Testimonials:
“Martin's Anatomy and Therapy Training is fantastic! He is exceptionally skilled at deciding what is most important and as a result his teaching is focused, succinct, and clear. He has a wealth of knowledge and practical examples of how the body functions, as well as how to apply the Universal Principles of Alignment to help clients move out of pain, improve posture, and learn techniques to stabilize their body in healthy patterns."– Betsey Downing, Ph.D., E-RYT500 – Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor
“Thank you for letting me volunteer today. I was going to stay for a bit but I was so overwhelmed by the joy I felt after your therapy that I needed time to let it all sink in. You reminded me that the universal laws of alignment can help and that I need to keep going in order to feel better. I hope the rest of the weekend goes as well for you as the brief bit of volunteering went for me." –Tim – Vancouver 2010
"Thank you again for such a wonderful training. As I said upon my departure, the training exceeded my expectations. I learned wonderful things through all the creative therapeutic adjustments you developed. I have clearer 'anatomical' images of how the UPA's actually work in the body now. What a wonderful community of yogis you have created through your fantastic training sessions." – Janie F.– Napa Valley, CA Anusara Certified teacher
“I want to thank you for the specialized attention I received from you for my arthritis in my hips and back and my degenerative spondylolisthesis: the hip scouring and all sorts of help at adapting hip openers. I got up Sunday morning with no joint pain; that's a general treat but also a post-yoga treat. I will continue to work with what you taught me."– Linda – Minneapolis 09

1. Gorgeous pink sunsets and blossoming sage flowers.
2. Learn therapeutic alignment techniques that will forever change your yoga teaching or bodywork practice, not to mention how you think of your own body.
3. See and be inspired by the majestic saguaro cactus. They are hundreds of years old and only grow in the Sonoran Desert, a small portion of Arizona and Mexico.
4. Delve into an exploration of the human body with a former rocket scientist! Martin brings both exquisite science and a deep reverence for grace (both cultivated during his time working for NASA) to his teaching of anatomy.
5. Walk the grounds while enjoying the absolutely exquisite art work, water features and musical bells.
6. Set a powerful intention for your life and teaching in the beautiful and serene Memorial Garden
7. Hear the silence of the desert broken only by crying of a coyote in the distance. All the space and silence of the landscape will support you in going deep within to connect with the teacher inside.
8. See desert wildlife like the Cactus Wren, Gambel's Quail and magical hummingbirds.
9. Learn how therapeutics is a natural extension of Anusara's Universal Principles of Alignment. At the training, you'll get to feel them in your own body with a vigorous morning asana practice AND learn how to use them with students and clients.
10. Begin lifelong friendships with fellow yogis as you study together and enjoy lunch outdoors in the radiant sunshine.
11. This training is held at St. Barnabas on the Desert, a perfect setting for reflection, discussion, discovery and growth.
