ASFYT 101 – Foundations of Functional Anatomy & Kinesiology for Yoga Teachers
A practical foundation for understanding the human body in movement — and applying that understanding to the way you practice, observe, and teach yoga.
Online • Self-Paced + Guided Cohorts • Yoga Alliance CEUs
ASFYT 101 is the foundational course in the Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers curriculum. It introduces the language and principles used throughout the series, including anatomical terminology, joint structure and movement, planes of motion, basic biomechanics, and a practical framework for observing the body in motion.
Rather than memorizing isolated facts, you’ll learn to recognize patterns and apply functional anatomy directly to your teaching.

How Courses Work
Learn independently, or join a guided cohort when one is available.
Self-Paced
Work through course lessons on your own schedule, with access to video instruction, readings, downloadable resources, and course activities.
Self-paced courses are designed to give you the flexibility to pause, review, and revisit material as needed.
Guided Cohorts
Selected courses may also be offered as guided cohorts, combining the same online course materials with scheduled live sessions.
Live sessions may include Q&A, discussion, experiential practice, case examples, and opportunities to apply what you’re learning to your own teaching.
Whether you study independently or join a cohort, the goal is the same: to help you understand the material more deeply and apply it with greater confidence in your practice and teaching.
Yoga Alliance Continuing Education
Earn continuing education hours while deepening your teaching.
Eligible Zenyasa Academy courses will clearly list the number and category of Yoga Alliance continuing education hours available, along with any requirements for receiving a certificate of completion.
