What Graduates Are Saying:

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 ❤️
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
