You're Putting Your Heart And Soul (Not To Mention Your Hours And Finances) Into Your Teacher Training So Your Students Will Smile Like This...

Leading a successful Yoga Teacher Training Program can be one of the most exhilarating, emotionally rewarding, and financially sustaining parts of your life as a yoga teacher.

Planning a Yoga Teacher Training, though, is often a stress-provoking, anxiety-raising, project-wrangling nightmare.

You want the best for your students' education in all areas of their training, but there is a LOT to cover...

Let's Be Honest... We Know That The Anatomy Component Of A YTT Is The Part The Majority Of Teacher Trainers And Students Dread The Most

So it's time to ask yourself an important question about the anatomy component of your training...

Do You Want It To Look Like This…

Or This?

Leslie & Amy are making their teachings available to teacher trainings worldwide, as they discuss in this short video (1:40):

We've invested over 3 years and $100,000 in this course so you can bring in world-renowned Yoga Educators Leslie Kaminoff & Amy Matthews to deliver the anatomy component of your Teacher Training

YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals is the only online + in-person yoga anatomy course that is specifically designed for beginning yoga teachers. This unique course was created to plug directly into your 200-hour program, and we’ve worked hard to ensure it’s the best of its kind.  

We know what it takes to run a successful yoga teacher training program, and we want to support you in your efforts to give your students the most accessible, memorable, and enjoyable experience possible.

Our unique online trainings are already in use by The American Viniyoga Institute, The Yoga Institute of Australia, and The Africa Yoga Project. To date, we’ve served hundreds of students in 46 countries, with excellent results. 

"Best in class"

We Connect With Your Students Directly To Lay A Firm Foundation At Home...

Students will have access to a members-only website with 20 hours of yoga anatomy fundamentals training. This training is delivered primarily in online streaming video format, with printable handouts and visuals.

You set the schedule for when students need to move through the material, and we'll support them as they work through each unit. At home, we'll guide them through the assigned lessons, furnish worksheets, assign reading, and encourage movement exercises to help them begin to embody the material.

By the time they show up to class, all your students will have a strong start on that unit's material and a shared vocabulary that you can build upon with your group time.

We include 10-hours of lesson plans so you'll feel confident to lead the corresponding in-class anatomy hours.

This training covers 100% of the required content of a Yoga Alliance-approved YTT Program. (20 hours online + 10 hours in class.)

Now You Can Spend Your In-Class Time On Physical Application...

Integrating this course with your teacher training is simple, and we've designed it to be flexible. You may choose to follow our 10-unit curriculum, or customize the content based on what's best for your training. (We'll help you figure out the best fit for you...)

If your training is spread out over a long period of time, students can watch one or two units at home between each group meeting, and you'll follow-up in class with the corresponding activities to help concretize the material. (Use the lesson plans we provide, or create your own!)

If your training is an intensive, students can watch the entire program before they arrive so you'll be able to spend all your group time as skillfully as possible.

In either case, your students can watch each lesson at home on their own time so you don’t spend valuable in-class time covering concepts and terminology.

Instead, you'll be free to spend your 10 in-class hours discussing the ideas, completing physical explorations, and diving deeper into how the concepts intersect with your tradition.

The Best Teachers Are Life-Long Students...

Included in the YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals support package is a full membership for you to Leslie’s advanced YogaAnatomy.net Principles* online training, ensuring continuing education for you as well as access the the resource we recommend to any teacher of teachers.

You'll also receive our best discount on any further YogaAnatomy.net or EmbodiedAnatomy.net courses you want to sign up for in the future. By becoming a Fundamentals Teacher Trainer partner, we ensure you have the best access to your continuing education for life.

*Let us know if you're already enrolled in Principles, or would rather apply this package discount to one of our other advanced offerings.

"Leslie and Amy's YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals gives our teacher trainees a thorough grounding in anatomy while allowing us to maximize our classroom time.

Each lesson is enlightening and clear, with direct application both to our work as a group and to students' continuing exploration.

I highly recommend it to any teacher training director."

"How many hours of anatomy does the Yoga Alliance require?"

The new Yoga Alliance requirements specify 30 hours of anatomy for 200-hour trainings, 20 of which can be online. This program provides 30 hours of anatomy (20 online hours, and 10 in-class hours.)

