Yoga Anatomy for the People - in Action
Until I was 11 years old, I lived in a very rural county in Virginia. To this day, when visiting, I have to stand on a hill to get cell phone reception.
I spent more than half of my 20s as full-time student; when I wasn't in school, I taught yoga and/or worked for small non-profits. Money was tight.
I intimately know what it's like to have limited resources: time, proximity, money, or even (something that many of us take for granted) streaming internet.
I also <3 LOVE <3 podcasts and audiobooks.
So I've merged my love of auditory learning and my desire to share wise yoga anatomy widely (Yoga Anatomy for the People) by creating audio recordings of my anatomy workshops over the last 8 months.
Students who are not able to attend the workshops live have been thrilled, and those who have taken the workshops live are grateful to re-enforce their new knowledge. The feedback has been super-positive.
I'm excited to announce that two NEW yoga anatomy audio workshops have been uploaded:
Biomechanics of the Shoulder Girdle
- and -
Chaturanga Clinic
Once purchased, download to your computer, and you'll have the option to transfer to your phone to listen on the go.
* Just a note: the "Pay what you Can" option was turning out to be tricky tech-wise. If you need a discount to be able to afford the recording(s) just email me.
I'm thankful for each of you in this community of engaged learners,
Dr. Ariele Foster
P.S. Stay tuned for an announcement about the next round of the Yoga Anatomy Academy Online Mentorship!
P.P.S. There are still rooms available in on our Embodied Yoga Anatomy retreat in Spain. Read on to learn about Brexit-inspired discounts on the dorm housing option.

Embodied Anatomy Yoga Retreat
Oct. 2-8, 2016
Andalucia, Spain (Suryalila Yoga Retreat Center)
This unique retreat will invite you into deep understanding of yoga alignment, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology.
Anyone with a genuine interest and love for yoga and yoga anatomy is invited (you don't have to be a yoga teacher).
And... you'll receive forever-access to an online course covering essential terms and language of anatomy, so that we can speak fluently in lively discussions. (By the way, no books are required and there will be PLENTY of yoga asana practice.)
Important information:
* This retreat will not be offered again for at least another year (if ever. If offered again, it will likely be in the format of a teacher training)
* Yoga teachers, Personal trainers, and bodyworkers earn 30 CE hours
* a robust FAQ (along with reasons NOT to attend ;)) is now on the retreat page
* Questions? Please SCHEDULE A CHAT - simply hit reply to this email with three available times (including time zone) to ask any questions that you have about the retreat (please first read over all retreat details)
I believe so very strongly that this retreat will inspire steady, clear confidence and and unveil new joy and authenticity in your teaching or practice.
So join me (and our purposefully small, age-diverse group) Oct 2-8th in Andalucia, Spain.
The weather will be spring-like, the olives ripe, the natural salt water pool open. Hiking, horseback riding, visiting ancient bath houses are all options on the agenda.
Act quickly for the best room options! (Thanks to Brexit and the Euro devaluing next to the dollar, we were able to lower prices on the 8-person room, so prices now start at $1750).
Paying in Euros? Email info@yogaanatomyacademy.com so you won't have to feel the sting of the currency exchange.
This will be a special immersive experience that will uplevel your anatomy understanding and your knowledge of your own body for life.
P.S. Thinking of attending with a friend? Get an extra $100 off if you sign up together -- enter code "friendlove" at checkout.

Latest blog post:
Is there enough pulling in yoga?
The yoga blogosphere has been aflutter on whether yoga lacks shoulder muscular balance and yoga asana. It's a worthy discussion. Read our take.
In DC? Join Dr. Ariele Foster's next Aerial Yoga class (lots of pulling!) on Saturday July 30th. (live class schedule.)

Our Mission

Yoga Anatomy Academy aims to uplift yogis (teachers and practitioners) with a thoughtful, whole heart approach to teaching yoga anatomy and physiology. We love making complex scientific information real and relevant to your body and to your classes. We intend to have fun in the process, and to never miss an opportunity for a pun. Read more.
Fancy retreats aside, we aim to make yoga anatomy accessible, thoughtful and "nondenominational". Read the manifesto on Ariele's blog. And check out our affordable audio courses.
