Modern Pranayama Applications in the Ancient Tradition of Tantric Hatha Yoga

*300 Hour Therapeutic Essentials Track Required Training

Much of our experience of “yoga” in the west is (comparatively) a modern phenomenon, largely an adaptation of physical education exercises taught to school children in India during the last century. These practices, though greatly beneficial, often touch only briefly on pranayama, thegateway to meditation. Following the ancient texts of The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gherenda Samhita, and the Shiva Samhita, the path of tantric hatha yoga was comprised of practices to both strengthen and polish the “vessel”, heighten energy, and allow one to merge ever more fully with all life had to offer. This merging with the rhythms and pulses of the universe was accessed with transformative techniques, including ritual, asana, intense pranayama practices, and bandhas.

In this module you will :

• Explore the intricate details of the more advanced pranayamas, kriyas, and bandhas, through fascial anatomy, personal physiology and experience, as well as immersing into the history and purpose behind these ancient teachings
• Discover as yoginis and yogis living in the modern world how to apply effective and intelligent adaptations to the practices and therapies, as we consider both our own individual constitutions and those of our students, moving forward together on the cusp of this “technological revolution”.
• Create strategies to allow for sacred space within these powerful applications, ones that provide a consistent, disciplined environment for continual transformation
