The teacher

Sannyasi Pragyadhara

"I trained inside the lineage, not next to it."

Pragyadhara spent five years in residence at the Bihar School of Yoga in India, received formal sannyasa initiation, and mentors and trains teachers in New Zealand. She imparts Yoga as a complete discipline: asana, breath, meditation and integration into daily life, taught in the sequence the tradition intended it to be.
