INTRODUCTION

Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers (ASFYT) is a comprehensive,
108-hour course of study in musculo-skeletal anatomy, injury
awareness/prevention and the kinesiology of yoga asana.  Originally
created by Jason R. Brown for both aspiring and experienced yoga
teachers, the course would also be highly beneficial for yoga students
and other movement professionals desiring to acquire a deeper
understanding of the human body and how to take better
care of it.   No prior experience in anatomy or yoga is required
to enroll.
