Tasha G (RYT-200)

I LOVED Iysha’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 ❤️
Olivia M

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 Iysha 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!
Penny P (RYT-200)

I love the course! So good! And I LOVE that you talk about the pelvis. I did a massive anatomy course in university and when I got my nutrition degree and the pelvis was barely mentioned!
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 Iysha 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 Iysha’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

“Iysha 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!”
Chelsey L

“This course was great! Iysha made it super fun to learn anatomy and she definitely knows her stuff!”
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 Running (RYT-200)

The in depth analysis of each unit in the course felt very unique. Iysha’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

Iysha'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

Iysha'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. Iysha 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, Iysha!
Antonio M.G.

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 (Iysha) 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

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. Iysha 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 Iysha’s endless knowledge and passion in teaching it.
Meg F (BSc)

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