What People Are Saying:

I very much appreciated the academic research references to back up and connect what we do on the mat. Thank you for a very informative and insightful session!

-B.G. participant

Thanks so much for such a helpful workshop. It exceeded my expectations and I feel that I have a much better sense for what is going on in my body. (I can finally put all of the pieces together!).

-R.P. Participant

Liz Duncanson’s course is a remarkable blend of physiotherapy, athletic training and yoga. I would recommend this to health care professionals/yoga therapists who appreciate a deep dive into core anatomy and physiology with a substantial dose of yoga philosophy. Liz’s evidence-based presentation includes detailed images as well as active practical drills, making it engaging from start to finish. If you are considering an online training module, this is time and money well-spent. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
