    Pranayama Teacher Training. Level 1. 2023 SPL

    Self  Paced Learning (SPL). Pranayama is a foundational practice of both the Ashtanga and Hatha schools of Yoga that prepares the body, nervous system, and mind for one-pointed concentration, leading to deeper levels of realization about oneself. In the majority of yoga classes that one currently encounters in the West, there is typically more emphasis on asana and less on pranayama, and 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, kriyas, and mudras.  If you have taken the live PTT and have met all the requirements you will be issued a certificate. If you have not as yet received a certificate please email us. Thanks you.

    Note: A certificate will not be granted at the end of Level 1 SPL. However upon the successful completion of Level 1 SPL, you will be eligible to register for the Pranayama Teacher Training Level 2 to be held in November/December 2023. Once you have completed Level 2 you will be able to receive a Pranayama Teacher Certification from the Yoga Education Collective for Level 1 as well as Level 2.

    The Serpent Power. 2022 SPL

    SELF PACED LEARNING: THE SERPENT POWER The Sanskrit work SatcakranirupanaDescription of the Six Cakras — deals with a particular form of yoga often called Kundalini Yoga. The translation of Satcakranirupana by Sir John Woodroffe is known as The Serpent Power. We will go through the essential verses, using slides, to try to understand the philosophical foundations of the practices and the purpose of Hatha Yoga.

    9 VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THE CLASSES which took place during August-October 2021. One-hour discussions, based on readings and commentary of the text, a Keynote presentation of the text, notes, illustrations, diagrams of the main chakras and Bija mantras and much more of interest about the subject. If you wish to explore Kundalini Yoga in depth, then these classes will help. Sir John George Woodroffe (1865 – 1936), also known by his pseudonym Arthur Avalon, was a British Orientalist whose extensive and complex published works on the Tantras and other Hindu traditions stimulated a wide-ranging interest in Hindu philosophy and yoga. He was appointed Standing Counsel to the Government of India in 1902 and in 1904 was raised to the High Court Bench. He served there for eighteen years, becoming Chief Justice in 1915. Alongside his judicial duties he studied Sanskrit and Hindu philosophy and was especially interested in Hindu Tantra. He translated some twenty original Sanskrit texts and, under his pseudonym Arthur Avalon, published and lectured prolifically on Indian philosophy and a wide range of Yoga and Tantra topics. After retiring to England he served as Reader in Indian Law to the University of Oxford.
