Satya
Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement
You feel best when you are flowing inside.
You need a practice that allows all of your tissues to open and breathe. At Prajna Yoga, we designed a totally unique body of work to support ease, joy, and flow in the body. SATYA (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) is like a combination of dance, yin yoga, Feldenkrais, and myofascial release. This practice reduces fatigue by filling the body in prana. In order to sustain a practice for many decades, SATYA practice is a must.
Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement (SATYA) are movements that complement asana training. Yoga students and teachers, mind-body therapists, and people in the healing arts benefit greatly from this training.
There are three programs within the SATYA certification program where we practice fine articulated movement to open new pathways of perception and feeling. For students who want to become a Certified Prajna SATYA Teacher, you must attend SATYA 1-3, elective classes or lectures, and complete the outlined practicum to complete the 150 hour certification requirements.
SATYA 1:
It is time to open up a whole other dimension of movement. SATYA will add depth and somatic sophistication to your practice…and it is so healing. Designed and developed by Tias Little after 30 years of education, practice, study, and research, SATYA is a somatic practice that builds mindfulness through movement.
“I love SATYA practices. I feel like these are the practices that will take me into later life. I love the softness, being out of gravity, and the opportunity to really honor my own signature shape.”
– Sarah Hanks, LONDON UK
SATYA 2:
Once you have felt the power of SATYA you will want to continue to soak in further. Here 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.
“SATYA has healed my physical body, my relationship with my body, and my approach to yoga in so many ways. This practice is spacious enough to hold all bodies, and specific enough to create intimacy within the individual body and experience.”
– Logan Miles, Cookeville TN
Upcoming Online Dates: January 8 – February 6, 2025
SATYA 3:
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.
Upcoming In-Person Dates: June 18 – 22, 2025
