" Anatomy with clay will change the way you look at anatomy forever. I have taken anatomy classes before, but this workshop really made sense of the material. Seeing the body three dimensionally and incorporating the movements of each muscle, has allowed both my body and mind to retain the material better. And Doris Pasteleur Hall was incredible. Her teaching was ingenious; thorough and inspiring. Everyone in the bodywork field should take advantage of this amazing opportunity."
