Pranayama TT

This is a Train­ing for Yoga students/teachers that wish to dive deep into this spe­cif­ic area. The course offers direct, clear sup­port on how to sequence, mod­i­fy and pro­vides the tools for explor­ing Pranaya­ma prop­er­ly and in-depth. Throught that knowl­edge, expe­ri­ence and back­ground one can teach Pranaya­ma safe­ly and effectively. 

It is impos­si­ble to teach with­out expe­ri­enc­ing the work in your own self. There­fore, this Train­ing is also a 6‑month per­son­al jour­ney through these sub­tle prac­tices. You should have enough expe­ri­ence and time to be ready for that jour­ney. There is an expec­ta­tion that you prac­tice reg­u­lar­ly between the mod­ules. Oth­er­wise, you miss the depth and effect this work can have. 

To do this course, you must have com­plet­ed a Yoga Teacher Train­ing at the 200 or 300 HR lev­el. If you have done exten­sive Yoga Practice/Study/Workshops, but did­n’t get a chance to com­plete a Teacher Train­ing in Yoga, please con­tact me and we can dis­cuss your background. 

There are some read­ings required and some self study time which is guid­ed though sub­jects that are offered accord­ing to var­i­ous themes through­out the Training.
