prana shakti yoga teacher training

“

Prana is the force of life. In yoga, it is everything essential. Without its grace, transformation would literally be impossible. The science of Prana (Prana Vidya) is the knowledge of awakening the fullest potential of yoga and life. These teachings and techniques – collected since time immemorial and detailed in the Vedas, Upanishads, Tantras and many other key texts – describe with incredible detail and nuance the hidden keys to happiness, power and success. In the hands of a capable practitioner or teacher, they empower us at every level. They show us how to change the quality of the Pranic (subtle or etheric) body to affect everything from health, to state of mind, to a deepening of spiritual awareness.

This five-day practice and Yoga Teacher Training Intensive is open to all interested students.* Designed to enrich dedicated practitioners, aspiring teachers, or those already teaching.

The 3-hour morning experiential sessions, led by Rod, weave together dynamic Asana, Vinyasa, Pranayama, and meditation practices. They are dedicated to enlivening awareness of and your connection to the power of the Pranic realm, as well as transform how you see practice, yourself, and your capacity in the world.

The afternoon sessions will deepen our exploration through additional practices, lectures, meditations, and Q & A sessions. Their focus is to enlighten participants’ understanding on how the principles and techniques specifically intended to awaken Prana inspire more profound richness in Asana, Pranayama and meditation practice – whether it be for your own practice and/or that of your students’.

Some of topics we cover include:
• The Prana of Asana
• Essentials of the Meridian System
• Prana – Linking Breath & Consciousness
• Mind and Energetics of Thought
• Bandha – Gathering your Life Force
• Changing your Momentum – Mastering Mind and Life
• Preparing Mind and Body for Spiritual Absorption
• The Energetic Alchemy of Spiritual experience
• The Key Components of Pranayama
• Accessing the Subtle body though Yogic relaxation
