Anneliese

Good morning Simon and Bianca, I am currently up to week 7 in the online Yoga Therapy course. I feel so grateful to you both for offering me the opportunity to complete this learning. It has been direction changing for me. I am very new to being a yoga teacher and feel so fortunate to be being empowered with this knowledge at such an earlier stage of my Yoga journey. After attending many Yoga classes and feeling confused and often concerned about  poses being offered ( especially in beginners classes ), its similar to a door being opened and finding a whole new wing of a building to explore. The course make so much sense to me, connects with what I feel instinctively, is engaging and has given me so much more in depth knowledge and confidence. Being able to complete online is great for me to fit in with a full family life but I still feel so connected. I love Simons teaching style. Its expert, heart felt, gentle and generous and I often am at the computer having light bulb moments and/or shaking with laughter. I love sitting at the dinner table, sharing what I have learned that day with my family starting with " Simon says" Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity. Sending you many warm wishes


The ‘Yoga Therapy: Therapeutic Applications of Posture, Movement and Breathing” course includes many real life cases, to show that yoga therapy is a science that varies from individual to individual and needs to be administered personally for each individual case. Filmed in front of a live audience, the cases covered were unscripted and as such give participants a real-life experience of how diverse injury – and treatment – can be, particularly for clients with a long history of ailments and illnesses. The course stresses that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to work with the body – what works well on one person may not work well on another.

This course does not qualify you to practice as a yoga therapist but intends to guide you to start to understand basic principles of how to think about and approach your yoga practice so as not to damage yourself or others. We highly recommend that anyone seeking to use Yoga Therapy as a treatment, first consult a qualified medical practitioner.

Why study Yoga Therapy?

Many people practice exercises way beyond their understanding and physical capability, which is why it is so easy to get injured. If you’re a yoga teacher and would like to deal with your students’ ailments and conditions safely and effectively, first you have to understand the anatomy and physiology of your own body. Once you have understood how to manage your own ailments and injuries, it’s then much easier to start giving advice to other people.
