Pranayama


This 10 week immersion primarily focuses on the practical steps to teaching Pranayama with authenticity & integrity, as well as a comprehensive exploration of safe, brave and trauma informed approaches to practice & teaching.

You will learn a diverse range of breath techniques, and how they can be adapted for different outcomes. You will learn to confidently approach health conditions & restrictions, so that you can teach powerful breath work to all people - from foundational practices to dynamic kriya.

Pranayama is an incredibly accessible, inclusive & powerful Yoga practice, with the potential to transform wellbeing on every level.

The practices are grounded in a thorough study of non-dual philosophy, as well as subtle body anatomy.

Our approach is practical & experiential, students will be encouraged to begin teaching these techniques & practices with one another from the very first week.

Exploring the true History

Exploring the true History of Yoga means sitting with some deeply disturbing and uncomfortable truths about the British colonisation of India, and the subsequent shadows of how Yoga was brought to the West.

During our immersion, we will cultivate a kind, compassionate and brave space as we thoroughly explore how we might continue to both practice and share the deeply healing path of Yoga, whilst at the same time being a part of a much-needed change in Global attitudes and appropriation.

This is a proactive step to honour Yoga's rich history, and, explore how we might share the practices with respect, in a time when they are so needed.

Uma is passionate about History and Philosophy and weaves the two together over six sessions during the final immersive week, providing space for deep discussion about how we might sincerely move from Cultural Appropriation to Appreciation.

  • 30-hour advanced certification in pranayama with Yoga Alliance International
  • Expert tuition with Uma Neave

In addition, you will be paired appropriately with another student to share experiences and practice teaching - we encourage you to do this as much as you you possibly can so that you get as much experience as possible during the course and graduate with unshakeable confidence to teach.

This structure cultivates unparalleled support, making sure that you get the most out of your immersion.
