Have you spent years studying anatomy, yet still feel uncertain when it comes to sequencing classes that truly support your students? Do you know the muscles, the actions, and the terminology, but something feels disconnected when you teach real bodies through real movement? This episode explores why that gap exists and how to bridge it.

In this conversation, we unpack the difference between knowing anatomy and understanding function. You will learn how shifting your perspective from individual muscles to movement patterns changes how you design classes, prepare students for poses, and adapt when things don't go as planned.

We also explore how functional sequencing supports students with pain, injuries, and diverse movement histories. I'll explain functional Warrior 2, and help you understand what this pose is asking of the student's body, which (once you spot it) can reshape the entire intention behind the sequencing of your classes.

This episode is for you if you want to stop second-guessing your sequences and start trusting your ability to respond to the students in front of you. If you have ever felt like you know the anatomy but struggle to apply it, this conversation will help you connect the dots and teach with greater clarity and understanding.
