A 4-week alignment-based vinyasa course for intermediate practitioners who want to understand the why behind every cue, every pose, and every transition.
Taught by Cathy Madeo — 20 years teaching, founder of a global yoga school with 500+ alumni in 50+ countries.
Lifetime access. 30-day guarantee.
THE FULL CURRICULUM
Four weeks. Every alignment principle, every foundational pose, every transition that makes vinyasa actually make sense.
Mountain, warriors, triangle, lunges. Learn the alignment in your feet, knees, and hips that every other pose builds on.

Stop yanking yourself into pigeon. Open the body methodically with cues most teachers never give you.

Bring it together. Vinyasa transitions, intelligent sequencing, and how to flow without losing the alignment you just learned.

A live alignment Q&A with me, and the manual I built for my YTT students — both included when you join.
60-min live call, first 50 students only
100-page digital pose breakdown, yours forever

Cathy Madeo has been practicing yoga for nearly 30 years and teaching since 2004. She’s the founder of Cathy Madeo Yoga, a global online yoga school with over 500 graduates across 50+ countries, a Yoga Alliance 5-star rated 200 and 300 Hour YTT, and a community of 248K+ students on social media. Cathy’s signature is alignment-based vinyasa — adapting the pose to the body, not the body to the pose — and she’s known for unlocking postures students had spent years forcing. She built The Foundation for the practitioner who wants the depth of teacher training without the commitment of becoming a teacher.
No. The Foundation is for students who want the alignment knowledge from a YTT without the time commitment, the cost, or the obligation to teach. If you do later decide to take my 200 Hour YTT, this course will give you a head start on the asana foundation.
At $129, the course is priced as a one-time payment with no plan needed. If cost is a barrier, email us — we work with people case by case.
30-day money-back guarantee. If you’ve practiced with the course for 30 days and don’t feel it’s helped you, email us for a full refund. No paperwork, no friction.
Lifetime. Once you join, the course is yours forever — including all future updates. Watch on your schedule, rewatch as often as you want.
Complete beginners — if you’ve never done a yoga class, my Beginner Series is a better fit. And if you’re already certified through a strong YTT, you’ll likely find the material familiar (though some teachers still take it as a refresher on alignment fundamentals).
The course itself is video-based so you can practice on your own schedule. The live alignment Q&A is a one-time bonus call for the first 50 students who join — that’s the only live component.
My YouTube channel is full of single classes and tutorials. The Foundation is a structured 4-week curriculum that builds week on week, with pose breakdowns, the full Asana Manual, and a clear progression most students can’t piece together from individual videos alone.
