Sarah’s training is exceptional! The way I approach teaching yoga has changed radically as a result of the knowledge I have gained. The training puts the teaching of asana into a realistic perspective of real people, real bodies and functional movement.

I love the friendly, welcoming vibe of Sarah’s courses. She encourages you to challenge previous knowledge and guides you to make informed decisions about your teaching. I feel a more competent, safer teacher and able to explain my teaching rationale better.

This is a wonderful course and the material is highly relevant to the problems that present in class frequently. It was so good to go through the yoga repertoire and look at what is useful, safe and relevant – and what can cause serious injury and we should really not be teaching!

I honestly think Sarah has forgotten more than I know! She delivers clear, concise and exceptionally high-quality training which is based on her considerable experience and knowledge. Her no-nonsense, functional approach to yoga is so motivating in terms of making me want to be a better teacher.

I looked extensively for a yoga-specific anatomy training course and this has hugely improved my style of teaching and knowledge of injuries and body alignment. I wish the course would keep on going for a weekend every month!

Sarah is knowledgeable, informative, clear, concise, friendly and helpful! What she has delivered in The Body Aligned has transformed my teaching and my personal practice. Here’s to all our healthy bodies!

The Body Aligned was a great addition to my knowledge after completing The Body Athletic in September 2017. It's so helpful to learn about injury in a relatable way and look at how Yoga can help recovery - and the dangers some asana may present. The group work was so useful and inspiring for class scenarios. My teaching has benefitted greatly from learning more about common injuries and discussing ways to help/avoid further injury in a Yoga class.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course & think you are a wonderful teacher, with a fantastic way of explaining complex anatomy to everyone, no matter their level of knowledge. The course invigorated my lust for learning & I found it fascinating & also, that everything completely 'made sense' when I stepped back & though about it!! I find myself constantly assessing people wherever I go.... I would highly recommend this course to any teacher who wants a deeper understanding of how the body works & especially how what we teach in our yoga classes can have a profound effect on a student's body.

I really enjoyed the course! Sarah is very approachable and knowledgeable, and has a great deal of practical experience which she delivers in a very accessible way. She also challenges previous thinking in a constructive way. Learning from other participants has been a real bonus with networking extending our learning. An excellent balance between theory and practice which I can put into practice in my classes immediately and in my personal practice. I would love to continue learning with Sarah.

The Body Aligned was really useful for learning more about anatomy and having time to discuss and apply this to the yoga repertoire. Great group size as I felt I could discuss and learn from everyone. As ever, your style of teaching Sarah is very easy and you allow us enough time to practise and talk things through in order to have a greater understanding. Overall another thoroughly enjoyable course. Thank you!

I highly recommend The Body Aligned course, Sarah's knowledge and how to integrate this into class teaching is inspiring. Personally this has lit a fire within me to continue learning in this area, although this training works with movements from Yoga I still found it extremely useful and adaptable for teaching Pilates, in fact if you teach any type of fitness The Body Aligned has something to offer.

Your course has been eye-opening - It has been an interesting and intense journey but thoroughly enjoyable and extremely useful. Your delivery is a perfect balance of theory and practical and I’ll be
using the recommended reading books as my bibles for years to come. Hope our paths cross again and again - in the meantime take good care and a million thanks for the fabulous course!

Having completed Sarah’s Body Athletic and the Body Aligned courses, I can highly recommend Sarah as a course teacher. She has incredible and extensive anatomy knowledge that has given me the confidence to move forward with my teaching.

This course consolidated my learning from Sarah sports yoga course. I will find it incredibly useful in my teachings and in my ability to look after and help people in my classes. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

Really enjoyed the course and learned so much! Sarah has an incredible wealth of knowledge of the human body. This course has made me think much more in -depth about what I am teaching and why, and given me so much to think about for the future.

As a new yoga teacher I found it quite daunting to be suddenly faced with the reality of students who have very differing physical and emotional characteristics and capabilities. Whereas 200 hours of teacher training gave me a solid foundation in generic techniques, I quickly came to realise that 'real world' yoga demands a much deeper understanding of anatomical awareness. This is where Sarah's 'The Body Aligned' course comes into its own. It has changed my approach to teaching from being purely focused on 'asana' alignment and technique. I now try to question what my students might need from their yoga classes, particularly with a view to maintaining and/or regaining normal range of motion throughout the major joints. I cannot recommend this course enough and honestly believe everyone who attends will come away with a new perspective on teaching yoga.

After 20 years of practicing yoga I trained and qualified a year ago. I instinctively used my knowledge of yoga to help me recover from major surgery in 2013 – hence my interest in the benefits of yoga for the physical body. The Body Aligned course has given me a much better understanding of the mechanics behind the body. I intend to use the information / knowledge I have gained on this course to adapt my teaching and try to convey to my students’ body awareness and good postural habits to take off the mat with them and into everyday life.

Hugely recommended! This course takes your training and understanding of the body, its movements, restrictions, injuries and how to assist someone to the next level. The course gives you more confidence to question what is happening with an individual and how to help them.

The course equips the learner with relevant research-based anatomical information and practice that can be applied practically. Thank you, Sarah, a positive and hugely informative course!
