Called the Great Seal, this pose is key to lifting the organs, opening the prana in the chest and tonifying the throat via the throat seal (jalandhara bandha). We study the verses from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika dedicated to Mahamudra while practicing and cultivating the lift of all 3 bandhas (mula and uddiyana and jalandhara) using various asanas.

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.
Course Curriculum
Study with Tias & Surya
Deeply experienced and spiritual teachers, Tias and Surya honor the traditions of yoga and while bringing a holistic approach that will awaken your mind, body, and spirit.
Personal Transformation
We do not do poses for the sake of the pose, but for the quality of the attention within the pose. Through yoga postures, dharma study, guided meditation, the yoga of sound, somatic awareness, and dream work, this is a practice that allows for unique and personal transformation.
Journey Inward
In Sanskrit, the word Prajna means insight, deep understanding, and mindfulness. It suggests a dynamic embodied wisdom that permeates every cell and every tissue in the body. Prajna Yoga is a profound journey inward.
