AVI is pleased to offer our students and alumni an opportunity to take the YogaAnatomy.net Principles On-Line Course with Leslie Kaminoff for a special discount.

Kaminoff’s YogaAnatomy.net Principles Course has helped teachers and practitioners from yoga, dance, Pilates, and somatic therapy backgrounds improve their teaching, enhance their personal practices, and provide better experiences for their students and clients. Previously available only to students live at his studio, The Breathing Project in New York City, you can now enroll in the course online.

As a graduate of this course, you will enhance your teaching, protect your students, and deepen your personal practice with a comprehensive understanding of how the human body actually works.

Leslie Kaminoff’s teaching is inspired by his studies with T.K.V. Desikachar, T. Krishnamacharya’s son.

How you’ll learn in this course…

The three twelve-week trimesters cover the essentials of Yoga Anatomy from the perspective of the breath, the spine, and the limbs. The core concepts of yoga: prana/apana, sthira/sukha, brhmana/langhana serve as a lens through which the vast subject of anatomy becomes focused, fascinating and immensely practical.

Because the course focuses on grasping fundamental concepts, rather than memorizing endless details, students can easily embody the material and put it to practical use immediately. In addition, there is a high level of student interactivity through questions, demonstrations and homework assignments.

Build an Encyclopedic Knowledge of Yoga Anatomy in Three Trimesters

We offer full support, personalized homework interactions, and access to a like-minded community as you work your way through the material.

This course is offered entirely online, but if you decide to print out all the documents and save hard copies of the videos, above is what your resource collection will look like.

We will send you links to download binder covers, inserts, and the foundation of your library. You’ll fill it out with class notes, observations, downloadable class transcripts, and reminders of your own journey. (You will receive all materials in digital, not hard copy.)
