Dogmatic vs Functional alignment:

What's the difference?

Dogmatic alignment prescribes a single “correct” way to make a shape in your body, labeling anything else as wrong. Most of these instructions are not rooted in anatomy or biomechanics (how the body actually works). Instead, they’re often based on aesthetics or outdated, passed-down rules that haven’t evolved in decades.

Functional alignment, on the other hand, is grounded in anatomy and biomechanics. It goes beyond simple joint positioning to include isometric muscle engagement and acknowledges that every body is unique — meaning cues must adapt to the individual. It also considers timing: knowing what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Functional alignment is flexible, intentional, and never absolute.

In functional alignment, there are many valid ways to approach a posture — the key is intent. That intent shapes every choice:

• Reducing joint injury risk
• Increasing stability or balance
• Improving mobility or strength
• Expanding breath capacity and control
• Reducing stress or enhancing cardiovascular health
  In this training, we’ll explore each pose through the lens of specific intent, rather than arbitrary aesthetics — empowering you to make alignment choices that serve your body and your students.
