Ever wish you could teach with more confidence, sharing clear cues and in a way that feels fun and EASY?

How would it feel to walk into your class and speak with the confidence of a true expert?

Instead, are you finding it's harder than you thought to apply all of what you learned AND are you realizing you don't remember any of the anatomy you were taught in your initial training?

If this hits home, you're in the right place because I can help.

Can you relate to any or all of these below?

It's hard to find the right cues when I teach
I spend WAY too much time building my class sequences
I'm nervous when someone asks me a question because I'm not sure I'll have the right answer
I'm worried people might get hurt in my classes
What if instead, you could:
Be confident
Feel authentic
Grow your impact
Earn your worth
Build a community of people who love your classes

It's easier than you think when you've got the right tools, training and support. Read on to find out more!

The secret lies in uncovering a few key concepts about movement.

Why? Because the one theme we all share (and it doesn't matter what style of yoga we teach) is we're all teaching movement. In order teach movement confidently, you just need to uncover some of the basics about anatomy.

Now, if you're already counting yourself out because you tried to learn anatomy before and it didn't work, let me share another secret:

The easiest way uncover the fundamentals of anatomy is with a blueprint that walks you through exactly what you need to know.

Once you follow the blueprint, you'll start confidently shares cues, easily building sequences and enthusiastically answering student questions, all while creating the teaching opportunities you love and increasing your earnings and impact.

How do I know this? I know it because once I built the blueprint, I had lots of teachers go through the process and they got amazing results. But don't take just my word for it; you can read it in their own words in the testimonials below!

When teachers don't understand anatomy, they're only able to repeat cues over and over. Doesn't this get tiring?

Once you truly discover the key principles of movement, your confidence will soar and your impact on your students will grow because you'll be sharing from what you KNOW.

This will open MANY doors for you to teach WHO, HOW and WHERE you want, all the while charging premium prices for it!

You'll continue to spend money on trainings and may leave disappointed because you didn't learn the skills you wanted to learn
You'll spend time surfing the web, patching together information about your anatomy questions instead of learning it in an organized way
You may find yourself teaching classes wondering if your cues are correct
You might continue to have that nervous feeling when a student asks you a question
You may wonder when you can charge more for your classes and private sessions and start creating the custom programming you want
You'll find yourself dreaming about the teacher you KNOW you can be but wondering when you're going to get there.

There's a way to skip ALL that. Read on!

The first step is to uncover the fundamentals of movement... meaning, anatomy.

I'm going to share with you the KEY aspects of anatomy in an easy STEP BY STEP way so that you can apply it to the cues you use, the sequences you build and the student questions you get.

Once you build that foundation, you'll not only create teaching opportunities that you love, but your students will eagerly join your classes and your teaching portfolio will grow, all leading to greater earning potential and bigger impact.

All you need to do is follow the steps I've laid out in the Yoga Anatomy Blueprint!

Let me just stop for a minute and introduce myself:

I'm Karen Fabian, the Founder of Bare Bones Yoga

I'm a yoga teacher with over 15 years of experience, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider and I have two certifications through NASM in Sports Medicine, as a Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist. My mission is to help yoga teachers master the fundamentals of anatomy so that they can confidently share it in their cues, sequences and the answers to student questions, all so they can increase their earning potential and impact.

My background in anatomy comes from my undergraduate education in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Counseling at Boston University, my clinical work as a Rehabilitation Counselor and Social Worker, my professional experience in health care and over 15 years of teaching experience.

I've written 3 books on yoga and anatomy and I work with teachers all over the world via this specialty program as well as my mentorship and certification program. I also teach classes and workshops and contribute to teacher trainings in many locations around the globe.

When I started teaching back in 2003, I used to sit in my car outside the studio and WILL myself to go in. Armed only with what I was trained to say, I felt ill-prepared and inauthentic. I wanted things to spontaneously flow from me but all I had was the ability to mimic what my teacher had told me to say.

Fast forward to now, and granted, I've had many years of experience but what made the biggest difference was mastering the essential components of anatomy for yoga.

Doing this allowed me to create my own cues using words that are authentic to me, answer student questions with a depth of understanding they needed in order for me to be of real service and cut back on time prepping for class because I could just show up and teach without having to spend hours writing out a sequence and then practicing it.

