Program Overview
AVI is pleased to offer our students and alumni an opportunity to take the YogaAnatomy.net On-Line Course with Leslie Kaminoff for a special discount.
Leslie Kaminoff is a world-renowned Yoga Educator, author of the #1 best-selling yoga book “Yoga Anatomy,” with over 31 years of experience in bringing the study of anatomy to life.
Kaminoff's Yoga Anatomy 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, Brmhana/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.

Frequently asked questions…
Is there a timeline for the course?
There is no actual timeline or deadline for the course. You can sign up whenever you want, watch the classes as it works for your schedule, ask Leslie questions and get answers on your own time, and finish the homework whenever it fits in your schedule. We wanted this course to be as flexible as possible because we have so many students enrolled from all over the world, and there’s really not a one-size-fits-all structure.
How much homework is there? What kind of weekly time commitment am I looking at?
As discussed above, you can go through the course at your own pace. If you’d like to finish the course in the 9-month timeframe that Leslie uses to teach the live class, here’s what it would look like: One 2-hour video class per week, plus no more than 30 minutes of homework per week, consisting mostly of review questions and additional activities to help enhance the learning experience. The classes are structured in three 12-week trimesters for a total of 36 weeks, and there is a short break between each trimester (like a holiday break and spring break.)
Do I ever get to ask Leslie questions in real-time?
Absolutely! Leslie is holding live chat sessions at 7pm NYC time on Tuesday evenings.
