Jules Mitchell is a distinguished yoga educator and author renowned for integrating exercise science and applications of pain science into yoga instruction. Her work bridges the gap between traditional yoga practices and modern scientific understanding, offering a nuanced and science-based perspective.

While anatomy provides a foundational understanding of the body’s structures, Jules emphasizes that biomechanics explores how these structures interact dynamically under various forces. This approach moves beyond static representations, offering a more comprehensive view of movement and alignment. It also sheds light on key topics in yoga such as safety, injury prevention, stretching, pain science, and more.

Mitchell’s teachings empower yoga professionals to move beyond memorized cues and cultivate critical thinking. By understanding the principles of biomechanics, instructors can make informed choices, adapt practices to individual needs, and foster safer, more effective yoga experiences.

Through her courses, workshops, and her book Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined, Mitchell offers valuable insights into the complexity of human movement, challenging long-held assumptions and encouraging a science-informed approach to the practice of yoga.

Jules lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her cat Pitbull. For more information, visit her at julesmitchell.com.
