Join Tias and Surya for in-depth studies under the blue skies on sacred land for inspiration, healing, and well being!
Prajna’s in-depth study immersions invite you on a journey to remember yourself. Each day, sun salutation is a reminder to offer gratitude to the big sky and the sacred land beneath your feet. The Prajna Temple, a healing sanctuary of learning, offers space for an intimate group of 24 students to study together. Mornings generally include meditation, a dharma talk, along with a deep yoga practice, while afternoons offer restorative asanas, poetry, and silence. While here, enjoy contemplative time by the koi pond.
Sit in the sacred sun with an organic meal prepared especially for you. Share walks on the land. Journey one evening for water therapy to Ten Thousand Waves. Savor a meal at one or the finest restaurants in the southwest. At the end of the day, feel peace coursing through you, thankful to have taken this time to honor yourself.
In this course we take a posture, map out the anatomical layers of fascia, and practice different techniques to release the connective tissue. Morning sessions are devoted to asana and SATYA movements that enhance the flow of fascia through the body. In the afternoons we work in pairs to manually facilitate release in the pose by lifting, stretching, compressing or spiraling the fascia.
Each practice includes somatic movements and yoga poses to bring coherence to the motion of the entire spine. In the pelvis, we do practices to release the sacroiliac joint and stretch and open the powerful musculature of the outer hips. In the skull, we practice SATYA, asana, and meditation to address the brain and sensory organs. All yoga postures are designed to benefit the fluid dynamics of the spine, spinal cord, and intervertebral discs. In addition to practicing asana and SATYA for cranial-sacral health, this training includes guided hands-on work to facilitate release of the cranium, spine, and pelvis.
In this course, you will learn not only how to weave a class together, but how to find the best descriptive language to facilitate opening in a posture. Tias and Surya coach students on how to choreograph sequences of movement while articulating the structural and energetic quality of the pose. This immersion will give you the confidence to create practices that are inviting, supportive, and fun.
In this immersion we dive into sequences that will help deepen and diversify your practice. We work on more complex variations of hip openers, back arches, twists, and inversions. Our aim is to help you become stable in difficult poses that we believe are essential to have in your practice such as the forearm balance, the headstand-backbend, and new variations on shoulder-stand.