We are currently the only online program that covers all 30 hours of this Yoga Alliance requirement.

"Do you have a course plug-in for 500-hr trainings?"

If your 500-hour students have not already had this training, we believe that it's still a great fit for a 500-hour training. If your 500-hour students have already gone through the Fundamentals program, we do partner with specialized Teacher Training programs for group rates to our larger courses, so drop us a note and we'll chat! [email protected]

"As the lead teacher of the training, do I enroll just once, or each time?"

As the lead instructor, you enroll just once for the YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals package and receive lifetime access for yourself. For each additional training you use this course, you'll only be responsible for the per-student enrollment.

"How long does my enrollment last? Does it expire?"

There are two types of enrollments for Fundamentals:

1. Your initial enrollment when you become a Fundamentals Partner School, plus
2. Each individual student's enrollment that you'll activate us when you're ready for your students to have access to the program.

Your Teacher Trainer enrollment is good for a lifetime - it never expires. That means you use the program to lead a training now and every year for the next 50 years, or just use it once and use it for your own reference afterwards. (Your Teacher Trainer enrollment covers you.)

Student enrollments for the Fundamentals program last for one calendar year, or for the duration of your training, whichever is longer.

"How is this different than Leslie & Amy's other online courses?"

This course, YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals, is a 20-hour course, co-taught by Amy & Leslie, that was created specifically to be presented in partnership with Teacher Training programs. Leslie's other courses: YogaAnatomy.net Principles and YogaAnatomy.net Practices, and Amy's other courses: EmbodiedAnatomy.net Bones and EmbodiedAnatomy.net Muscles, are much longer courses, designed to be continuing education programs. Each of these other courses is about 70-hours each.

"Can I say that I'm partnering with you guys in my marketing?"

Absolutely! We understand that in many areas, Teacher Training programs need to be very competitive in order to attract students. Our partner schools prominently display the fact that they're using our training and use it as a way to differentiate themselves from other local options.

"I'm not totally clear on the schedule... Do the students watch the entire training before we meet, or do we do one unit at a time?"

We have designed this course to be flexible, and it works either way. Usually we see trainings that are spread out over a year assigning one unit at a time, then doing the corresponding 1 in-class hour at the next meeting, and so on.

Trainings that meet over 6 months, for example, might assign a unit or two before the training begins, and then assign some units singly, and some in combination over the next 6 months, always following up in class with the corresponding in-class hours.

Intensive trainings usually assign students to watch the entire anatomy module before they arrive, then they do all 10 hours of in-class time sometime during the intensive.

"Do you have marketing materials I can use?"

An entire vault of it, actually... After you enroll, we'll send you images and text that you're free to use in online or print formats.

"Can you help me fill out the Yoga Alliance grid so I know all the details?"

Of course! We know you're filling in a one million page document to make this happen, so we can take care of this part.

Placing Your Continuing Education In Someone Else's Hands Is A Difficult Decision - Let Us Show You Why We're The Ideal Partners To Support Your Students

"This course provides a practical understanding of the body that students could otherwise take years to pick up.

Leslie's approach is passionate and challenging yet lighthearted. Amy Matthews has incredible knowledge and an equally playful approach to unlearning and learning. Together, they focus on the most relevant issues and features of human anatomy. This makes yoga simpler and easier to understand.

The course is practical and the concepts translate naturally into form. The teaching is very useful for my own practice, my body-mind relationship and for my students. As we progressed through the online chapters, the students loved to feel their practices evolve.

Tutoring the course and absorbing Leslie & Amy's advice has been a satisfying personal journey. This teaching is for all students who are willing to let go of their conventions. I highly recommend this course to people who are passionate about yoga and want to learn relevant and contemporary Yoga Anatomy."

"Leslie and Amy are the absolute best team from which to learn yoga anatomy.

Their teaching has not only blown what I thought I knew out of the water, but it has also given me many tools with which to approach teaching and yoga.

When a student comes to class with an injury, the moment of panic that I don't know what to do is gone because I now have a handful of options to choose from. Because of their teaching, I have the tools to lead someone to having their own experience vs. relying on statements such as "If a student has a shoulder injury, do ____ asana."

I continue to learn from Amy & Leslie in the 5 years since my first teacher training, and have become increasingly skillful in my ability to transmit information and understand the body. I am honored to call this inspiring duo my teachers."
