Deeply understand two important but often unexplored areas of yoga; the fascia and energetic anatomy, and the unique relationship these two share.
Myofascial Release, Energetic Anatomy and Yin Yoga
Yoga is so much more than just the asanas, it affects all of our anatomical systems, our state of mind, overall mental health… and so much more.
This course: Myofascial Release, Energetic Anatomy and Yin Yoga, part of our 300 hour advanced yoga teacher training, is designed to deeply explore two important but often unexplored areas of yoga; the fascia and energetic anatomy, and the unique relationship these two share.
Both fascial anatomy and energetic anatomy have a huge impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. This training will break down what fascia is, how it impacts our physical and mental health, and how to use this knowledge to create a rewarding and therapeutic practice for ourselves and our yogis, before exploring yoga’s subtle energy; prana, nadis, chakras and prana vayus and the role of prana in understanding holistic health. We’ll then go on to understand the relationship between movement, myofascial release, energetic anatomy and how we feel.
Expect to graduate with a whole host of options now at your disposal to layer on to your classes, feeling inspired and ready to teach what you’ve learned, and to integrate learnings in to your own practice for your own wellbeing.

Holly Mcfee is the owner of Yoga Hero Ltd. Holly has been practicing yoga since 2010, and teaching since 2013. Holly embarked upon her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training here in Leeds, and after balancing a full time job and teaching yoga for just six months, went full time in to teaching.
In August 2015 Holly opened the Yoga Hero studio in Leeds Dock, and in June 2017 this studio expanded to become one of the largest dedicated yoga spaces in the North of England.
Holly’s experience in opening two busy studios, and years of self-employment, will be shared to help trainees build a thriving yoga business, should you wish to.
Holly is an experienced Ashtanga, Rocket, Vinyasa Flow, Yin and Restorative Yoga teacher, and the diversity across these disciplines combined with her passion for spreading the benefits of yoga, her dedication to make teachers be the best they can be and her ongoing study of philosophy, anatomy and asana, mean that teacher trainees receive a vital combination of learning about the many aspects of yoga practice, philosophy, and teaching.
Aside from teaching and practising yoga, Holly loves to walk her pug, see friends and family, have the odd beer and explore the world.
Holly’s approach to teaching is beautiful – everything is delivered in a non judgemental, accessible and friendly way. Thank you to Holly and Yoga Hero for creating such a fabulous course.
