YogaScholar: Yoga Training

Most yoga teachers can do the poses. Fewer can explain why Adho Mukha Svanasana means what it means, which chakra Ustrasana activates, or how Ahimsa shows up in how they cue a class. YogaScholar closes that gap. YogaScholar is the yoga education app built for teacher trainees and practising teachers who want to go deeper than the physical practice. WHAT'S INSIDE Asana — Sanskrit Root Words 120+ yoga poses broken down by their Sanskrit roots. Learn that Adho means downward, Mukha means face, and Svana means dog — and the pose stops being a foreign word and becomes a description of what the body is doing. Tiered quiz system, root word drills, and matching games. Chakras — The Subtle Body All 7 chakras with deep content — colour, element, bija mantra, location, organ systems, qualities, imbalance signs, associated poses, mudra, and affirmation. Scenario-based quiz questions help teachers recognise chakra imbalances in real students. Philosophy — The 8 Limbs, Yamas and Niyamas Three learning tracks covering Patanjali's 8 Limbs, the 5 Yamas, and the 5 Niyamas. Each principle includes meaning, description, practical application, and a reflection prompt. Quiz questions are scenario-based — real teaching situations that require genuine understanding. Pranayama — Teaching Library 10 breathing techniques including Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Ujjayi, Bhramari, and more. Each includes teaching instructions, benefits, contraindications, and chakra connection. Browse by intention: Energizing, Calming, Balancing, Releasing, and Advanced. Bandhas — Energy Locks The 4 bandhas with full teaching guides — what they are, how to find them, and how to introduce them to students. Often undertaught, always impactful. Class Themes — Teaching Guides 10 complete class themes with philosophical thread, suggested poses, opening intention, and closing reflection. For when you want to teach something meaningful, not just a sequence. Glossary — Quick Reference 120+ poses organised by category with Sanskrit name, English name, and pronunciation. All 7 chakras, the 8 Limbs, Yamas and Niyamas at a glance. No quiz — just reference. What is Yoga — The Tradition Six articles covering the origins, history, lineages, styles, and philosophy of yoga. Built for teachers who want to understand what they're actually teaching. Class Builder — AI Sequencing Build a complete, structured yoga class in seconds. Choose your style, energy, level, duration, and focus area. The AI generates a full sequence with warm up, build, peak, cool down, and savasana. Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, and Power styles supported. HOW IT WORKS YogaScholar uses a proven learning system — See It, Recognise It, Recall It — that builds genuine retention rather than short-term memorisation.
