Our 300 hour advanced teacher training program is an inclusive community of unique and creative teachers and students of living yoga. Moving beyond the basics of the 200 hour curriculum, this creative program lets you pace yourself. We will learn to teach and practice the integrative embodied pathways of energy-based yoga practices, with core modules inspired by Hatha Yoga + the Prana Vinyasa methodology that has evolved from Shiva Rea’s interpretation and teaching of the Krishnamacharyan perspective, modern somatics, tantra, Bhakti, and Ayurveda.
Our program teaches energetic alignment and a connection to the breath, mental posture, and the physical body to enable sustainable and evolutionary embodiment of asana + sadhana in your body on the yoga mat and in the body of your life. This program integrates the wisdom of natural rhythm inside and outside of the body to awaken a connection to sacred inner flow while cultivating presence in the macrocosm of our lives. Each teacher is encouraged to build their ideal full spectrum of education combining core modules and short electives spanning many modalities approved by your trainers including Iyengar Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, Classical Yogic Philosophy, Yin Yoga and more.

Teaching vinyasa is an art that requires a teacher to develop related tools using their voice, hands-on assists, observation and energetic awareness to provide guidance that facilitates the state of flow of a class. Learn the art of teaching Prana Vinyasa in this empowering and evolutionary vinyasa training. You will embody the energetic flow of yoga on and off the mat, deepen your practice, and learn to share vinyasa for all levels.
You will explore the many dimensions of creating a soul-inspiring class; guiding the microcosm of your students to experience healing connection to the whole. This approach to teaching encourages an evolutionary journey into living yoga as we begin to heal the body of our life through the empowerment of a full spectrum practice. We will emphasize teaching from a flow-state to translate this integrative practice to our students.

Accessible Vinyasa: Facilitating Flow for Every Body
15 Hours
February 18-19
Saturday | 12-7:30pm
Sunday | 1:30-8:00pm

Accessible Vinyasa is a continuing education program for teachers both new and experienced. This weekend offers techniques and resources to make Vinyasa yoga accessible to a wide range of skill levels and body types.
Many Vinyasa Yoga teacher trainings and techniques focus upon guiding practitioners whose strength and mobility are without limitation. It requires a unique skill set to craft a ‘gentle’ or ‘accessible’ vinyasa sequence to allow beginners and limited mobility practitioners to move with fluidity and calm. Intelligent sequencing and a focus on progressive ‘stages’ of postures (Vinyasa Krama) helps teachers structure asana practices to meet each student where they are. Teachers will learn how to support students to feel empowered through flow regardless of body, age, or skill.
Teaching yoga safely requires supporting all students including and especially those with common physical limitations, injuries, joint replacements, misalignments, low kinesthetic awareness, and general challenges with flexibility or strength. Teachers will complete Accessible Vinyasa feeling prepared to empower a wide range of populations using techniques specific to each.
