I had very high expectations for this course, as Sarah is well known for Sports Yoga. This course far exceeded those high expectations I had. Incredibly well run, with plenty of support and advice. Sarah created a challenging and thoroughly rewarding course, equipping us with the anatomy, skills and confidence needed to teach amateur and professional athletes. I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.

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. I’ve increased my knowledge greatly, especially in assessing individual athletes and planning appropriate sessions relevant to their bodies and to their sport. Thank you, Sarah!

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 had the pleasure to meet, with refreshing honesty about what yoga can and cannot do. THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 have learned an incredible amount & the course has really enhanced my teaching as well as enabled me to set up tailor made classes focussing on yoga for cyclists & runners.

Sarah’s vast knowledge, expertise & experience in the area are very evident. I was able to take the principles & techniques learned on the course & implement them into my daily sessions with players from day one.

I would strongly advise any fitness professional responsible for the physical development of atheltes to complete this accreditation. The content of the course provides an excellent framework for the development of mobility, movement control and functional strength.

I enrolled on the Body Athletic Sports Yoga course so that I could better understand a group of athletes I was already working with & to consolidate my existing knowledge. Sarah’s course has given me so much more information & insight than I could have ever imagined. I learnt so much in every session & started using my new-found knowledge straight away in all the classes I was teaching. Sarah’s knowledge, experience & enthusiasm made each session really varied, interesting & very enjoyable. I looked forward to every lesson & learnt so much, & I really feel this has made me a significantly better teacher. I’m excited to see where I can go with this now.

The Accreditation certainly developed me as a physiotherapist. It has significantly enhanced my understanding of motor control & techniques to improve flexibility within functional ranges for athletes. I feel more competent & specialised in the delivery of injury prevention regimes for the sporting population which I will continue to use throughout my career.

The Body Athletic is a superb course! I initially signed up for the anatomy content which was superb. I also came away very well equipped to teach yoga within a range of sports. Sarah has such a wealth of knowledge and I learned so much each weekend. And I made great friends and contacts along the way too. Overall, great fun!

Invaluable! The course has given me everything I wanted and much more. I am more than excited and confident to start working with athletes. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you, Sarah and I’ll be back for any other courses you run in the future.

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 Body Athletic course was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I have gained so much insight and knowledge into how to effectively and safely teach Sports people through Yoga. I feel 100% more confident when working alongside athletes and supporting them in reaching their goals. I loved the language used, and the intelligence behind the sequencing. Sarah's knowledge and passion for the course shines throughout, and I can't recommend it high enough- in fact I have already signed up to Sarah's next training course!

Extremely thorough, well-structured and, most importantly, relevant to working with athletes. It provides the necessary framework to have the confidence and targeted skills to work with athletes of every level.

It was fascinating to learn about anatomy from a different perspective and I really did learn an incredible amount. It was never a factor that I’m not a yoga teacher and I was able to fully join in without feeling out of place. It has definitely had a profound effect on my work and how I see the body. Excellent.

The Body Athletic course has made me really think about my own personal practice and my day-to-day teaching in new ways. It has given me practical framework to apply to real world people in real life situations. Sarah is a generous, thorough and knowledgeable course leader and I heartily recommend the course!

The course was exactly what I hoped it would be and has encouraged and equipped me to work safely with athletes. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge of the body athletic and working as a professional in sport. Thank you to you and to all the wonderful teaching assistants.

This course far exceeded my expectations and I am incredibly grateful for Sarah’s willingness to share her experience of working with professional athletes, and her ability to communicate her knowledge with such enthusiasm and insight. I have had my doubts about some of the postures and the extreme ROM taught in some yoga disciplines (having experienced injuries myself) and Sarah’s thoughts on this were such a breath of fresh air. She has instilled confidence in my ability to teach and safe and effective classes and understand the importance of sequencing for the people you have in your class.

This course has far exceeded my expectations! The combination of Sarah’s knowledge, practical application and ability to develop your own thinking around sports movements and intervention management was superb! I now feel confident in my ability to safely guide sports people through yoga programmes to meet their individual and specific sport requirements.

I have learned so much from The Body Athletic course! It is informative, detailed, and very applicable to working with sports people. Particularly I have developed skills where I personally felt I had struggled, and have come out feeling so much more positive. Thank you, Sarah and Helpers!

INFORMATIVE, DETAILED AND USEFUL! I’ve learned so much from The Body Athletic course which I have already applied working with athletes. Sarah is warm, encouraging, and really knows her stuff – thank you!

