Pranayama Teacher Training Level 1 2025

Famous Nath Yoginis and Yogis who have achieved success in their Yoga • See Gallery
  • Pranayama is a key practice of both the Ashtanga and Hatha schools of Yoga. It prepares the body, nervous system, and mind for one-pointed concentration, leading to the practice of meditation. In most yoga classes that one currently encounters in the West, there is typically more emphasis on asana and less on pranayama, so we miss out on one of the most important, transformative practices of Yoga. This training will give you a grounding in practicing and teaching traditional pranayamas and kriyas.