Most impactful was how I felt and feel to this day: confident, excited to show up for people, enthusiastically sharing lessons about the body in the form of yoga teaching and loving that it's a way for me to earn a living.

This story is mine but it bears itself out each time a teacher graduates from this program. Just take a look at the testimonials below and watch the videos here on this page to hear about it in their own words.

FEELING: You'll grow into a more confident teacher by mastering the foundations of anatomy and translating it into understandable cues that will make the LIGHT BULBS GO OFF as your students hear your cues

ACTION: These clear and understandable cues will allow your students to know exactly what you want them to do in each pose and as a result, they'll LOVE coming to your classes

FEELING: You'll eagerly await questions after class from students because your anatomy knowledge gives you the confidence to have those kinds of conversations with your students

ACTION: Because of your expertise and approachable way, your students will feel HEARD and SEEN by you and will feel comfortable approaching you after class

ACTION: Your ability to build specialty sequences for NICHE groups, like athletes, runners, seniors, people with disabilities and other specialty groups will expand so you're not only making yoga more accessible, but because you're building sequences with greater ease, you'll have more time and energy available to teach

RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN THIS PROGRAM: Armed with this knowledge as the basis for building important teaching skills, you'll be confident in offering private yoga classes, specialty group classes, workshops..... all the way up to building retreats and specialty experiences, like meditation workshops, women's wellness groups, travel/yoga experiences and more!

The investment you make in this program can easily be offset by the new earning potential you'll have!

The Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program has everything you need and all you do is follow the steps!

An online course to guide you through a step by step process to learn the KEY aspects of anatomy
Three individual coaching calls with me so that you can ask questions and get one on one help learning how to cue and build sequences
A special (totally optional) LEARNING REWARDS PROGRAM designed to help you earn back $100 of your investment when you complete the course and do your 3 coaching calls within 90 days of enrollment (otherwise, take all the time you need to go through the Program)
An updated edition of my anatomy manual so that you can use it as a companion to the course to reinforce what you're learning
Quizzes, summary videos and a Program workbook to make sure you're learning along the way and to make the process fun and easy to do
Access to my online practice platform called the Practice Portal so you can learn how to build anatomy based sequences and learn anatomy cues
Lifetime access to the course, which is continually updated (at no extra cost to you) as well as ongoing support via email

"I'm standing on a firm foundation of
understanding"

As a result of completing the Blueprint Learning Program, I can share a shift that’s happened for me: in one word - confident. It's not confident in that I know everything; it’s that I’m confident in that I feel like I'm standing on a firm foundation of understanding. The foundation is stronger and so I feel stronger. This came as a result of completing this program. Watch Kristen's video to the left of this text.

"...this program helped me learn how to tailor and know anatomy more broadly"

I learned a lot about how to tailor my practice to my anatomy, and I feel like this program helped me learn how to tailor and know anatomy more broadly to all bodies and how tailor the practice to all bodies rather than my own. Because I also know a lot about what is good for me, or what is healthy for me may not be healthy for someone else. Knowing anatomy is good for my own advancement but now I can confidently say that other people can tailor their practice based on their others’ limitations.

"The BLP taught me so much"

Following my 200 hour training, I wanted to expand my anatomy knowledge, that’s when I found Bare Bones Yoga. The Blueprint Learning Program (BLP) is a brilliant program and helped break down a complex subject into key aspects of anatomy. The BLP taught me so much, including the mechanics of healthy movements and how to apply this to my teaching. Karen invests a huge amount of time and effort into her students and provides many valuable resources to support you throughout the program. Karen is so enthusiastic, passionate and supportive. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in developing their yoga anatomy knowledge.

"Your anatomy program is definitely helping my yoga teaching skills!"

One of my yoga students stayed after class and told me that she loves how I explain the different muscles that we are using in the poses. She said the studio that she used to go to, the instructors would just rattle thru poses and never stop to tell them why or what they were working on. She said she really likes and appreciates my style of teaching. Another student said she took a yoga class last week just as a fill in, and noted that she REALLY prefers to come to my classes because she learns so much more! Warms my heart to no end. Thank you so much for ALL you do Karen!

