Prana vinyasa Teacher Training

We begin with the universal vinyasa of our breath flow and elemental energetic connection within our own ancestral traditions of firekeeping to studying within lineage streams of Shakta Tantra, Krishnamachary, Bhakti, Ayrveda, Kalaripayattu and Odissi Dance.

We return to India twice a year for “Living in Sacred Rhythm Retreats in the Winter/Maha Shivaratri + Fall/Navaratri cycles. See our retreats for more information.

Prana Mandala Flow is a roots-and-evolution journey into meditation as a way of life.

Explore this unique online offering, designed to support your practice and teaching of circular flow for full-spectrum embodiment and vital living.

Through movement meditation, embody the circular power of the mandala, anchoring daily life cycles in soulful wellness. In Sanskrit, mandala comes from “manda” (essence) and “la” (vessel or container). In this immersion, the mandala is embodied as your body, home, community, earth body, and cosmic rhythm.
