ANATOMY REQUIREMENT
Twenty (20) hours of study in human anatomy must be completed which could be an applied anatomy course through a local college, a yoga anatomy workshop or one-on-one mentoring. Prior training in anatomy may fulfill this requirement. This can be completed at any time over the course of the training. You will be asked to provide evidence of completion of 20 hours of study in human anatomy. The anatomy course offered at a discount through AVI (YogaAnatomy.net) is very valuable and fulfills pre-training requirements for the Yoga Therapy training, but does not meet this 20 hour requirement as they are non-contact hours.VINIYOGA ELECTIVES
All students are encouraged to deepen and broaden their understanding as well as exploring their area of special interest by taking additional studies.Viniyoga electives and sangha participation are highly recommended and include: in-depth Viniyoga workshops, retreats or privates with Gary Kraftsow, Mirka Scalco-Kraftsow, AVI Faculty, and Viniyoga Teachers and Viniyoga Therapists. Mirka Kraftsow's teleconference courses are also highly recommended.
