This immersive training explores the energetic dimensions of yoga beyond the physical body. Through the study of chakras, prāṇa, and the subtle body, participants will deepen their understanding of how energy moves through the body and how yoga practices can support balance, vitality, and inner awareness.

​

Combining classical yogic philosophy with embodied practice, this training invites teachers to move beyond purely anatomical perspectives and develop sensitivity to the energetic layers of experience. Participants will explore how breath, attention, movement, and stillness influence the subtle body and learn practical ways to integrate these principles into yoga teaching.

​

This program is offered as a hybrid training, combining an in-person weekend intensive with self-paced online study. The in-person component emphasizes experiential learning, guided practices, and discussion, while the online modules deepen theoretical understanding and support continued integration.
