About the Training:

Prana is the Sanskrit word for universal energy or "life force" analogous to the Chinese concepts of "chi" or what homeopaths call "vital force". In the yogic tradition prana is seen as pervading and animating the universe, flowing through all things, including us.

Yogic practices are: designed to increase the flow of prana in our bodies and minds to facilitate healing and expand consciousness. Increased pranic flow enhances metal clarity, emotional stability and physical vitality.

In this Prana Yoga Teacher training course you will learn how to practice and teach yoga not as a mere physical exercise, but as a profound science that unites movement, breath, sound concentration, meditation and prayer. Approached in this way, yogic practice becomes a deeply potent healing and transformational path. This course will enable you to become a teacher of yoga at its essence and greatly expand the depth and power of your practice and the healing experiences of your students.

This course will include:

• Learning to practice and teach 20 basic postures in a deep and healing way.
• Practice prana yoga together for one hour at the beginning of each session.
• Learning specific breathing techniques and mantra/sounds for each posture.
• Experiencing the healing potential of the postures and how to facilitate healing in your students.
• Basic Western and yogic anatomy and physiology, including how prana yoga impacts on each part of our physical and subtle bodies.
• The history and philosophy of yoga including the study of ancient yogic texts, such as the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras.
• Direct experiences of prana in your body through meditation techniques, mantra chanting and specific chakra techniques.
• Practice teaching session mid course and at the end in a safe setting to help you gain confidence as a prana yoga teacher.

Yoga teachers and students from all schools and traditions are welcome. Join us in a nine-month journey into the essence of yoga and the healing power of Prana.

A certification of completion will be given at the end of the training.
