5-Week Live + Pre-Recorded Weekly Modules

This course blends real-time community learning with guided exploration at home. Each week you’ll join Jessica for a 90-minute live session and receive a pre-recorded class that deepens the theme of the week—so you can study, embody, and experiment in your own time. Replays of all live sessions are provided.

What if every student in your class—every body, every age, every level—could experience the essence of each pose?

Not by pushing harder or going deeper, but through intelligent structure, creative adaptation, and a profound respect for the body’s natural design.

This is the heart of Reimagining Asana with Jessica Trudeau. In this five-week live series, Jessica will guide you through a multi-layered, dynamic, and deeply inclusive approach to asana—one that balances stretch and strength, safety and creativity, challenge and compassion.

Each session explores a key category of yoga poses—Standing, Backbends, Hip Openers, Balancing Poses, and Forward Folds—so you can learn how to build, deconstruct, and reimagine shapes from the inside out.

Why This Training Feels So Different

Most yoga classes demonstrate a single “ideal” version of a pose—leaving some students striving to keep up while others sit out entirely. Reimagining Asana turns that approach on its head.

You’ll learn how to design classes where everyone participates, and every body finds meaningful engagement—whether the pose is a standing twist, a backbend, or an arm balance.

This training teaches you how to:

Deconstruct complex postures into accessible building blocks that lead to success for every student.
Layer adaptations and progressions so advanced students stay challenged while newer students stay safe.
Use props creatively—not just as support, but as tools for exploration and empowerment.
Recreate each shape with integrity, using alignment and energetic intention as the common thread across variations.

What You’ll Learn

In five interactive sessions, you’ll explore how to:

Build poses from the ground up, balancing stability and freedom
Sequence architecturally sound classes that build naturally toward peak poses
Integrate props creatively to make every shape accessible without losing depth or integrity
Cue inclusively and articulately, inviting students into agency and exploration
Engage multi-level classes so every student participates meaningfully
Move beyond hands-on adjustments into empowering, embodied teaching

This is yoga teaching that honors diversity, celebrates creativity, and empowers every student to succeed.

The 5 Live Sessions

Each 90-minute live Zoom session includes practice, sequencing exploration, cue refinement, and community discussion.

Digital manual and printable handouts included.

Standing Poses – Ground through alignment, balance, and strength
Backbends – Open safely through spinal integrity and support
Hip Openers – Cultivate space and release through balanced engagement
Balancing Poses – Build stability, focus, and dynamic ease
Forward Folds – Explore surrender and length with mindful foundations

Who This Training Is For

Yoga teachers ready to expand their skill set with creative, inclusive teaching tools
Dedicated practitioners seeking depth, safety, and confidence in their practice
Students in their 50s, 60s, and 70s exploring sustainability and longevity in movement
Anyone who’s ever thought, “That pose isn’t for me,” and is ready to discover it anew

Why You’ll Love It

This training isn’t about chasing perfect poses—it’s about awakening creativity, connection, and confidence.

You’ll leave each session with practical techniques you can use immediately in your classes or personal practice—and a renewed love for the art of yoga.

When props become tools for expression, when sequencing becomes poetry, and when every student feels seen and included—that’s the yoga Jessica teaches.
