Why Brain Cradle’s Asana Manual Pages Leave Room for You

At Brain Cradle, we believe a yoga teacher’s unique style is revealed not just in what they teach, but how they cue.

Cues aren’t just instructions; they’re insights. They reflect a teacher’s lived experience, training lineage, and relationship with the body. That’s why our asana manual pages are designed to showcase your voice, not replace it.

A Semi-Workbook Format Designed for Personalization

Rather than standardizing how every pose should be taught, Brain Cradle’s asana pages use a semi-workbook layout. This flexible design invites trainees to engage directly with their Lead Trainer’s language, cues, and techniques.

It’s an intentional shift away from top-down instruction—and a vote of confidence in your unique approach.

For Trainers Who Lead With Voice and Vision

If you're a Lead Trainer, you know that your cueing style is part of what makes your teaching memorable. We believe your manual should reflect that. Whether you emphasize anatomy, energetics, or metaphor, our format supports your individuality while still meeting Yoga Alliance standards.

By providing a framework instead of a prescription, our pages help you retain ownership over your training while offering a structure your students can rely on.

For Trainees Who Learn Through Experience

Trainees deserve more than generic cue lists. They benefit from real-world context—hearing their teacher explain, demonstrate, and adapt each pose for different bodies and needs.

Our semi-workbook format creates space for note-taking, observation, and reflection. It encourages active learning, not rote memorization.

You Be the Brain. We’ll Be the Cradle.

At Brain Cradle, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all yoga education. Our mission is to support the intelligence already present in your teaching by holding space for your creativity, clarity, and care.
