I really enjoyed this course and it has given me added information and insight for planning my own exercise classes. I have been teaching older adults since 2018 and I am just starting to introduce more Yoga based movements into the classes. My clients really love it! I thought Chris was refreshingly authentic and I enjoyed his lectures. I am now moving onto the Life Coaching Course. Love adding to my skills! Thank you Chris.

GREAT COURSE. Material was easy to understand and was easy to put into practice. A good course for both beginners and those who already teach fitness and health classes. Covers all basic requirements, teaches safety and anatomy without overwhelming the student. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I learned a lot while taking it and I think I’m on my way to improving my own yoga skills as well as being capable of building classes. I did find that some of the steps went a little too fast, prompting me to go back and rewatch a few times. Overall, excellent experience.

Very basic introduction to Yoga, a good start if you are unfamiliar with yoga! If you are an experienced yogi, maybe look for something more challenging
