In this class we explore the rich and powerful teachings from one of the oldest of yoga texts, the Mandukya Upanishad. This short text provides insight into the nature of OM, waking, dreaming and cultivating peace. We will see how consciousness is inseparable from OM and how the heart of this treatise lays the groundwork for later Buddhist teachings on non-grasping and emptiness. Through meditation, movement practice and discussion, this class embodies essential themes from the Mandukya Upanisad.

Prajna Yoga: Tias & Surya Little
Prajna Yoga makes its home in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico – the home of Tias and Surya Little. We believe that yoga is a pathway that begins in the outer layers of body and mind and navigates inward to the mystical, subtle and rarely seen interior. We combine meditative practice with the power and grace of asana training. In a process that requires sensitivity and inner listening, we explore the sheaths of connective tissue, muscle and bone in order to bring about greater wakefulness, luminosity and space within.
