Meditation 

  • 500hr Level Program & Yoga Therapy Module
In ancient times yoga schools had a rich meditation practice that has been lost in many modern traditions.  Some yoga schools turn to Buddhism for meditation if they teach it at all.  This program will explore the many stages and techniques of yoga meditation.  We will start with the most ancient forms from which Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain meditation have sprung.  After learning these techniques we will explore how they can be incorporated into a modern practice and taught to our students.  This program is for yoga teachers only. 

Functional Anatomy & 
Therapeutic Yoga 

  • 200hr, 500hr Level Program & Yoga Therapy Module

This is an experiential course where we explore the major muscles and joints of the body and how they relate to yoga practice.  Through observation, hands-on exercises, and practice of specific asanas, you will learn the location and function of the key anatomical regions of the body and understand how they relate to asana practice.  This course will enable you to have a better understanding of how to practice asanas safely and in a way to focus on specific muscles and muscular/joint imbalances in your and your students practices.  Common stresses and injuries for each part of the body are addressed.  You will learn general guidelines on how to apply asana therapeutically for specific injuries, as well as modifications (providing appropriate hands-on support and protection) to maximize the healing and strengthening that is possible from the practice of yoga.  The relationship of pranayama and meditation to the other systems of the body is explored and practiced.  There is a practice each day of the program to bring the knowledge you gain into an experiential practice.  The full course is 35 hours and is part of the 500 hour teacher training programs at the Pranakriya Yoga School and other training programs throughout the country.  This course can be shortened for 200 hour training programs.  


Yoga Therapy Certification

The Pranakriya Yoga Therapy Certification program is designed for yoga practitioners, teachers and health care providers who want to specialize in yoga's therapeutic aspects. The program provides an understanding of yoga's healing methods seen in the light of modern medical and psychological therapies. This combination brings out the best of both.

  • Learn about diseases and dysfunction from a western model and from a Tantric Hatha yoga model.
  • Integrate the Tantra Hatha Yoga tools of asana, pranayama, and meditation into the treatment of musculoskeletal, medical and psychological conditions.
  • Become a trained yoga therapist capable of working in private or group settings.
