Train inside a living tradition.

Two pathways for serious students: the Yoga Lifestyle immersive training, and the Yoga Nidra Teachers' Training. Both taught in the Satyananda tradition of the Bihar School of Yoga, in small cohorts, by a teacher who has trained teachers and students for over seventeen years.

The pathways

Yoga Lifestyle Immersion Training

The preparation pathway. Grounding in the methods and techniques of the Bihar tradition, personal sadhana, and the practices of yogic daily life. The recommended route into the teachers' training.

How students prepare

The path in, honestly stated

Most students spend six to twelve months in Pure Yoga courses before training, in person or online. That period grounds you in the Bihar methods, builds a daily practice, and lets you and Pragyadhara both know the training is right for you.

Already teaching in another style: you are welcome, if you are prepared to bridge into the Bihar methods and deepen into the energetics and lifestyle integration this tradition works with.

Common questions

I trained in a different style. Can I join?

Yes, if you are prepared to bridge into the Bihar Yoga methods and techniques. A block of Pure Yoga courses over six to twelve months prepares you well.

I'm new to yoga. Can I still train?

Yes, if you are sincere about learning yoga and building a personal practice. Begin with courses first; the training will still be here when you are ready.

Can I claim professional development points?

Yes. The training is registered with Yoga Alliance under Pragyadhara's continuing education provider profile.

How do I best prepare?

Once enrolled you receive practice recordings to use daily, embedding the practice at an experiential level. Joining a current yoga nidra course and keeping a practice journal is highly recommended.
