    Absolutely wonderful course that made science easier for me to digest when combined with the yoga! A great balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I highly recommend this for not just yoga teachers, but anyone interested in learning about internal systems and how to better manage stress, pain, and overall wellness.

    This course is very informative. I love how the lessons were supplemented by interviews of experts in the field of science, and included a lot of research papers to read and review, and yoga practices that are centered on the week's topic. This course has definitely enriched my practice as a student and teacher of yoga.

    A very interesting course giving a good overview of how Yoga is beneficial to the overall health and well being of an individual. The correlation of the physiological background and the videos explaining how to do and vary the asanas as per individual capacity is highly informative and easy to understand.

    I enjoyed it thoroughly! I had no idea there has been so much research done on the benefits of Yoga! Learned and reviewed useful anatomy and physiology; the poses presented are not hard at all and oriented towards beginners, it's an accessible introduction. Big thanks and congrats to the professors!

    This course was amazing! I had no idea that yoga, mindfulness and meditation could so positively impact the many systems of the body. I better understand my body and its responses and with this knowledge I feel much better enthused to make changes that matter.

    That was an extraordinarily comprehensive course - it must have taken you AGES to conceptualise and realise. Thank you so much for the course, it was brilliant and will be very useful to my daily practice, and also to my work as a clinician.

    Well designed course. Learned a systematic way of doing yoga. simplifying the poses where one is not able to do. Looking forward to the advanced module to this if you have any plans. The best part was learning scientific aspects.

    I've learnt a lot in this course. It's not just for yogis. It teaches you simple ways to get mindfulness and relaxation and the science behind it.

    You can learn from a renowned yoga guru and an NYU Professor who's also a yogi.
