Understanding the Body, Expanding the Practice

Patrick Beach is back at Yoga on the Move in Berlin! Join him for a 4-day in-person training that invites you to deepen your relationship with movement, observation, and embodied teaching.

Created for yoga teachers and committed practitioners, this training weaves together 25h in-person and 25h online content on asana, vinyasa, functional movement, and student-centered adjustments, offering a fresh way of seeing - and responding to - the body in front of you.

Through a balance of theory, daily practice, and hands-on application, you’ll explore how postures can be shaped to meet individual needs. The focus moves away from rigid alignment and toward connection, awareness, and intelligent choice, creating space for authentic expression and growth in both teaching and personal practice.

How Will You Learn to Read the Body?

Daily Practice & Reflection

Begin each day with long-form asana, pranayama, meditation, and vinyasa practice. These sessions invite you to fully embody the role of both student and teacher - sensing, observing, and reflecting through direct experience.

Lecture & Demonstration

Dive into asana mechanics, functional movement principles, and yoga anatomy to better understand how postures look, feel, and support different bodies.

Observation & Assessment

Learn to recognize posture and movement patterns, identify common challenges, and understand how to offer meaningful support to different bodies using verbal cues, props, and hands-on techniques.

Practical Application

Small-group exercises allow you to build confidence in adjustments, personalized teaching approaches, and intelligent sequencing - translating theory directly into practice.

Real-Time Feedback

Receive immediate, constructive feedback to refine your skills, expand your teaching toolkit, and grow confidence in your ability to support diverse students.

Digital Support

Enjoy 6 months of online access to 25 hours of course material for continued study and integration. The digital course opens on September 1, 2026.
