The Anatomy Series with Gary Carter
(10/11 Weekends)
The Anatomy & Myofascial Series for Movement Teachers (Yoga, Pilates, Gyro, Contact Improvisation & Dance) and Personal Trainers, explores the anatomy of movement in relation to practice, movement analysis, 3-D work, and experiential anatomy. It will encourage teachers to ‘see’ their students more clearly, thus helping with rehabilitative issues. The course aims to help teachers take a flexible, intelligent approach to their specific field with individual students.
Gary Carter shows how a thorough knowledge of anatomy can help teachers to make intelligent choices about the way they teach their pupils. His workshops involve the use of props, illustrations, and hands-on work in class to help demonstrate the principles that underlie your movement practice. This course of experiential anatomy will run for ten weekends.
Why This Course Stands Out:

Why This Course Stands Out:
- International-level expertise: Gary Carter is a leading figure in global fascia education
- Year-long structure: Supports lasting integration—not just a “quick fix”
- Studio-neutral ethos: Open to all, regardless of where you teach
- Hands-on learning: Real-world movement analysis and application
- Functional & fascial anatomy focus: Directly relevant to movement teaching
- Practical tools: Enhance teaching language and develop a more embodied understanding of anatomy
- Guest teachers: Additional depth and perspective from respected specialists

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is for movement teachers, or students going through their teacher training. It’s also open to manual therapists who have a movement practice and want to explore the fascial anatomy of the human body a bit deeper.
WHAT SUPPORT DO I GET?
• In depth in-person fully comprehensive Fascial Anatomy tutoring at the 11 weekends of the course
• Access to mentorship/membershipexclusive to Anatomy Course students
• Continuous support via online Top Up sessions
• Free access to selected online support sessions for 6 months, plus 1 month free membership after the end of the course.
• Affordable payment plans to suit your budget
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF THIS COURSE?
Students will deepen their knowledge of Structural and Integrated Anatomy. This course will involve the concept of hands on touch skills, fascial touch, feel for fascial elasticity, experiential connected anatomy in relation to posture and function for movement in all modalities.
Knowledge: On completion of this course you will be able to:
YOUR SKILLS WILL ALSO INCLUDE:
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Modes of delivery for the course include lectures, theory, slide presentations, multimedia, 3d models and props, interactive practical and functional work, movement work, hands on work and touch skills, discussions and illustrations.
There are continuous assessments throughout the duration of the course with Journals to be kept on the experiences and learnings on the course, practical homework assignments, (no written homework) quizzes and presentations. The final 2 weekends create four days of body reading practices, a revision of the entire course with an ability to understand postural and movement imbalances and fluidity.
To qualify for this course you will need to have completed or almost completed a Teacher Training course in Yoga or other movement practice, with a daily movement practice as part of your routine. Some teaching experience is preferred but not essential. An assumed basic level of Anatomy is essential.
Important to note: this course does not come with a manual. It’s essentially an experiential course, and note taking is encouraged. You will emerge from this course having embodied what you have learned.

Knowledge: On completion of this course you will be able to:
- Understand the complexity of the human structure, how it evolved, and postural tendencies, and learn to see patterns and structure.
- Understand how the connective tissue system affects the body in general and specific movement, learning to body read in movement and stasis.
- Relate physical aspects of the body to the improvement of posture and movement quality
- Appreciate how body balance, from a structural viewpoint, is achieved
- Appreciate the inter-relationship between each system/network of the body
YOUR SKILLS WILL ALSO INCLUDE:
- Explaining and demonstrating your understanding of the physical structure of the body.
- Recognising postural deviations, restriction and imbalance of connective tissues within differing bodies.
- Analysing movement through a scientific base, which in turn can improve movement function.
