PranaYoga ~ Your School for Vedic Knowledge
Our school’s philosophy is that the Vedic Sciences are intimately interwoven.
Our offerings combine the sciences of yoga, ayurveda, jyotisha and sanskrit.

Hansa began teaching yoga in Denver after studying at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in 1988. As her classes continued to grow, she was asked to begin teacher training courses and graduated her first group of teachers in 2000. Hansa has always continued her own personal study. Recognizing that the multiple dimensions of Vedic arts that expanded her horizons were not taught in Denver, she overflowed her own studies and developed training opportunities for Advanced Yoga Teachers, then Ayurveda, then Sanskrit and Jyotisha, then ultimately, in Yoga Therapy.
Hansa is the owner of Gentle Touch Body Mind Spirit Connection, which offers massage and yoga classes to the local community; she is also the owner of PranaYoga and Ayurveda Mandala, which offers training programs in the Vedic Sciences. Hansa is the Director of our Training Center and the Heart of our School and Studio. She is forever a student of Yoga, honing her skills and broadening her horizons, and bringing it all back to her students; she teaches many of the trainings in part or whole. She is also a founding member of Sanga, our sister non-profit organization – see more through Sanga Community Outreach.
Over the years, Hansa has lifted up all of her students through empowering them to find their own voice and pursue their passions. And, she has consistently looked to the greater community and honored the wisdom of others on the path in bringing their flavor to the many trainings that she laid the foundation. Currently, she is studying Kashmir Śaivism Tantra as taught by Laksmanjoo. These studies have affected Hansa greatly, and the information is maturing and impacting her life which naturally overflows into her teachings, and is still unfolding.
Hansa is now in the process of transferring her clients to the amazing students who have studied and graduated from PranaYoga’s programs. In the meantime, Hansa is still teaching and connecting through the home studio. She also believes in fostering connections throughout the community! She teaches nationally; her current associations include: Samadhi Yoga Sangha in Denver, The Stress Management Center of Marin in California, I am Yoga Therapy™ with Amrit Yoga in Florida, and Lighthouse Ayurveda in the Pacific Northwest.
Everything that happens here is based on Classical Yoga and the rich lineage of the ancient seers; therefore, our offerings include all of the Vedic Sciences. No matter how and why you come to us, there is an emphasis on learning to listen to the wisdom of the body and allowing the inner prana to guide your exploration. Hansa’s recent studies have been founded on Kashmir Śaivism Tantra as taught by Laksmanjoo, the basic tantra concepts are becoming more evident in her teachings. Our upcoming workshops are maturing as she continues to study.
