"“This was really interesting. I never really stopped to think that the core went beyond the abdominal region before; it made me realise how we use the term so loosely in yoga. I like the idea of imagining it as an apple core with its 360 function. Good explanation of the relationship between stability and strength."

 
Fiona, on Movement Science Essentials, Core module

"It has really changed my approach to teaching. It was great to understand some of the science and evidence behind these different and new movements and how that translates into the body and mind."
