What students say...
I completed the anatomy course a couple of years ago with Gary, in Glasgow. It is in no way an overstatement for me to say that Gary's teachings, information and in depth knowledge has very much influenced how I manage my own body, and greatly influenced my teaching in yoga classes!

Gary has been teaching CPD days for the British Wheel of Yoga since 2004, and his days are always a sell-out, testimony to his skilful teaching and his ability to bring the inside of the body alive within our minds. He has kept at the forefront of fascial research so his topics are continually revised with new learning. He relates the anatomy within to our yoga practice in simple terms so we can embody that learning in detail within.

Hi Gary. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the day on CST and yoga practice. I really loved the time I spent with you ....I just wanted to give you feedback as I taught the cranial base release in all my classes last week and they loved it. Postures were far better, hardly any adjustments needed and at the end of relaxation faces full of Light. What more could anyone ask for? So a big thank you. You are a star amongst teachers... Shirley, BWY
"Although Gary's work had been recommended to me for some time it's only this year that I got to his classes and workshops when they transferred online. I feel very lucky to have had the chance to experience the teaching, which has supported me through an accident in which I fractured my cocyx in the early part of the pandemic. There is a lot of practical help and guidance, inspiring discussions and demonstrations, and a generosity and richness in how things are presented.I love the sense of being in a community, even when we are all in our seperate spaces online. Fantastic, inspiring , profound, beautiful and memorable teachings.
Thanks!" -Malka Rosenberg

For me Gary has provided the experiential and intellectual fabric that underpins the work of Vanda Scaravelli……..an approach I have been exploring for over 25 years. Gary brings it all together in a way that is seamless and accessible to suit any level of student. No one is left behind or is made to feel inadequate. Gary has a deep respect for all of his students - meeting them where they are at any given moment, without judgement. If you have the courage to trust in the ground, in the breath and in something much much deeper, Gary will lead you slowly and surely to places you would not consider possible….to an understanding of your body and your being that is beyond words. And then it is almost as if he lets you go and you are on your own. That is where the practice begins. Thank you Gary for your guidance and wisdom. -Judy Cameron
Having completed the BWY teaching diploma and other anatomy courses during my 18 years of teaching, I am not a newcomer to anatomy in yoga. However, I have not really felt I have been able to utilise my “classroom anatomy” very effectively in my yoga practise and teaching. This is what I call “The missing link”. S.

On completing Gary Carter's Yoga and Anatomy Series for Teachers I feel much more comfortable with the anatomy of my practise. Gary's extensive knowledge and experience have really come through in his teaching which is both compassionate and skilful. His use of visual aids, skeletons, bones, metaphors for muscular and fascial structures is simply outstanding. Gary's response to a vast number of questions was particularly skilful in that he managed to build his answers into the flow of the session and still manage to achieve his teaching objectives.
I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who wants to increase their understanding of anatomy in yoga. For me Gary has definitely provided the missing link!

I met Gary Carter at the British Fascial Symposium in his early morning session.
I was very quickly absorbed with the ease of movement, he cued, from a biomechanical / fascial perspective.
I immediately enrolled onto Natural Bodies myofascial movement training for Pilates and gyrotonics teachers. ( Gary also runs the course for yoga teachers ) I had found where I wanted to be in my learning!!!
Having qualified in Pilates and KMI structural bodywork, I was well used to thinking about fascia and the Anatomy Trains. I knew I could feel the fascial continuity through my own body. I have been practicing and teaching Pilates for over 20 years.
Gary Carter took this learning onto another level altogether, combining the whole, intuitive, intergraded body from the deepest point out and beyond the extremities.
The course has given me a richer understanding of how the body, not only works, but moves.
Gary also keeps right up to date with his learning, so his courses are forever evolving.
I can’t recommend this course highly enough. It will change the way you think and teach forever.