Karen is an awesome instructor who cares about your success!

After completing my 200-hour course I still felt very unsure about anatomy. I read Yoga anatomy books but still felt like so many pieces were missing. I signed up for one of her free online sessions and I was hooked! I enrolled right away and haven’t regretted it once. She breaks everything down into easy to understand segments and gives you so many ideas and options about how to lead and teach students. Not only is Karen incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy but her commitment to you as a student is something I honestly haven’t found anywhere else in all the courses I’ve taken online. She is there for you 100% to answer any questions clearly and thoughtfully until you feel comfortable with the information. If you want to feel confident about anatomy as a Yoga instructor I don't think you'll find anyone better!

"Anatomy based - Amazing Program!"

I am a recent graduate of the Blue Print Learning Program. I cannot tell you how wonderful this program is. Karen is a wealth of knowledge and the program is quite in depth, starting from the basics of Anatomy. You can see all the work Karen has put into creating this Program. Karen is always available should you have any questions and responds quickly to all messages. She treats you as a colleague and makes you feel right at home – as if she’s known you for years - she is so encouraging! This program was exactly what I needed after completing my RYT200, and I feel much more confident as a Yoga Instructor knowing what’s happening in our bodies during poses / movements along with reasons why these movements/poses are the way they are. What’s amazing, even after you’ve completed the course, Karen remains available for any questions you may have. Thank you so much Karen. It was a pleasure to take this course. I will continue to use it in the future as a reference.

"This program helped solidify the knowledge"

I was looking for a little more anatomy training and stumbled upon the Blue Print Learning Program. Karen has created an easy to follow training manual and video course to help deepen any yoga teacher's understanding of anatomy. In addition, she gives a step-by-step approach to cueing yoga poses with anatomy as a base. This program helped solidify the knowledge I already had, as well as, deepen my anatomy base for yoga. I would recommend this course for both the seasoned practitioner and the beginning yoga instructor!

"A Must Do Program!"

This Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program is a must do !!!! I completed both my 200 and 300 YTT and still was missing the icing on the cake. Karen is an amazing educator and very dedicated to helping her students succeed. She is very timely in getting back to emails/text etc. She created a very comprehensive program that gave me what I was missing. I am super excited to apply what I have learned and she doesn’t stop at your graduation of this program, she offers continued support that you will have to check out. So so so thankful for her time and sharing her knowledge. Thank you Karen for offering your program!!!!

What are the details of the Learning Rewards Program? Sometimes teachers invest in programs and they don't finish them. I don't want that to be you. So, I offer an optional Learning Rewards Program option to ensure you're learning and earning back some of your investment in REAL DOLLARS. The Program includes 3 COACHING CALLS (these are given to you as a bonus and if done as a stand alone would be worth more than $1000). If you decide to enroll in the Learning Rewards option, as you complete each call, you'll earn back money as well as know that you're staying on track. When you enroll, we'll have an introductory call and you can decide if you want to enroll in the Learning Rewards program track. If so, we'll set up the 3 calls within 90 days of your enrollment date. Upon completion of call #1, you'll earn back $25 as well as for call #2. If you complete call #3 before the 90 days is up, you'll earn back $50 and since that's your graduation call also, you'll not only graduate from the Program but you'll also have earned back $100 of your investment! (applies to all payment options). If this timeframe doesn't work for you, no worries! You can take as long as you want to graduate and you will still get all 3 calls as a bonus feature of the Program. I just wanted to give you some extra motivation to finish within 3 months of your start date. This is very unique and rarely provided with other programs.

Who is this Program for? This Program is designed for new yoga teachers who have recently graduated from a 200 hour teacher training. It also is a great fit for someone who is currently taking a 200 hour training or knows they want to take a 200 hour training program within the next year. The program is specifically designed to help new teachers who have not been teaching for a while, who are eager to get off on the right foot and are looking for ways to decrease some of the frustration that's common after you graduate from teacher training.

Can I purchase the Program on a payment plan instead of a one time payment? You can buy the Program outright with one payment or have the convenience of a payment plan over 2 months or 3 months. Your first payment will be made the day you enroll and then on that day every month after that, for the length of the payment plan. Also, factor in that you have the opportunity to earn back $100 of your investment if you graduate within 90 days of enrollment.

