The Body Athletic

Fantastic and inspirational course which took my teaching AND learning to a new level of understanding. The detail is incredible, providing vital knowledge about anatomy and how the body works; and also offering practical information about teaching Yoga to Athletes (and much much more too). If you're interested in becoming a better Yoga teacher this course is fantastic, regardless of whether you want to teach athletes or not!

Sarah’s enthusiasm for what she does is infectious. I come away from every session feeling inspired, wanting to learn more & keen to pass on my knowledge for the benefit of others. For anyone with an interest in Yoga for Sport, this course is a must.

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 have thoroughly enjoyed this course and learned so much more than I was expecting! I have worked with athletes for a while and I can’t believe how much information we have covered in a year – Sarah is a great teacher. For me the main thing has been my increased knowledge in assessing individual athletes and planning appropriate sessions relevant not only to their bodies but to their sport. Thank you, Sarah!

Working with Sarah has been invaluable….. I have integrated Sarah’s work into existing strength, movement prep, and recovery programmes, improving almost immediately the impact of these sessions. And most importantly the players are really buying into it. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah’s course to any Strength & Conditioning coach responsible for the physical preparation of professional footballers.

I had waited for a couple of years to do this course and it was absolutely worth the wait – so much knowledge and relevant application, Over the months it has shifted the way I approach teaching – not just to those involved in sport, but in open classes too. I can’t recommend it enough!

The gold standard of Yoga teaching has been set! I knew this course was exactly what I was looking for and it certainly surpassed my expectations. Once you have attended one of Sarah's courses you will be forever addicted to her emphatic style that is brimming with knowledge and the discipline of practice. Sarah is the most organised and professional Yoga Teacher I have ever ad the pleasure to meet with refreshing honesty about what yoga can and cannot do. THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!

Amazing course! Sarah’s knowledge of the subject is immense, and her course resources are top-class. Couple all this with real world personal experience, explanations and insights made for a truly exceptional course. One of a kind – if you have any interest in anatomy, movement or working with anyone involved in physical activity – do this course!

I spent five years looking for a course like this & it exceeded all my expectations: it was fantastic! I have always had both amateur & professional athletes in my classes & I wanted to learn how to tailor yoga- based programmes to their specific sports. I came away with a whole new way of assessing athletes & a whole new body of stability & flexibility exercises. Sarah delivers her wealth of knowledge & experience in a direct & accessible way. I gained so much.

As a personal trainer I felt there was a gap in my knowledge when it came to helping people with muscle imbalances, injuries and chronic inflexibility issues. This course has enhanced my knowledge of anatomy and given me a whole new repertoire of movements beneficial to my clients. It has been so incredibly useful and full of information on how to help ourselves and those around us to move better. It’s also fun, you get to meet great like-minded people, and come out with a recognised qualification. Thank you, Sarah and team!

10 out of 10!! This course was packed with high quality information. I am amazed how much knowledge I’ve gained since the very start. The assessments were a valuable part of my learning too and gave me great confidence to implement what I had learned.

As a physio I was looking for a course that kept me challenged and showed a different perspective of how to work with yoga and athletes...this was the course! Not only did it cover anatomy but a whole host of different topics - breathing, functional movement, how to work with athletes, how to pitch it, networking, how to assess and put together a program specifically for a certain sport or athlete. Can't recommend enough.

Sarah’s Sports Yoga course was a fantastic investment, from the quality and content of the course materials, the standard of knowledge and teaching, the further perspectives and experiences of assistant tutors, and the required assessments. Her approach and style is warm, welcoming, encouraging, positive and her knowledge of this material is outstanding.
Without a doubt worth every penny! Thank you and thank you again!

The accreditation has assisted my practice greatly, & has developed my understanding of movement control. The course has given me the foundation from which to devise & deliver my own routines to specifically meet the needs of the players I work with.

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!