Sarah is an amazing course tutor! Her knowledge and the way she delivers the course really impressed me. She knows her stuff!!I feel I have learned so much and grown in confidence. Thanks to Sarah I can now take my new skills into the real world. I’ve also signed up for Sarah’s next course, which I can’t wait to start!

Sarah is a hugely knowledgeable and engaging teacher. I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to others.

I would hugely recommend this course! It has given me the knowledge needed to teach any sporting population and the skills to apply it.

Sarah Ramsden has had a huge impact on my knowledge of movement and how to deliver it as a coach to a wide range of athletes and personalities. she encourages curiosity to question what has previously been done and to seek simple, safe, science-based options for the greatest benefit. The course is brilliantly structured, practical, human and hands-on and i look forward to furthering my studies with Sarah in the future.

Sarah's Yoga for Athletes has dramatically changed how I teach yoga. Sarah has such a wealth of experience working with athletes and shares her knowledge in a fun, engaging and practical way. I always leave a training weekend with new techniques and ideas to use in my classes and I feel confident putting my new skills to use. Sarah and her teaching staff are really friendly and supportive. It is a demanding course so be prepared to work hard - Sarah ahs high standards for herself and her students!!

Although this was a very intense and full-on course to do with a stressful life, working and running a household, I have no regrets and I’m so pleased I did it! I’ve learned so much form Sarah. She is extremely knowledgeable and I feel really confident with what I’ve learned on the course. I really recommend this course to anyone looking to work with athletes.

Sarah's Yoga for Athletes course stretched me and challenged me to educate myself much more around essential concepts in running and running coaching. There is a lot of information in this course, but by the end when your present your project, the different threads of learning have really cemented themselves into your learning so that you can bring them into your everyday work, benefitting all. As a runner and athlete it has also helped me re-think my own training and has been really helpful.

Prior to this course I had a level of understanding of functional anatomy mainly relating to yoga. This course has opened my eyes to so many things and I now feel more knowledgeable and better equipped to teach anybody that comes to my classes and tailor postures and sequences to suit them. I thought it would be all about football, but I feel that I could teach and work with athletes / sports groups across the board and feel knowledgeable and confident in my ability.
I really enjoyed the course! I learned such very valuable information that I can apply – and have applied – to my teaching. I feel much more confident about analysing ROM and identifying areas of concern. I also feel I would be confident to go into any sport and be able to apply these principles to identify sport / individual requirements, and to work with an athlete to improve flexibility and stability. Thank you!

Participating in The Body Athletic revolutionised my attitude to yoga teaching. Not only do I have deeper anatomical understanding, but I also have far greater confidence in myself and in my teaching style. It validated and enhanced my basic knowledge of how yoga relates to key principles of strength, flexibility, functional movement and mindfulness as they relate to sport. Sarah’s approach is straight-forward, scientific, rigorous, methodical and thorough.
She skilfully combines her passion and knowledge of yoga with respect and understanding of the world of professional sport and individual athletic endeavour. I never imagined my great passions of yoga and sport would find such a meaningful way to combine and that here would be an accreditation to reflect the discipline of sports yoga.
I think… I hope(!)… it has changed my life.

A fascinating and in-depth course delivered in a straight-forward and easy to understand way. Sarah is hugely knowledgeable and a really skilful teacher, passionate about movement and educating others about good quality movement in sport. I’ve learned more that I imagined I would and it has already given me the confidence and ability to deliver relevant and engaging classes. I can’t wait to do more! Thank you, Sarah. This was a brilliant experience and has helped me so much.

This is an excellent course – very thorough in content and well organised and well delivered. A great investment in continuing education for yoga teachers interested in teaching athletes and yoga for sports.

The course far exceeded my expectations, which were already high! Sarah’s knowledge and experience is so extensive and the way she delivers is engaging and interesting – I could listen to her for hours, absorbing all her knowledge and wisdom.

This course has fundamentally changed the way I teach, and it has given me far more confidence to deliver well structured and relevant classes to my students. Attendance at the yoga class I run has doubled since I took over and started teaching sports yoga – very much due to the content and interventions being so relevant and effective for athletes.
I’ve enjoyed this course immensely and am so glad I did it – for my learning, confidence and teaching as well as for what I can now deliver to my students.

If you want to become a better teacher, this is the Go-To course! Sarah’s training is superb. My knowledge of anatomy, functional movement and stability has significantly improved. I feel a much better teacher and now I have taken - and passed - this course it has already modified how I teach with positive responses in my classes.

A fascinating and in-depth course where participants are sure to learn a vast amount that isn’t typically covered in yoga teacher training. Relevant not just to those thinking of teaching athletes, but to students of all types. Superbly and expertly taught – professional approach in a positive atmosphere.

