Meet the team
Vics and Kathy, Osteopath, Sports Manual Therapist, Medical Acupuncturist and senior yoga teachers

The science of movement and the art of touch are our passion and we’re very excited to guide the next generation of yoga teachers looking to up level their hands on skills
Hands on adjustments are profound ways to elevate your students experience of the practice
Physical adjustments have many purposes beyond ‘correcting’ a pose. They serve to improve students’ proprioception, explore deeper expressions, stabilise, regulate the nervous system and much, much more
Gaining deeper anatomical knowledge is the key to reading bodies in motion, being able to assess when and how it is appropriate and finally offering a mindful, intelligent adjustment
With so many people reporting injuries from adjustments and yoga influencers often posting about avoiding this, we’re here to change the narrative
Whilst we will explore many poses, Vics and I have refined our technique in a way that means you will be equipped with a thorough understanding of considerations and exemplary technique to approach absolutely any pose on any body
This 15 hour anatomical journey of the body offers a deeper, applied understanding of anatomy and therefore how to offer safe, confident and transformational physical adjustments to your students
What our students are saying
I’m truly delighted with this training! Kathy and Vics are brilliant teachers, explained everything so well and managed to keep us engaged for the whole time. We all had so much fun practicing together and I came out of it feeling like a more knowledgable and experienced teacher, like I had much more to offer to my students. I really couldn’t recommend them more!

What a magical experience! I feel so much more confident adjusting students than I ever thought possible. Kathy and Vics gave me the skills and tools to thoughtfully give adjustments or assists in any situation. Couldn't recommend this course enough - three days of laughter, learning and connection with fellow teachers was just what I needed after completing my 200hrs online. Thank you!!!!

I really felt my confidence as a yoga teacher grow, thanks to this course. I trained exclusively online, so never learnt about assisting, and I discovered it was so much more than getting people into the "correct" positions. This is for you if you want to give your students an experience to remember
