Join for more information!
Enter a new world of teaching that will elevate your confidence & give you the tools you need to help your students with injuries.Â
 Most yoga teacher trainings skip over the essentials:
- Practical anatomy for yoga teachers
- Understanding the nervous system in yoga
- Applying pain science in yoga practice
- Sequencing that supports both safety and recovery
Without these skills, it’s common to feel unqualified & unsure when a student says, “I have an injury.” Many teachers fall back on vague cues like “just listen to your body,” which can leave students feeling unsupported and teachers lacking confidence.
You walk away knowing how to put it all together!
 This mentorship isn’t about memorizing muscles or collecting more information. It’s about outcomes. By the end, you will:
- Teach with confidence when students show up with pain or injury
- Design intelligent & intentional yoga sequences that keep students safe and engaged
- Offer modifications on the spot without disrupting the flow of class
- Support the nervous system to help students manage stress and anxiety
- Build trust and credibility so students know they’re in good hands with you

Teacher Experiences:
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!
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
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.
Â
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.
Program Disclaimer
I understand that yoga includes physical movement, breathwork, meditation, and stretching techniques. As is the case with all physical activity, I understand that the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort I will listen to my body, adjust or change the posture, and inform and seek assistance from my instructor.
I know that yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. I also know that all suggestions made by Monica Bright are just suggestions and I am responsible for doing my own research and consulting a doctor before starting any new regimens, including yoga and medicinal herbs. I understand that yoga is not safe under certain medical conditions and take full responsibility for making the informed decision to practice yoga. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Monica Bright.