Looked for a course for a long time which focused on yoga for athletes / in sport…..This course is AWESOME! I loved the focus on evidence. Thank you so much 🙂

Fantastic course which gave really applicable knowledge to take into the real world, including ROM (and how to work individual with students), stability (including scapula) and personalised sequences. Lots of application and homework which really reinforced everything. I’ve left confident and excited to put it into action.

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.

I have learned an enormous amount about the importance and relevance of teaching correct functional movement /patterns for flexibility, strength and endurance of the life of the athlete. I feel confident in taking what I have learned into my role as a yoga teacher, not only helping my students in class but also in making me a better practitioner myself. This is all down to Sarah and her team, who teach from the heart, with great knowledge and kindness, providing information in a coherent and logical way, allowing time for discussion, absorption and reflection. It really is a wonderful course and a great specialist qualification to have, and I highly recommend it.

The Body Athletic course was even better and more useful than I expected it to be (and my expectations were high). Sarah appears to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and yoga which she communicates with great passion. The course materials are superb, and I am sure that I will be using them for inspiration for many years to come. The structure of the workshops was great. Effectively, we had 5 tutors each weekend who all helped us and shared their understanding of Functional Yoga with us. Part of the course had to be delivered online. Despite this, Sarah prepares everything so thoroughly that all the course content was covered and all questions were answered. As regards teaching materials, delivery, assessment procedures and supplementary reading, this is the best course that I have attended in a very long time.

I knew this course was exactly what I was looking for after attending a taster session at the Om Yoga show. The course certainly surpassed my expectations. From the unique insight that Sarah gives to the interesting people on the course.
As a Sports Physiotherapist, I know the importance of postural correction and body awareness when performing Yoga to avoid injury. Sarah is a true master of these reasons behind the postures. Having worked in professional Football for as long as Sarah did, is an achievement in its own right. However, Sarah takes this knowledge to the next level with excellent teaching on breathing and core stability that can benefit any athlete.
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 had the pleasure to meet. With refreshing honesty about what Yoga can and cannot do, this is the course for you.
The gold standard of Yoga teaching has been set.

This has been an amazingly well-structured course delivered by an extremely dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable practitioner and trainer. Sarah’s planning and the course structure is of very high quality and caters for a wide range of learning styles incorporating: lecture, discussion, practical- first being taught, and then teaching, observing and evaluating, working in pairs, small and larger groups. The teacher assistants, who had all previously undertaken the course and were practioners, were extremely supportive in assisting our learning. The reading list was wide ranging and has helped inform both my personal practice and teaching. I teach yoga in a wide range of settings- 121’s, gym, health and fitness centres and community halls- and I have been able to incorporate elements of my learning into each setting: whether it be to those very active 25year olds or less active 80 year olds- they have all benefited.
Sarah expected 100% from participants and gave that and more- if that is possible- always willing to support you on your learning path. I can thoroughly recommend this course to you.

Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She is able to present her material in a way that eliminates anyone from feeling embarrassed about their own knowledge level. Sarah wants everyone to succeed & is also keen to see her students personally grow. She takes pride in helping her students make the necessary changes to increase their own ROM and is always available with individualised and pertinent suggestions.
I would strongly recommend this course to any fitness professional who is interested in helping their clients improve their personal range of movement, their stability and their flexibility.

I signed up to do The Body Athletic course with Sarah for two reasons - first to deepen my knowledge of anatomy in the context of yoga & secondly as a yoga teacher my interest in to introduce yoga to athletes & sports people as their bodies are so often out of balance.
The course completely fulfilled my wishes & as a bonus I have emerged as a more confident & improved teacher of general yoga.

The course helped me to develop a much better understanding of movement theoretically & practically. There is a good balance of anatomy & movement study with practice teaching. Sarah’s common sense approach to teaching & her wealth of knowledge & experience are a winning combination. The course is very practical, we learned how to analyse movements in sports, how to spot potential issues & how to use yoga & other movement disciplines to avoid injury. The course has changed the way that I teach & practice yoga. I would highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in sport who wants to develop their understanding of movement & use this knowledge in a practical way.

I would warmly recommend Sarah's Yoga for Athletes to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of yoga and anatomy and provide safe, personalised yoga practices to anyone, but athletes in particular. While the the course is perfect for athletes, I use lots of my new knowledge and skills with general yoga classes - most people have some sort of restriction in their bodies and the course supports you as a teacher to deliver classes that are safe and really beneficial. Some of what you learn may feel controversial and surprising, but it will benefit you and your clients!!!
