MetaAnatomy

What people are saying

“Never in my life did I ever expect to use the words ‘delightful’ or ‘poetic’ to describe an anatomy book. But then again, nobody writes about anatomy quite like Kristin Leal.”

- Linda Sparrowe

Former editor of Yoga Journal and of Yoga International and Author of Yoga At Home

Hi, I’m Kristin Leal!

I’m endlessly inspired by the connections between body, breath, mind, emotions, physical and energetic anatomies, you and me.

I’d love to share with you some serious scientific study (with a sense of humor), evidence based potent practices and time tested Yoga technologies to explore the depths of who you are and who you can become.

I believe from the bottom of my anatomical heart that by understanding what makes us different leads us back to what connects us all.

This program should be a prerequisite for every 200-Hour certification!! I’m a much better, smarter and more conscious teacher because of this material and I hope there is a follow up module!!”

  • ”Kristin’s MetaAnatomy training is essential for any yoga teacher. She provides the necessary tools to understand the connections and interconnections of the body and to teach logically and safely to those with injuries and/or pain. These teachings are equally effective with any level of practitioner. Bravo to Kristin!”

    - EVELYN

  • ”Kristin is a rare soul who is able to break down science in a way that is not only easy to understand but highly entertaining, all the while keeping the Yoga alive. I laughed as much as I learned, and learned more than I could have ever imagined. Her natural ease in converging the information presented proves her mastery and wisdom. My personal practice has been as deeply influenced as my teaching. This woman is a Glorious Goddess of Goofiness!”