How will I receive the manual and get access to the Practice Portal? I'll send you the anatomy manual and the Program workbook in the mail. Upon enrollment, you'll get immediate access to the full online course. Upon enrollment, you'll also be given a code to give you free access to the Practice Portal. Note that the anatomy manual and the subscription to the Practice Portal is given to you as a bonus for being in the Program!

How do I know if I'm learning the information and will be able to apply it once I start using it in my teaching? In our 3 coaching calls, I have a number of ways I'll ask you questions to ensure you're learning.There are also "Module Check In" sections at the end of each section, quizzes throughout and a test at the end. All of it is designed to help you make the most of this learning experience.

Do I get CEU's that I can use for Yoga Alliance to renew my registration? Yes! I'm an approved Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider so taking my courses online counts towards CEUs. You'll receive a certificate of completion that indicates you took the course and you can use those hours as part of your renewal. The time to complete the course is estimated at 15 hours.

Do you update the course and if so, how will I get the updates? Course content is indeed sometimes updated as new information becomes available and/or there is a need to refresh some of the modules' content. Once you purchase the course, you get ANY updates for free, even though the course price may increase to reflect added value. You will simply see the new videos and text when you log in again.

What happens when I am done with this program? You graduate, get a completion certificate, enter your hours in the Yoga Alliance website and best of all, have the knowledge to move forward powerfully in your teaching. Some teachers move next into my mentorship program to take their knowledge further and to help them build their teaching business.

Why would I invest in this program over taking an in-person training on anatomy or another program? There are many reasons to invest in this program over in person training or other online programs:

One, it's something that you can refer to anytime you have a question. With in person trainings, once the training is done, there isn't an easy way to contact the instructor to get your questions answered. With an online Program like this, you'll have lifetime access to the information and ongoing support through the Facebook group and myself via email and online.
Also, taking an online program like this one in anatomy gives you all the information you need in one ONE PLACE. To do this the traditional route, you'd be taking many individual small and big workshops or trainings to cover all this material. Here, you'll have it all organized and in one place and can refer to it anytime.
The power of this program lies in the format that provides you with a step by step way to learn anatomy and supports you through the live coaching calls in applying it to your teaching.
Lastly, this program is less expensive than any week long (or even shorter) teacher training you can purchase, especially once you count the training itself, travel costs and costs related to lost time from work, so it is cost effective as a comparison to the more traditional "hours based" trainings.

You'll get immediate access to the course part of the Program, including all the modules, videos and text plus:

An initial welcome call with me will get you set up for success and introduce you to the course itself and the training schedule and all details, including the Learning Rewards Program
Support and ongoing learning as part of my Facebook community called "The Bare Bones Yoga Anatomy Workgroup" as well as a special Facebook page for teachers in this program
All 3 of the coaching calls are included to help you translate what you are learning to the ability to create the cues
My FULLY UPDATED 200-page anatomy manual as a course companion and a program workbook to help keep you on track
Access to my online platform called "The Bare Bones Yoga Practice Portal", which will give you access to recorded online classes, ranging from short general sequences, to longer sequences, specialty sequences including myofascial release, speciality practices for niche groups like beginners, older students and athletes and an "Expand Yourself" module filled with personal growth exercises designed to help you learn, grow and develop on a personal level
AND, all new course content added you get at no extra cost!

Feeling like it's a bit of a risk to enroll? Let me take that risk away for you so it's EASY to say YES!

When you invest in the Program if you change your mind and believe it's not a good fit, I'll refund your money within 30 days of purchase as long as you've completed at least 5 of the modules and attended at least 1 of the live calls (because if you haven't done some of the work, how will you know it won't work for you?)

I'll bet this is the first time you've gotten a risk-free guarantee with a yoga training program; that's how confident I am that this program can help you.

Ever wish you could teach with more confidence, sharing clear cues and in a way that feels fun and EASY?

Instead, are you finding it's harder than you thought to apply all of what you learned AND are you realizing you don't remember any of the anatomy you were taught in your initial training?
