About Yoga Anatomy School
Training confident yoga teachers who understand both the science of movement and the art of authentic connection.
Yoga Anatomy School combines evidence-based anatomy with transformational teaching practices—giving teachers systematic frameworks to teach safely, effectively, and from the heart.
Why Yoga Anatomy School Exists
Yoga has the power to transform lives—but only when teachers feel confident guiding others safely and authentically.
Many people dream of becoming yoga teachers but worry they won't know enough. Others complete their 200-hour training and still feel unprepared—uncertain about anatomy, overwhelmed by vinyasa sequencing, unsure how to connect with students in meaningful ways.
Yoga Anatomy School was founded to change that.
Founded by Dr. Trish Corley, the school trains vinyasa yoga teachers who understand both the science of how the body moves and the heart of what makes yoga transformational. Through systematic frameworks grounded in anatomy and biomechanics, combined with practices that develop authentic teaching voice, students learn to guide vinyasa classes with clarity, confidence, and genuine connection.
Whether stepping into a first teacher training or deepening existing skills, Yoga Anatomy School provides the knowledge and the heart to teach vinyasa yoga that truly serves.

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.
