PranaYoga provides yoga beyond the basics.
Our goal is to include breadth and depth so serious sādhaka (yoga students) can enhance their foundation as one grows their yoga endeavors. Studies offer an integration of philosophy and practices in one’s educational and spiritual pursuits: the philosophy helps one understand why yoga works, and the tools are our opportunity to dive deeper into experiences of connecting body, mind, emotions and Spirit.
As a well-practiced ācārya (teacher), Hansa has taught Yoga Teacher Training, Advanced Specialty Yoga Topics, and Yoga Therapy Training all informed by Ayurveda. She continues to study, especially Subtle Anatomy, Ayurveda, Jyotisha, and Sanskrit. All of Hansa’s offerings reflect her many years of study and teaching, based in a therapeutic approach.
Future trainings, workshops, and courses are based on your requests. And, Hansa aims to share her love for yoga philosophy, yoga tools, esoteric anatomy, expanded yoga topics and whatever her passion of the moment is! There are workshops or courses done in collaboration with other yoga friends too!
SWaHa yoga workshops are specifically Studies With Hansa
Swaha is a yoga term meaning “oblation, offering.” Hansa wants classes to be an offering of yoga knowledge. To study means, “devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge.” The classes and workshops are designed to facilitate acquiring knowledge, for ALL of us. (Students are Hansa’s greatest teacher!) Studying yoga can be a challenge due to learning another language along the way, books were written cryptically, and applying the principles outlined in the context of a different time and location! How do the studies apply to today? Our studies will be about the integration and application of yoga wisdom to everyday life. Yoga is more than a practice. It is expanding off the mat and using the information gleaned on the mat to living fully day to day. This is really Hansa’s passion!
Some courses may require that you must have 200 hours of basic yoga education or be a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist.
