Bandhas: Gateways to the Yoga Body | Online Immersion
Bandhas are internal seals that direct the flow of vital energy through the body. Engaging the bandhas is an essential part of yoga, for the bandhas impact the master glands of the body while sparking open the nerve bundles along the front of the spine. However, due to stress, trauma and the pressures of modern day living, strain lodges in the body, making bandha work precarious and potentially irritating. This course undertakes an in-depth study of the anatomy of the pelvic, abdominal and cervical “locks”. We look at the bandhas not as contractions, but as internal seals used to channel prana, activate the chakras and balance the autonomic nervous system. We aim to demystify the bandhas, identifying them neither as mechanical locks nor esoteric techniques. Rather we will see how the bandhas flow as a natural extension of breathing and spinal motion. We will have time to explore a bandha each week using yoga, somatic work, meditations, journaling and pranayama. In this course we compare descriptions of the bandhas from the esoteric yoga tradition with contemporary research in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, somatics, and contemplative science.
APRIL – MAY 2026
Loops, Spirals & Diagonals | April – May 2026 Online Class Series
In this 2-month practice arc, we explore the body through loops, spirals, and diagonal pathways that organize balance from the ground upward. Beginning in the feet and moving through the legs, pelvis, trunk, and into the hands and shoulders, we trace connective pathways that support both stability and ease. To support continuity through the month of April this offering is shaped as a broader field of study—combining live classes with selected recordings for ongoing practice and integration.

SATYA 1 | Opening the Fascia | In-Person & Livestream Online Immersion
In a totally unique way, the SATYA practice opens doorways into the interior, providing new pathways of perception and feeling. It guides students away from “doing” movement and toward sensing, receiving and “being” movement. As an adjunct to yoga practice, somatic awareness leads to embodied wisdom.
SATYA is Prajna Yoga’s “yin” style practice. All the movements are done on the floor in a flowing fashion, without force. The SATYA movements cultivate inner listening and heighten proprioceptive awareness. This awareness is the body’s innate intelligence. By increasing our capacity for sensory awareness, we become more sentient, wakeful beings in the world. The exercises are non-weight bearing and involve sliding, gliding and circular movements to reduce myo-fascial holding in the body.
The SATYA training, along with yoga postures, involves neural-muscular re-education. Like in vinyasa training, breath is combined with movement in order to deepen the respiratory rhythm. All movements support profound physical rest of the body and prepare for savasana and yoga nidra (the yogic sleep).
MAY 1 – 3, 2026
Yoga Somatics – An Experiential Weekend of Embodied Practice with Tias & Surya Little in Berlin, Germany
A weekend to slow down—so the body can speak again.
Yoga Somatics is a precise, deeply nourishing approach to movement: subtle, intelligent, and profoundly effective. Guided by Tias and Surya Little—co-founders of Prajna Yoga and pioneers in SATYA (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga)—we explore the body’s inner pathways: fascia, joints, breath, circulation, spine, and the quiet current of prana that connects it all.
Expect a practice that is gentle, experiential, and surprisingly transformative. Less effort. More sensation. More space. More you.
MAY 16 – 17, 2026
Yoga for Energy & Vitality — Weekend Immersion with Tias & Surya Little in Turin, Italy
A weekend of insights with Tias and Surya Little.
MAY 22 – 25, 2026
Yoga, Fluidity & Form – Tias & Surya Yoga Retreat at The Falcon at Castle Ashby, England
When we are born, we are 80% water, yet over the course of a lifetime our tissues lose their fluidity, adaptability and suppleness. Dehydration of the tissues can lead to stiffness, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and chronic pain. When the fluid systems of the body get suffocated, they lose their circulatory rhythm, pulse and tempo. And how do we remain fluid and open systems emotionally and spiritually in this time of global strain?
In this immersion, we practice movement, meditation and yoga to bring fluidity to both body and mind. Through SATYA (somatic movement) and yoga, we free up the thousands of small tributaries of blood, lymph and nerve that travel through the connective tissues. Whether holding still in a pose or moving between poses, we cultivate suppleness and fluidity.

SATYA 2 | Pumping the Prana | In-Person & Livestream Online Immersion
Once you have felt the power of SATYA you will want to continue to soak in further. In SATYA 2, you will learn more complex sequencing, more nuanced variations of movement, and more about the physiological benefits. For those wishing to integrate SATYA into their teaching, SATYA 2 and 3 are a must. In this course, you will learn how to design SATYA sequences and assist movements to facilitate greater myofascial release.
In-depth Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement (SATYA)Â practices compliment asana practice while deeply restoring the body. They open the joint spaces, build sensory-motor awareness, re-educate the neural-muscular system and help develop bi-lateral symmetry.
In this second part of the training, we cover the shoulder girdle in detail. We have a section on SATYA and the cranial-sacral rhythm, SATYA and lymphatic drainage, and SATYA for pranayama. This training lays out the essentials for how to sequence the SATYA movements and how to combine them with asana. We learn how to practice and teach the movements beginning with the simplest forms and leading to greater complexity. Following completion of this training, you will be able to begin using the movements in your own classroom.
JUNE 28 – JULY 2, 2026
Advanced SATYA: Five Day Immersion | In-Person & Livestream Online Immersion
This immersion furthers the practice and study of SATYA, helping graduates of the program deepen their practice, teaching, and study of the work. In this week we build on the foundational forms and explore ways to combine movements into longer sequences of flow. We go further into SATYA as spatial medicine, to help change the tension in the connective tissue and open up the pathway of nadis. We cover the practice of nerve flossing, detailing the neuromuscular bundles that pass through the joint spaces, particularly in the hips and shoulders. We cover how to integrate props into the SATYA practice. This includes using the wall for resistance, using small physio balls to apply pressure point therapy, straps for the limbs and doing SATYA in the chair for people who cannot go to the floor. In this training we explore new ways to help stretch and pump the fascia via facilitated manual release. Throughout the week we will address questions and concerns that have arisen in the practice and teaching of SATYA since the conclusion of SATYA 3. This week provides a unique opportunity to be in a sangha of like-minded practitioners in order to share, learn and further evolve the SATYA work.
OCTOBER 17 – 21, 2026
SATYA 3 | Healing the Subtle Body | In-Person & Livestream Online Immersion
In-depth Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement (SATYA) practices compliment asana practice while deeply restoring the body. They open the joint spaces, build sensory-motor awareness, re-educate the neural-muscular system and help develop bi-lateral symmetry.
SATYA is so very therapeutic. The non-weight bearing movements are a perfect complement to weight-bearing in asana.
SATYA 3 investigates the therapeutic benefits of SATYA on the nervous system, endocrine system, digestion, and circulation in order to heal the subtle body. We specifically review SATYA’s effects on the autonomic nervous system and how SATYA can heal trauma in the body. Much focus is given to working with the neck, cranium, eyes, and inner ear. Students will learn how to utilize SATYA therapeutically with individual clients.
At the conclusion of SATYA 3, students who wish to complete the SATYA Certification design and fulfill a final practicum, using SATYA as a therapeutic modality.
