“ Melanie teaches from a place of authenticity and passion for the health and the science of the body, her videos and online teaching was a real gift, because it made anatomy enjoyable and easy to attain. I love how the videos and quizzes were always available to use in between the teaching sessions where we got to bring it all together, it felt like the information was being reiterated and secured. Melanie’s teaching felt progressive because there was a mention of how we used to think about isolating the body but now we think of it more as the whole structure working as one. Awesome reading material to consider in relation to the practical application. ”

" Melanie is so knowledgeable about anatomy, and obviously passionate about it. She made learning anatomy way easier than I would have expected. I would probably never have touched upon anatomy without her. I now feel ready to learn more about the subject. "

" Melanie was great, really loved the experience of anatomy yoga flow and her way of transfering knowledge applied to practice. The content was evidence-based and accessible for different levels of students. "

What an amazing course! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Really really useful, I LOVED the Yoga Nidras too and its already helped my teaching.
