FAQ
-
Do I need to have any prior knowledge of biology before taking this course?
No! This is an entry level course and no prior knowledge is assumed. Everything is explained, and you can ask questions in the discussion if you get stuck.
-
I've studied A&P/biology in the past. How is this course different?
This course will invite you to look at the human body in a more wholistic way than traditional anatomy teaching. It will also relate what you learn specifically to yoga practice. So as well as revision of topics you are familiar with, you will add a further layer of understanding by looking at it from a different perspective. There are also some optional additional links for further reading, should you wish to expand your study in each section.
-
Is this course a good preparation for yoga teacher training?
Yes. In fact this course a pre-requisite for some yoga teacher training courses. It prepares you with a foundation in basic anatomy. This will inform the applied anatomy you will learn in your teacher training, as you explore yoga postures in depth.
-
Can I take this course more than once?
Yes! Once subscribed you can come back and repeat the course as many times as you like. It also provides a useful reference for revision. You have access for the lifetime of the course, and if we add anything in the future, we'll let you know.
