MEET COLYNN
Yoga Educator • Former Emergency Room Nurse • Anatomy & Somatics Specialist
Colynn Vosburgh is an international yoga educator, anatomy teacher, and former emergency room nurse who has spent more than 25 years studying the human body through both Western medicine and yoga.
Before becoming a full-time yoga educator, Colynn spent 17 years in nursing, primarily in emergency medicine, and completed two years of medical school.
Her fascination with anatomy eventually took her beyond textbooks and into the cadaver lab, where she participated in an intensive layer-by-layer human dissection with renowned anatomist Gil Hedley.
For more than a decade, Colynn has taught yoga teacher trainings around the world, helping thousands of teachers move away from memorized alignment rules and toward a more functional, inclusive, and body-aware approach to yoga.
Her teaching brings together anatomy, physiology, nervous system science, somatics, and traditional yogic wisdom with one central belief:
We don’t teach poses. We teach people.
Colynn’s approach to anatomy isn’t about memorizing every muscle in the body. It’s about understanding how the body works as a whole, recognizing that every body is different, and giving teachers the knowledge and confidence to make safer, more thoughtful decisions for the humans standing in front of them.
Through her Yoga Is Science approach, she invites teachers to question what they’ve been taught, experience anatomy in their own bodies, and discover the fascinating places where ancient yogic wisdom and modern science meet.
What’s your favorite yoga pose and why?
My fave yoga pose is Trikonasa. I love how the body can create so many different triangle all over and also feel very strong and beautiful while in the pose.
What is your favorite quote?
My favorite quote I read in a book (I can’t remember who by) and it said that yoga & meditation do not make you angry or sad or unhappy, but rather show you that those emotions are in your body.
What inspires you in your practice?
What inspires me in my yoga practice is Savasana!!! I love it so much after a hard practice, the way my body feels and the insights my mind has while in the pose.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
~ Colynn’s leadership and passion carried me through this training. I could tell how deeply she cared about her students’ success. Her knowledge across the board is incredible and I feel so inspired and prepared to teach with her guidance. She spread joy and compassion throughout my training and I’m eternally grateful to be one of her students.
~ Column’s anatomy classes, alignment cues, and ability to connect the emotional-physical-spiritual were amazing and enhanced all areas of my personal practice and the training. I felt like she was able to bridge well between the practical and the spiritual, especially in moments where one might be skeptical. Excellent facilitator.
