Who’s it for?
Yes that's right, your eyes do not deceive you, this workshop is FREE. You book your place and turn up, we teach you anatomy.
So whether you are an anatomy beginner or you just want to
brush-up for work or an exam, you're welcome to join us. No prior knowledge
of muscle anatomy or physiology
is required.
Although this is a stand-alone workshop, our unique Dissection Day is a great follow-up day.
We also run a bespoke workshop Getting Started In Anatomy which refreshes your knowledge of
anatomical terminology and the skeletal system. So if you have a group of 6 or more interested then be in touch.
Where you’ll train
For this workshop we’re in the beautiful Yoga Therapy Centre Islington, London.
A comprehensive workbook accompanies the day and a certificate of attendance is awarded.
