Prana Vinyasa® Teacher Immersion & Training Course Schedule and Policies

You Are Invited

You are invited on a seven-month journey of embodied exploration and growth with your guide, Theresa ONeil. Whether you are new to teaching, an experienced teacher wanting to expand your offerings, or you just want to deepen your practice, this Immersion will give you the tools and skills you need to practice Yoga as movement meditation. Practices that make you stronger and more fluid in mind, body, and spirit. That connect you to your essential Self.

Grounded with the teachings and practices of renowned global yoga innovator and firekeeper Shiva Rea, this Embodying Flow for All: Prana Vinyasa® Teacher Immersion and Training shares practices with ancient roots to help us navigate modern times. You’ll gain experience to help you shine in soulful times and to share your light with students, family, friends and community.

“Not all vinyasas or sequences have flow. A sequence of events or of yoga asanas can happen quite mechanically or logically….You can know hundreds of recipes of vinyasa that may make a decent yoga class without really entering the transforming flow. We know that the art of yoga is not a set of techniques but the heart of the artist-chef-river guide which brings us to you!
