Steve

After 18 years of consistent asana practice, with no little or no medical or anatomical background, I now feel like I've been fumbling around in the dark. BUT, when I discovered the online availability of Simon and Bianca's work, every single aspect of my practice found a stronger foundation; the physical (I'm safer), the philosophical (so much more of the mysterious Sanskrit makes sense) and the meditative (I'm calmer and more focussed). It is truly summed up in their own 'mission statement' (Yoga for the modern body). I'd like to extend this review to include all of the download products that I'm enjoying, and not only the therapy course. If you care about not damaging yourself or, if applicable, your students, then you really will not regret investing the time and money into this work. It's also important that we are supported well when necessary, (in the world of I.T.) and to know that you're a real student / customer and not just another sale. On that I would add that every time I've had reason to contact them, they've listened and helped so, these days that's not too far from being at the feet of your guru I guess. Highly recommend this course, it's well structured, clear and very well indexed for future reference. If nothing else, Simon's injury list alone, will help you practice and teach with caution!


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.
