Claudette Martens

Very informative course, on how our subtle body connects with our gross body, and how we use pranayama to transfer our energy through our subtle bodies, enabling us to move more freely. 

Janet Green

This course provided a great overview of the major concept of anatomy used in the common yoga asanas. This course was highly informative and made me feel prepared to teach from a place of anatomical understanding.

Megan Hayes

I learned so much about alignment. I feel more confident using anatomical terms in class and I now know the “why” behind the way we cue certain alignment. The instructors were very knowledgeable. I know I will continue to refer back to the teaching manual as I continue onward in my teaching journey.
