Rave Review from Graduates!

  • Olivia M (Pilates Instructor)

    I enjoyed the amount of detail and depth that came along with this course. I felt like I was never left with any questions or wasn’t able to follow the course. The structure was amazing and Ayesha is so knowledgable!

    This course was exactly what I needed to enhance my skills as an instructor. The structure was seamless, making each concept easy to grasp and apply. I felt my confidence and expertise grow with every module—a must for anyone looking to elevate their teaching!

  • Melinda C (RYT, Yoga Therapist)

    Ayesha’s course is by far the most accessible and digestible delivery of functional anatomy I have taken within my years of consistent movement training. I initially believed my existing knowledge would exempt me, upon perusing the material I quickly realized that it would be an enormous disservice to myself & students to not thoroughly explore & work through the course. There is also no way I would have successfully succeeded in her MFR training without it. I am humbled and grateful for Ayesha’s obvious passion, professionalism, & exponential knowledge as a movement educator. I don’t have any comments for improvement- I was blown by the delivery and material.

  • Emily Hopkins (Somatic Bodyworker)

    This anatomy course is a no-brainer for any movement professional or bodyworker who's looking to get a deeper understanding of the body structures and functional movement patterns. I feel so much more confident in my own understanding and thus feel more comfortable on how to cue to the movement of the body in a way that makes sense and is more palatable to the average person. Learning anatomy in most courses you end up going through it so quickly; this was a true gift to come back to deepen my understanding of the body.

  • Tasha G (RYT-200)

    I LOVED Ayesha’s online anatomy course soooo much! I took YTT approximately 12 years ago & I REALLY learned SO MUCH MORE through her course! I’m blown away with her knowledge & expertise & that she’s NOT intimidating at all! She makes it so EASY to learn with her “Bones Jovi” (love that) & her breakdowns, repetitions & her genuine & authentic personality!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Iysha ❤️

  • Meg F (BSc Kin)

    This anatomy training is better than any university course I have ever taken and is very digestible!

  • Paola F (RYT-200)

    In addition to a previous anatomy course I have done, I found this to be an excellent course. The quality of the videos, thorough content, and inspiring instruction by Ayesha Nobes, made the program enjoyable and relevant. As a visual learner who benefits from repetition and in-person learning, I was impressed by this online course, as it was engaging and even more impactful, as I was able to learn at my own pace. The hard work you put into this program is evident and truly appreciated. This anatomy course has propelled my confidence in teaching both Pilates and Yoga.

  • Kayla Z (RYT-200)

    I loved Ayesha’s online anatomy course. As a new yoga instructor I found the knowledge very helpful and she did a great job of applying our learnings to specific yoga postures and exercises. She kept the modules short, to the point and engaging through the whole course. I love being able to refer to specific muscles and actions now when I teach!

  • Jennifer H

    Ayesha is so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the subject matter. She manages to breakdown anatomy to easy to digest videos and her use of repetition makes learning the material so much easier!

  • Colleen F

    I really enjoyed your delivery of the anatomy course. You kept things interesting, and although overwhelming at times, very manageable so as not to feel lost. Thank you for this!

  • Eliza A

    Thank you so much! It was a wonderful course, you can tell you love what you do 😊

  • Meaghan M

    I really enjoyed the course. It was honestly so interesting to learn everything and I appreciate you breaking each aspect and chapter down into bite-size pieces.

  • Bianca R (RYT-200)

    The in depth analysis of each unit in the course felt very unique. Ayesha’s passion for spreading this knowledge is evident! Put together beautifully, and navigating the videos/links were super user friendly!

  • Michaela Z

    I really appreciated how the lectures were broken down into short, concise videos. This made it really easy to stay engaged and interested in the material by breaking everything down into "bite-sized pieces". The order of the lectures was also very logical. I've done courses in the past that focus entirely on skeleton, then move on to muscles, etc., but I found it much easier to comprehend when we focused on one area of the body at a time. I also loved the practical elements, such as trying movements/poses to engage those muscles and the MFR classes.

