Mantra, Pranayama & Meditation Course
Advertisement
You practice asana but do you practice YOGA?
This intensive workshop explores the foundational theory, embodied practice, and teaching methodology of pranayama, meditation, and mantra — three profound and transformative limbs of yoga.
Over two full days (plus pre-recorded content to complete in your own time), you'll cover breathing physiology and the subtle body, foundational meditation techniques across multiple lineages, the ethics of mantra, and safe trauma-aware instruction. The workshop includes extensive practice teaching time with peer feedback — so you leave not just informed, but ready to teach.
What you'll learn:
*Breathing physiology and the subtle body
*Foundational meditation techniques across multiple lineages
*The theory and ethics of mantra
*Trauma-aware instruction for breath and meditation practices
*Practice teaching with structured peer feedback
Format:
* Two full-day in-person intensives (9:00 am – 5:00 pm) on Saturday 5th September & Saturday 26th September 2026
*Pre-recorded content to complete between sessions at your own pace
*One optional online wānanga to follow up after the course concludes (date/time TBD)
