    Super clear explanations and demonstrations. Thanks Rachel. Helpful to have your suggested memory cues. In the discussion questions you showed great commitment demonstrating the external rotation of the arms on your bedroom floor which was a really useful additional clarification.

    I was already aware of many of the terms, however, this course simplified and clarified the concepts into very easily understood concepts. Great!

    Title and content match perfectly

    A study guide that uses the core terms that are needed to be successful on the tests & final test would be useful in this chapter. The study guide does not follow the sections of the video; therefore the tool is weak.

    Great Foundations Again

    I have studied planes of anatomy before, but this was the clearest version I have seen, with some important distinguishing points that clarified points e.g. your spine does not internally or externally rotate, I had never thought of it like that before. I cleared up some vague areas for me, the clear difference between hip flexion and back flexion. It's obvious when it is highlighted but mirky if it is not. The Chair was a good example to work through. Also how to describe movements when they are happening in contrast with when they are static. I had not so clearly distinguished that in my head before and so now it is crystal clear.

    Accessible and Well Presented Overview

    I thought this training entailed the perfect amount of detail and great tricks for remembering such as: sagittal- somersault, coronal- cartwheel, and transverse- twisting. These presentations were clear and easy to understand. I loved the exercise of writing the anatomical positioning of chair. I also thought the language usage in the answers to quiz questions were helpful too and good examples to use in describing a movement. Thank you!

    Helpful break down!

    I heard a lot of these terms in physical therapy -- without the context or clarity offered in these lessons. It was helpful to have the term and concept complexity bookended with the reasons why anatomical language is helpful as instructors and why it can deepen our own practice, but without needing to be so precisely descriptive in our classes.

    Wonderful introduction to anatomy

    I actually loved the short lessons and the quizzes that reviewed the material. I especially loved the "simon says" game of trying to follow the anatomical instructions to see if I retained the vocabulary.

    Language

    Really helpful tips to remember the planes of the body and good examples. I also liked how you had us deconstruct a pose and then review it. Really helpful to put what we learned into practice. This wasn't new to me, but a good review and I feel like it will stick better. Thanks!

    very helpful and for the first time I think I understand the 3 planesof movement, which completely confused me when I did my YTT training. Thank you Rachel.

    Well Done

    Awesome and informative, easy to follow while still promoting independent thinking!!! The only glitch I noticed were some of the videos were slightly glitchy and took a while to load...However, I am not a computer person so It may well have been on my end! Awesome Course overall!

    The Physical Body

    Rachel introduces the language of anatomy in clear and concise terms. Easy to understand and apply to practice as she relates each term to familiar yoga poses.

    The planes of movement

    I first learned the three planes in fitness theory courses and never quite got the terminology, until now with Rachel's clear and practical explanations. Or maybe it was her funny movements in the coronal (or frontal) plane!

    Great clarity!

    I have struggled with remembering the anatomical terms as the relate to position and movement. This has been by far the clearest explanations and demonstrations of these concepts that I have found. Thank you!

    Absolutely love the courses given by Rachel Scott. She knows exactly how to condense the topic in bitesize information that makes it easy to digest.

    Now it makes sense!

    I have such a better understanding of the poses and movements now. I inadvertently did the hip anatomy class before I did this one and it makes so much more sense now!