  • Alexandra M (Holistic Bodyworker)

    Ayesha’s anatomy course has been incredible in building my understanding of the human body, and how I can apply this knowledge to my practice as a movement therapist. Her ability to take complex anatomical structures and their functionality and explain them in simple language makes learning anatomy much more accessible than learning from a textbook or other resources. She is a practitioner and teacher with a whole-person approach to holistic wellness, bringing a breadth of knowledge and experience through her own clinical practice. Her background and values really resonate with me, beyond this anatomy course, and I'll be continuing my education through her Myofascial Release program.

  • Victoria C (Pilates Instructor)

    Ayesha’s course is very learner-focused. I find her method combining videos and notes (in pdf) very effective. Her lectures are clear and well-paced for me. In the videos, I love that she also uses a skeleton model (Bone Jovi) to demonstrate different movements. In addition, I value the option to palpate select parts with demonstrations. Ayesha appears very personable, speaks clearly, and her voice is calm. She provides a recap/review at the end of each section which helps me remember. I feel reassured that I can learn anatomy. I completed the course successfully. I appreciate the option to access the course even after completion. Thank you so much, Ayesha!

  • Caroline D (RYT)

    AMAZING COURSE!! This anatomy course was by far the best I’ve ever taken. The depth of knowledge shared is incredible and made very applicable for teaching movement. I have taken anatomy courses before, but this course lays it out well, provides examples and review so you as the learner can understand great depth. I feel much more confident as a yoga/pilates teacher to speak to anatomy now.

  • Antonio M.G. (Pilates Instructor)

    The anatomy course was amazing! The videos are clear and concise and the focus is not exclusively on the names of bones and muscles, but on the specific applications of the theory to movement practices (yoga, pilates). It is very clear that the instructor (Ayesha) has deep knowledge and understanding of anatomy and movement practices, which allows her to make the content accessible for those of us new to the subject.

  • Samantha A (Pilates Instructor)

    I’ve taken two online anatomy courses previously and struggled to wrap my head around the vast amount of information that is in a 20hr anatomy course, but this one was different. Ayesha delivers all this info in such a well structured way, and in small digestible units that flow from one to the next with perfect cohesion. She gives you all the foundational information to make all the rest fall into place so easily without confusion. She is SO knowledgeable and gives so many extra little nuggets of valuable information. I felt really confident moving through this and finished feeling like I finally got it. Truly so grateful for this course and Ayesha’s endless knowledge and passion in teaching it.

  • Penny P

    I highly recommend this training and Ayesha’s work!

  • Mackenzie K

    I really enjoyed it. Such a great course! Very interesting and informative!

  • Kelly B

    This course is extremely detailed. I learned a lot.

  • Angela T (RYT)

    Very informative, so much information I learned so long ago but forgot so much, refreshing to re-learn. (Ayesha is) so confident in teaching, great sense of humour, easy to listen to. Loved this course.

  • Tara Kivlichan (RYT)

    This course was fabulous. The teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. I inhaled the material, and now still want more! I’m looking forward to taking the myofascial release course next!!!

  • Susan C (RYT)

    I enjoyed Ayesha’s easy yet professional approach to the different topics. I especially liked her constant review of terms & functions from previous lessons. I loved the practical lessons! The manual was a wonderful resource for reviewing what each lesson taught. As a senior student, I found the topics a bit daunting at first. However, as I got used to the format and to the ongoing reviews given at the end of each segment as well as references back to previous lessons, it was a pleasure to learn new things! I really enjoyed the practical lessons and have been doing one or more every day! It was a good to be reminded that diagnosis was not our job as Yoga teachers! Thank you.

She provided over 4700 patient sessions in her time at Embody Health Centre, through acupuncture/dry needling, soft tissue release and manual therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and yoga therapy.

In her time working in healthcare, Ayesha has witnessed first hand how rehabilitative movement exercises are a crucial part of treatment with patients to yield long-term and lasting results. The problem being that most patients forget to do their homecare, mainly because they lack access to quality content they could use in the comfort of their own homes.
