This is a fantastic course with scientific, evidence-based materials that explain the work of the poses. Lizzie is a good moderator and at times I felt she was speaking my mind asking questions for me, and Mary's enthusiasm is contagious.

I have been teaching Yoga for over 20 years and I find this course so amazing - the level of detail! And articulating the truth that the body is like an orchestra and the fundamentals of body design and intelligence is so important to emphasize!

I am halfway through the course and I am blown away by the knowledge, wisdom and humor I've been experiencing so far. Judith Hanson Lasater is the godmother of Yoga; Mary Richards is the bomb when it comes to anatomy and her ability to break down anatomy - yes, she's the real deal and best anatomy nerd out there; Lizzie Lasater asks all the questions in a way that we Yoga teachers can relate!

Judith Hanson Lasater alongside Mary Richards makes these teachings approachable and highly clear - whether you have previous anatomy knowledge or not. This course furthermore takes that knowledge to another level, where through high-quality videos, podcast discussions and live tutorials, it teaches us how the body is constructed, its functionality and more importantly makes us aware of causes of injuries and how to best avoid them.

I have just completed Chapter 7 on the sacrum and have already learned SO much that I am able to feel in my own body and share with the students in my classes. What has helped the most is actually looking at the vertebral column to see with my own eyes how it moves - in the talks, podcasts and in the key pose video for each chapter and in the pocket anatomy examples.

This course (and the philosophies of all three teachers) should be required to be completed by every yoga teacher. I took a wonderful Experiential Anatomy workshop in 2016 in Vancouver with Judith so I’ve been thrilled to take it again in this format - where I can review, practice and review some more and always have it for reference.

I want to watch the tutorials over and over as I learn something new each time and the webinars were great. I felt the information was very successfully presented and there was more than adequate support throughout the course for questions, answers and demonstrations.

I highly recommend this course for all Yoga instructors and practitioners - you are guaranteed to learn something and have some laughs as well. Thank you for all that you continue to do to promote the safe and educated teaching of Yoga - with deep gratitude.

Dear Judith, Lizzie and Mary, It is with a touch of sadness that I complete this course. You’ve all been an important part of my life these past months and I’m sad to see you go. Although that is not entirely true as I know I will be accessing highlights from this course on many occasions! I’m an RYT with 13 years of teaching experience and I still have a good deal to learn. I loved the way the course was structured and really had many AHA moments. I hear your voices in my head when I practice and teach-in a good way! I highly recommend this course for all yoga instructors and practitioners-you are guaranteed to learn something and have some laughs as well. I enjoyed your camaraderie and the care you all took in designing and presenting this course in addition to reminding us that we are all human after all. My only criticism is that as a non Facebook user I felt a bit left out...it wasn’t a showstopper but you may want to adjust the way you incorporate Facebook into your future courses for those of us who have no desire to use it. Thank you for all that you continue to do to promote the safe and educated teaching of yoga- with deep gratitude...

As a new teacher of Yoga I found this course helpful, inspiring and interesting to boot! I so enjoyed the wisdom of Judith Hanson Lasater that she so generously and lovingly shared with us and Mary Richards’ lectures are so full of passion for anatomy, while her explanations are clear and easy to understand.

I always wanted to learn more about anatomy but I was afraid of failing, never understanding and not knowing how to apply and share it in a relatable, everyday way. But this course changed all of that and it is a treasure I’ll keep going back to and finding hidden gems again and again.
