What yoga teachers have said about the Course.
Thanks so much for the course. What a great effort. The information was so well presented. I found the way everyone presented the information enabled me to absorb it readily. The course itself was a great example of your teaching of the importance of being part of a network of support — each presentation supported the other providing a well balanced understanding of the material covered.

“I have waited for forty years to see this happen, Science and Natural Therapies looking outside their own domains and working in harmony with one another. The Health of the Nation being their mutual aim. I do feel privileged to have been a participant in this first of its kind” - Adrienne H. Cook (Yoga Teacher, Doncaster, Victoria – Course Participant ).
“Many thanks and congratulations on delivering such a "well put together" course. I am very fussy about attending courses as I have often found them to be of no value ... however, I did find your course of great value and well worth the effort to attend given my current busy workload” - Yolanda Pettinato (Yoga teacher and author of Simply Yoga and Yolanda’s Meditation).
“Information given in a clear understandable way. Presenters excellent, demystifying medical languague …… It is so rare to have the medical profession really endorsing what we do” - Anon
"……..I found the course just fantastic. It was very juicy! The content was just so valuable and has given me plenty to work with and ponder upon. I would like to think that my students will benefit greatly, even the ones that do not have arthritis. Thanks again to you and your co presenters" - Joanne Jackett
"What was most useful was the practical knowledge on the screening of students, the adaptation of postures – which postures are best and how to progress students. Glad you looked at the whole person".
"Many thanks for organising such a bridging course. I have employed many of your lessons with greater empathy and understanding to a wide range of my yoga students" - Roslyn McNicol

How do I get the free Certificate of continuing education and claim my CPD points?
Once you have completed the Video Course you contact us.
We will then forward to you a self-assessment questionnaire. Once successfully completed and submitted you will receive the Certificate of Continuing Education issued by the Director of the Lewis Institute for Health and Wellbeing, Dr Daniel Lewis.
The course is accredited with the YTAA for 12 CME points and with Vic Fit for 6 CEC points.
Please note that neither viewing the course nor receiving the certificate for the course provides you with a formal qualification in arthritis or the authority to give medical advice. Both indicate however that you have been actively participating in and developing knowledge and skills in understanding arthritis and other bone and joint disorders that may then be applied by you in your role as a yoga teacher.
Who developed this Course?
The course was developed by an experienced and multidisciplinary team:
Dr Daniel Lewis - Rheumatologist
Laurie Lacey - Physiotherapist, yoga teacher, ergonamist
Bronwyn Farquahar - Occupational therapist
Robert Postlethwaite - Psychologist
This team has been working together in clinical practice and teaching a range of health professionals for over 15 years. They distilled their experience and knowledge into a course that was delivered to a group of 50 yoga teachers at Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne. The 12 hour DVD set was recorded during that course.
Each DVD module contains easy-to-understand, comprehensive, up-to-date information about arthritis and other bone and joint disorders. The information is practical made even more relevant through the use of demonstrations.
The course manual  provides a helpful ready-reference and easy-to-follow guide to the course.
Course Tuition Fee: $397 including GST and postage.

The 12 CPD points are simple to obtain once you have viewed the DVD's.
