what you’ll learn
A curriculum built around real mastery.
Ten integrated modules — each one designed to give you practical skills you can teach with confidence from day one. Click any module to explore.
Handstands & Inversions
The signature module of Sage House. Progressive inversion training built from the ground up — wrist conditioning, shoulder stability, core engagement, and precise weight distribution. You’ll work from crow pose through forearm balance to freestanding handstand, with Ankit’s detailed personal feedback at every stage. Students consistently cite this as skills they’ve never found anywhere else.
Vinyasa Flow Design
Not just how to flow — how to think about flow. You’ll learn the arc of an intelligent sequence: how to warm a joint before demanding it, when to build peak intensity and when to begin descent, and how to weave inversions into a vinyasa class without breaking energy or risking injury.
Alignment Science
Joint-by-joint alignment principles applied to every foundational pose. No dogma, no “this is just how it’s done” — only anatomy-backed reasoning you can explain and teach to any student. You’ll leave knowing why each alignment cue exists and how to adapt it for different body types.
Applied Biomechanics
Understand how the body actually moves under load — force vectors, joint mechanics, muscular co-contraction, and how gravity interacts with every pose. This is what separates a teacher who corrects by feel from one who corrects by understanding.
Mobility & Functional Flexibility
Science-backed mobility work that creates active, usable range of motion — not passive stretching that disappears the moment you need strength. You’ll learn PAILs/RAILs, CARs, and loaded flexibility protocols that translate directly into inversion capacity.
Pranayama
Traditional breathing practices grounded in both yogic lineage and modern respiratory physiology. Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Bhramari, and box breathing — taught with the physiological reasoning that makes each technique a tool, not a ritual.
Meditation & Yoga Philosophy
Classical philosophy — Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the eight limbs, Samkhya, and the concept of Prakriti — made accessible and genuinely useful for modern life. Practical meditation techniques you can teach without needing a decade of study to explain.
Functional Anatomy
Muscles, bones, fascia, and connective tissue — how they cooperate in every asana. Special focus on shoulder anatomy (critical for handstand) and hip architecture. You’ll build a mental model of the human body that informs every correction you’ll ever give.
Teaching Methodology
The full toolkit: cueing by breath, by sensation, and by visual reference; safe hands-on adjustments; how to read a room and adapt a class on the fly; building student confidence; and the practical business of starting a yoga teaching career.
Yin & Restorative Practice
The art of slowing down — and teaching others to do the same. Long-hold yin postures targeting specific fascial lines, restorative setups with props, and the nervous system science behind why deep rest is as transformative as dynamic practice.
