanding into practical, teachable class experiences that help students move with greater awareness, balance, and functional strength.
With more than 25 years of teaching experience, Mary supports teachers in learning how muscles, joints, and fascial relationships influence yoga postures and movement patterns. Mentoring focuses on building purposeful class themes centered around areas such as the spine, hips, shoulders, and core while developing confident cueing and thoughtful posture adaptation for diverse student populations.
This mentoring serves as continuing education for teachers who wish to refine their teaching methodology and broaden their class offerings through anatomy-informed yoga instruction.

Hear from other Yoga Teachers.
Mary helped me understand the body through a structural lens, focusing on how movement relates to joints and safer progressions rather than just pose shapes. Her teaching is direct, thorough, and challenges you to think about how movement actually affects the body in real life. I would recommend working with Mary to any teacher who wants a deeper functional understanding of movement beyond the traditional asana forms.
