For You.
It all began with one question…
“Amy & Leslie, could you two guest teach the 20-hour anatomy portion of my yoga teacher training?”
“Thank you so much for thinking of us! But…”
They’d politely decline.
They were thinking of the following: “No way!”
It’s not because they couldn’t…
They’d both taught anatomy in the past.
They weren’t afraid to take on the challenge.
They’d be happy to co-Authored Yoga AnatomyThis has been the best.-Every yoga book sold on Amazon has been sold since its launch.
They didn’t travel because they were afraid of being rejected…
They each travel frequently to share their knowledge at conferences and workshops around the globe.
It wasn’t because they didn’t have enough material.
It was the Contrary problem.
After years of teaching anatomy and yoga, it was impossible to fit all that was necessary for a teacher of yoga into 20 hours.
They also teach four mega courses, totaling over 300 hours.
Despite their polite declines they continued to ask the question.
They kept believing that it was impossible to complete the task in just 20 hours.
Jusqu’à un jour…
They wondered if the question was not right for them…
“What if…
We Start With the assumption that we won’t be able to cover everything…
*That’s* the challenge…
Selecting the most crucial topics.
Refining. Distilling…
Hmmmmm….
How would it look if…
All our experiences, all our history and all the strands from our combined education could be taken.
The best we can offer each other…
Everything we have learned in our many years of yoga…
All the things we have learned from other disciplines in our teaching…
All our hopes and dreams for the next generation in yoga teacher training…
And storyboard the entire thing just like a movie so that each lesson is as efficient & effective as possible…
You can also interweave them with asana explorations, philosophy, science and kinesiology.
Anatomy is an important part of the story, but it’s most effective when understood in context.
We could make it happen! That In 20 hours?
They started to get excited…
This is the end result.
YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals has been used in over 200 Teacher Trainings all around the globe since then.
Our graduates have been teaching yoga in the professional world and working with private clients. They also expand their horizons through their own practice.
Each day we receive notes back from our students describing how the course has changed and opened their eyes for a wider range of possibilities.
We are told that their teaching is flexible and grounded because of this course.
They have also become more intimate, nuanced, diverse, and alive in their practices.
We were thrilled by the reception and the final results.
However, we had to refuse many students who inquired but were not part of any teacher training program.
We did not have the ability to provide support for students who wanted this course on their own.
After many requests, we started to wonder if perhaps we were asking the wrong questions. So we started re-Imagine it…

After many requests, we finally released a new version YogaAnatomy.net Essentials.-These are designed to be taken at home by you on your own.
You can now join our community and embark on your own transformation journey, even if this is not a training program at one of our partner schools.
Why should it be open to the public?
Our conviction was based on the teacher trainers and course graduates.
“This isn’t just for trainees – I’m learning so much!! It’s the perfect brush-up continuing-education course.”
“Amy & Leslie teach with so much nuance – there’s something new for me every time, even though I’ve taken a zillion CEU courses.”
“I never knew learning about anatomy could be so enlivening to my practice. My entire approach to yoga has become more curious, and my teaching is much more my own than it was before I started learning from Amy & Leslie. I wish I would have had this years ago!”
“Yahoo!! Finally!! I never knew that I actually liked anatomy! Amy & Leslie present this material in a way that I actually understand, and makes me excited to learn more. It’s not just about memorization with them. I only wish I would have had this course 15 years ago when I was in teacher training. Thank you!!!”
