Due to the value that in-person training offers, often we require in-person attendance. Yoga is about relationships and PranaYoga would prefer every class be taught in person.  Online and hybrid classes have become a norm.  Our school offerings include:

  • The majority of our workshops require in-person attendance.
  • Selected workshops and trainings may be offered with a mixed in-person/hybrid schedule. 
  • Selected didactic workshops may be offered with a full hybrid option.

Check each workshop for its teaching format.

108 Gayatri-s

The preliminary workshops are a lead-in and taste of what to expect in ‘The 108’ coming in 2027.

‘The 108’ is a long workshop (at least 108 hours). In it, we will explore the subtle body based on the teachings of Kashmir Śaivism. There will be a focus on the subtle body through the cakra petals and their impact on the essence of our Spirit.

Hansa is taking your input to establish a working schedule so as many people can attend in person.

Please email: pyamandala@gmail.com with schedule requests or other thoughts if you are interested in studying the subtle body starting April/May 2027.

Why Yoga Works: Integration of Alignment, Breath, Prānavāyu, Anatomy

January 9, 2027
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Yogāsana is about aligning the body to support health and wellbeing.  Āsana is an internal, subtle body, “in the moment” exploration, not a command performance.  Learn how to use and guide the breath along with anatomical awareness to enhance your practice. 

cakra the inside story

Lead-in and taste of what to expect in ‘The 108’.

What is a Cakra? Intro to the Inside Story 

The Expansion of Śiva/Śakti and the Journey Home 

January 30, 2027
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Expand your understanding of the cakra system in this workshop as we delve into the Kashmir Śaivism Tantra tradition as taught by Abhinivaguta. Explore the vibrations of Spirit expanding through the saṁskṛt.  Hansa will introduce you to the  potency of the saṁskṛt alphabet through cakra, the inside story!

YOU are Vibration: Why Mantra Works 

Saṁskṛt Alphabet: Pronunciation and the Manifestation as Mantra

February 13, 2027
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

The flow, the rhythm, the grace of being in the vibrational presence of the Divine moves us from needing to “know” the meaning of a chant to being the chant.  The goal of chanting moving to mantra is learning to harness the mind into the present moment.  When we can befriend the mind and help it understand it is safe in this endeavor, chanting becomes mantra. 

What is Śakti? What are Yogini?

Lead-in and taste of what to expect in ‘The 108’.

What is Śakti? What are Yogini?

March 20, 2027
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

When I did my teacher training, we integrated philosophy and ritual and mantra and deity into our practices.  Today, deity study is more of an outlier.  Hansa will introduce a broad picture of all deities with a focus on the Śakti and the Yogini-s.  Hint:  They are more than a goddess!  They are the manifesting essence within each one of us!
