    Back core muscles

    The much forgotten back muscles well explained. I hadn't really thought of the QL and multifidus as part of the core before: the activities brought theory to practice.

    Deeper understanding of what my core is doing for me

    This course illuminated the ways in which our core muscles work together to protect, stabilize and mobilize us through yoga and life. Well structured, simple and fun to complete

    Amazing course

    The course was so informative and well explained, and I understood so many things about the core muscles and how they work together in yoga poses. I love David and his way of teaching, and I definitely recommend this course!

    Loving my body

    This course has taught me to love, appreciate, and wonder in awe of my body in so many new ways. I have always been curious about the capacity of the mind-body connection and the complexities of the body, and I feel so much more confident, competent, and motivated to keep practicing, learning, and growing with this yoga teacher training. The teachers are so thoughtful and invested and the capacity to pace myself helps eliminate pressure and stress in the learning process. Thanks and namaste all~

    The clearest way to explain how the core muscles work

    I loved the clarity, the shortness, the hand-on examples given to explain how the muscles work. Great course. Thank you
