If you're a yoga teacher looking for trusted anatomy education, real-world business support, and a thriving professional community—you're in the right place.
The Enlightened Yoga Collective is a membership platform designed specifically for yoga teachers who want to build confidence in their teaching, stay informed with the latest science, and grow a sustainable, rewarding career.
Whether you’re fresh from a 200-hour YTT or many years into your teaching journey, this space was created to help you thrive—not just survive.
Why we created the Enlightened Yoga Collective
Many yoga teachers leave their teacher training inspired but underprepared. You're passionate about helping your students, but you may feel stuck when it comes to:
Conflicting anatomy advice from different teachers
A lack of science-backed information in the yoga world
Difficulty building a website or marketing your offerings
Feeling isolated without a community of peers
Struggling to make teaching yoga financially sustainable
At the Enlightened Yoga Collective, we understand those challenges—because we’ve lived them.
We’re Matthew Huy and Andrew McGonigle, anatomy educators and co-authors of The Physiology of Yoga. We’ve taught on yoga teacher trainings all over the world, and we’ve seen the same gaps again and again.
So we built a new kind of support system for yoga professionals. One that’s clear, inclusive, science-based, and built on human connection.
What makes the Enlightened Yoga Collective different?
We’re not just another online course or Facebook group. We’re a science-informed yoga teacher community that combines education, mentorship, and practical tools for growth.
Inside the Collective, you’ll find:
Evidence-based anatomy and physiology for yoga teachers
