Teaching Students w/ Injuries
A Comprehensive Approach to Revolutionize your Teaching
 Have you felt that sinking moment when a student walks into class and whispers to you, "Just so you know, I have an injury"… And your mind races: What should I change? Can they still do this flow? What if I make it worse?
I’ve been there too. That flash of hesitation doesn’t mean you’re unprepared, it means deep down you care.
This mentorship was created for teachers who refuse to freeze in that moment.
For the ones who want to walk into class grounded, confident, and ready to guide every student, including those navigating pain.
Teaching students with injuries isn’t about memorizing modifications.
It’s about understanding the conversation between body and nervous system, so you can teach with clarity and compassion instead of fear.
Most yoga teacher trainings skip over the essentials...
They teach alignment but not awareness.
They tell us to avoid pain but not how to listen to it.
You’ve probably seen it: the student holding their breath, clenching their jaw, eyes flickering between effort and fear. You can feel their story in motion, yet no one taught you what to do next.
This mentorship bridges that gap.
It’s where evidence-based anatomy meets nervous-system intelligence and the lived wisdom of yoga.
So you can stop guessing, stop doubting, and start teaching from grounded expertise.
You walk away knowing how to put it all together!
 This mentorship isn’t another information dump. It’s a transformation. By the end of our time together, you'll learn to:
-
Recognize how pain and injury influence both the body and the nervous system
-
Support the student’s lived experience with empathy instead of “fixing”
-
Design sequences that are strong yet adaptable, inclusive, and safe
-
Offer modifications that empower rather than isolate
-
Guide recovery practices that restore trust and connection
And more importantly, you’ll embody the role of …
   *A teacher who creates safety in every class
   *A teacher who doesn’t freeze when a student with pain comes to class
   *A teacher who leads from knowledge, presence, and compassion
Anatomy Refresh
- Reconnect with anatomy in a way that’s real, not textbook. You’ll revisit the key systems and structures through movement, touch, and observation, so your understanding of the body feels alive and relevant to your classes again.
Understanding Pain
- Pain isn’t a problem to solve, it’s an experience to understand. You’ll learn how pain actually works, why it doesn’t always mean damage, and how to teach from a place of curiosity and care instead of fear or correction.
The Nervous System
- Discover how stress, safety, and movement intertwine. Explore regulation, functional freeze, and how the body’s protective responses show up on the mat, so you can recognize and respond with steadiness and compassion. We'll go beyond the understanding of the parasympathetic & sympathetic sides of the NS.
Injuries
- Go beyond “avoid this pose” advice. You’ll unpack what’s actually happening in common injuries, how healing unfolds, and how to teach with awareness instead of avoidance.
- Practical, step-by-step formula for talking with students, get more information from them, and how to work with them and their healthcare professionals.
Sequencing
- Design classes that meet your students where they are. You’ll learn to build sequences that adapt to a range of needs (strong but supportive, structured but fluid), so no one feels left behind.
Recovery Strategies
- Integrate practices that help the body and nervous system settle. You’ll explore restorative, yin, and Yoga Nidra-inspired tools that encourage deep rest and healing, not just for your students, but for you, as well.
- Learn how to shift at a moment's notice and feel confident in your class plan. Plus, learn ways to incorporate a number of recovery strategies while being mindful of the injury and pain levels. Â

 Ready to Teach with Confidence and Compassion?
You don’t need to know everything about injuries to support your students, you just need to begin with understanding.
This mentorship was created for yoga teachers who care deeply about their students but sometimes feel unsure of what to do when a student w/ pain or injury come to class. It’s for the teacher who’s ready to replace hesitation with confidence, and to lead from both knowledge and empathy.
By the end, you’ll not only understand pain, anatomy, and the nervous system, you’ll understand how to read your students’ bodies in real time, respond with clarity, and create classes that feel safe, inclusive, and deeply healing.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I wish someone had taught me this in my 200-hour training,” then you’re exactly where you need to be.

Teacher Experiences:
Carolyn
I've been wanting to learn more about about injuries because I freeze anytime an injured student comes to class. I found Monica online and I'm so glad I did. I love giving assists in class and have learned which ones might not be that great for an injured student.Â
Dana
Monica, you have taught me information that I've been searching for for so many years. The way you explain concepts makes sense & I can easily apply it when I'm teaching. I have enjoyed working with you so much!
Jocelyn
I had no idea where to start but I knew I wanted to learn more about anatomy. Then I started working with Monica and she has given me clear direction and now I feel more confident when I'm learning more anatomy. She taught me how to teach myself and supported me whenever I felt unsure or confused.
Marjorie
Terresa
I feel supported to ask questions whenever I need to during our one-on-one sessions. I feel heard. Also, through the Slack platform, I can easily reach out to Monica with questions.
