For those who dont have an anatomy or kinesiology background, the studio provides a Basics of Anatomy course to get you up to speed. Attending a minimum of 10 to 15 classically taught mat classes is strongly recommended, so that you can learn the technique of this balanced workout (total body workout) on a mat. Also, they help you to develop the ability to recognize proper body mechanics, so you can work with special clients who suffer from neck, back, knee or shoulder injuries. The course costs $450 - this includes classes, exams and one extra opportunity to re-test if necessary.
