Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff
You can pick one up at studio.
You don’t have to be a teacher, nor even desire to become a teacher to attend this course. Your Yoga practice will reach new heights as you become more grounded and peaceful through this ancient practice.
Leslie is the founder of The Breathing Project, a non-profit educational corporation dedicated to the teaching of individualized, breath-centered yoga practice and education. The Breathing Project currently teaches classes and advanced training programs out of its studio in New York City. From October to June, Leslie can be found teaching his highly respected year-long course in Yoga Anatomy and the Application of Breath-Centered Yoga (ABC's) at The Breathing Project in NYC.
Leslie has also helped to organize international yoga conferences while serving as Vice-President of Unity in Yoga, and was part of the ad-hoc committee that established national standards for yoga teacher training. Prior to the formation of The Yoga Alliance, Leslie was a strong voice in the ensuing national debate regarding the application of those certification standards. This dialogue resulted in the creation of e-Sutra, an influential e-mail list and blog that has an active worldwide membership.
What is Rational Yoga?
Leslie’s work has been evolving a rational — non-mystical — approach to Yoga and Yoga Therapy. Leslie uses the immediate reality of human anatomy as a starting point for exploring issues of support and release, stability and freedom, space and boundaries. This process clarifies and validates much traditional wisdom while exposing many long-standing misconceptions and myths.
By relating fundamental yogic concepts to their anatomical origins, Leslie's approach resolves many doctrinal and philosophical differences between schools of Yoga.yogaanatomy.org breathingproject.org

Viniyoga™ draws on ancient insights, applying the tools of asana, pranayama, chanting, meditation, relaxation, and personal ritual to help individuals achieve wellness, improve function, reduce suffering, regain self-confidence, and find happiness.

Lecture and practice.
Saturday and Sunday only — Viniyoga™ Therapy for Your Back
Over 100 billion dollars are spent annually in the United States on back pain. In December 2005, the Annals of Internal Medicine reported that yoga is an effective treatment for chronic back pain. These results were found in a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the yoga protocol in that study was designed by Gary Kraftsow using the gentle approach of Viniyoga™. This methodology will be used as the basis to learn and experience specific therapeutic sequences for the lower back, sacrum and hips, as well as the upper back, neck and shoulders, and is designed for therapists, teachers, and individuals who suffer from any type of back pain.

10:30 am – 1:30 pm
3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Gary will present the means and methods for working with chronic and acute structural conditions including: assessment, goals, treatment strategy and application. Explore biomechanics of the lower back, sacrum and hips, and the types of problems that can affect these areas. We will experience a sequence of adapted asanas designed to relieve symptoms and strengthen these areas of the body. Lecture and practice.

We no longer print paper certificates (saving trees and unnecessary for YA purposes). YA only wants documentation information from Asheville Yoga Center regarding completion of our 500hr YA program, not individual units. If you are wanting certificate of attendance, you will automatically receive an email after completion of each session, which is all YA requires for ceu's, not 500hr.
