About Yoga Anatomy School
Yoga Anatomy School was founded by Dr. Trish Corley, a US-licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and yoga teacher trainer, to train confident yoga teachers who understand both the science of movement and the art of authentic connection.
Why Yoga Anatomy School Exists
Yoga has the power to transform lives — but that transformation depends on skilled, confident teachers. Many people complete a 200-hour training and still feel uncertain about anatomy, overwhelmed by sequencing, or unsure how to connect with students in meaningful ways. Yoga Anatomy School was founded to change this.
Founded by Dr. Trish Corley
Doctor of Physical Therapy (Physiotherapist) & Yoga Teacher Trainer
Dr. Trish Corley is a US licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, known as a physiotherapist in Europe, and former anatomy professor. She's been training yoga teachers since 2016, when she led her first 200-hour training in Singapore after years of teaching anatomy and assisting trainings in Houston, Texas.
She established New Angle Yoga as a Yoga Alliance registered school specifically to offer Power to Lead, her 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training. As the school evolved, Trish recognized a critical gap in yoga teacher training. Even within well-respected programs, including her advanced training with Baron Baptiste, teachers were learning alignment frameworks without understanding the anatomy behind them. Teachers believed in the cues and felt the results, but couldn't explain why they worked or adapt them for different bodies.
Trish created the Balanced Posture Alignment framework to solve this. It gives teachers the anatomical foundation to understand not just what to cue, but why it works and how to teach it authentically. Her approach combines her medical background with systematic teaching methods: evidence-based anatomy meets heart-centered connection.
Based in Lisbon, Portugal since 2023, Trish trains yoga teachers around the world through in-person and online programs. Students describe her teaching as clear, empowering, and transformational.

Science + Heart
Our teachings are grounded in anatomy and biomechanics while honoring the transformational, human, and heart-felt side of yoga. Movement science meets authentic connection.
Confidence through Clarity
