What happens when you take...

* 1 Best-Selling Book...
* 2 International Subject-Matter Experts...
* 50 Combined Years of Teaching...
* 300 Hours of Content...

...And Distill, and Refine, and Re-Imagine, and Transcend?

And then share the results with over 5,000 yoga professionals, collect feedback...

... And do the entire process over again?

It all started with a 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..."

...and then they'd politely decline.

But what they were really thinking was, "No way!"

Not because they couldn't do it...

...They'd each taught plenty of anatomy before.

Not because they didn't feel up to the challenge...

...They'd co-authored Yoga Anatomy, which has been the best-selling yoga book on Amazon ever since its debut.

Not because they didn't want to travel...

...They each travel regularly to teach in conferences and workshops all over the world.

Not because they didn't have enough material...

...It was actually the opposite problem.

After teaching yoga and anatomy for so many years, it seemed impossible to fit everything that was important for a yoga teacher to know into just 20 hours.

After all, they regularly teach 4 mega courses between them, with over 300 hours of content total.

But despite their polite declines, they kept getting the question.

And they kept thinking there was no way to do it in 20 hours.

Until one day...

They wondered if they were considering the wrong question...

"What if...

We start with the assumption that we can't cover everything...

*That's* the challenge...

Choosing the absolute most essential topics.

Refining. Distilling...

Hmmmmm....

What would it look like if...

We could take all our experience, all our history, all the strands of our combined education...

The best that each of us has to offer...

All we've learned from our many years in yoga...

All we've adopted in our own teaching from other disciplines...

All our hopes for what the next generation of yoga teachers will bring to the world...

And storyboard the entire thing just like a movie so that each lesson is as efficient & effective as possible...

And interweave it with asana explorations and philosophy and science and kinesiology...

Because anatomy is important, but it is most powerful when it's understood as part of the whole story...

...What if we could do that in 20 hours?"

And then they started to get excited...

...And this course is the result.

Since then, the YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals online course has been shared in over 200 Teacher Trainings worldwide.

Our graduates are teaching in the professional yoga world, working with private clients, and expanding the horizons of their own practices.

Every day, we get notes back from them about how this course has changed their lives for the better, and opened their eyes to a broader set of possibilities than they'd ever considered.

They tell us that because of this course, their teaching is grounded and flexible.

And their practices have grown more personal, nuanced, and alive.

We've been thrilled with this reception and with the results.

But we've also had to turn away many students who inquired about the course, but who weren't part of a teacher training program.

Up until now, we didn't have a way to support the course for students who wanted to take it on their own.

But once again... after many requests, we wondered if we were considering the wrong question. So we started re-imagining things...

After many requests, we're finally releasing a new version of YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals that's been specifically re-designed for you to take at home, on your own.

Now you can join the community, and start on your own journey of transformation, even if you're not part of a training in one of our partner schools.

Why open it up to individuals?

It's the Teacher Trainers and course grads who convinced us:

"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!!!"

"Your yoga practice always has to be a little more clever than your habits." ~T.K.V. Desikachar

This could be...

...As simple as thinking about certain concepts from the course the next time you're on the mat, and recording your experience in your course Guidebook.

"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, and supported by the YogaAnatomy.net Support Team.

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 for advanced professional training. Each of these other courses is about 70-hours each.

"Why is this course so much more affordable than Leslie & Amy's other courses?"

Two reasons:

• It's quite a bit shorter than the other courses (20 hours vs 70+ hours).
• Instead of a QA forum directly with Amy & Leslie, they've designed a step-by-step YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals Guidebook to help you work through your own experience and become your own best teacher.

What does this mean?

Leslie and Amy regularly travel the world teaching, and their in-demand schedules mean that their rates for personal mentorship are extremely high. Also, the longer courses have mentored homework on each and every lesson, making them much more expensive to support.

These longer courses are very special. But the high costs of running them means that we can't share them with as many yogis as we'd like.

With this course, YogaAnatomy.net Fundamentals, our goal is to make these valuable teachings available to the most students possible.

Direct Q&A and mentorship by Amy & Leslie is available in their larger professional training courses, (each about 70 hours long, and $1,997 USD enrollment), or per hour in private sessions.

Our intention with this course is to bring the most value to the most people as possible. We are so excited to welcome you to the family!

Placing Your Continuing Education In Someone Else's Hands Is A Difficult Decision - Let Us Show You Why You Will Love Being Part of This Community

"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."

"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."

"This course has been mind opening, practice altering, inspiring, clear and organized, very helpful and game changing in terms of approaching and adapting my own practice to how I will open the playing field for others to inquire about their own bodies and practices.

It’s altered my way of thinking, approaching, mindfully embracing how I can invite people into an experience rather than telling them what’s true or not true. The art of keeping things interesting and letting people try out for themselves. It’s given me a wider scope."
