We are delighted to announce have reconfigured our Art of Healing course into an on-line format that you can attend directly from your living room. The Art of Healing: Yoga Therapy is an in-depth training on how to modify the poses to address the limitations of your students. Our aim is to review the most common afflictions that a teacher will be confronted with in the classroom namely lower back pain, knee pain, sciatic pain, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, GI tract dysfunction, migraines, insomnia, cancer, and surgery.


Part 2: The Spine, Shoulders, and Skull

Aligning the neck, skull and shoulders is tricky, for the upper structures of the body are most prone to misalignment. At this time of the pandemic, all structures close to the brain are subject to clenching and holding due to anxiety, stress and sleeplessness. In this immersion we focus on jaw strain, shoulder imbalance and neck strain. You will learn the essential SATYA movements and asanas to stabilize the hands, wrists, shoulder girdle and neck using Prajna Yoga’s twelve most therapeutic poses. In meditation practice we weave in techniques to reduce stress and anxiety that accumulate in the upper trunk. Additionally, we cover the emotional and psychological issues that cause strain and blockage in the shoulders and neck. This course includes a short practicum to apply the work to your students, clients or family members.

*Each day includes meditation, anatomical study, demonstration, and Live Zoom practice.

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.

This course is closed for enrollment.

Tias Little

Provocative, subtle, learned, and humorous, Tias’ offerings prove a delightful way to learn. His combination of creative language and anatomical detail is unparalleled in yoga today. While in-depth and profound, his way of being is approachable, generous, and kind.

Surya Little

Intuitive and inspiring, Surya brings a dynamic yet compassionate presence to the classroom. Her understanding of the body is deeply rooted in diet, herbal remedies, and nutritional supplements. She specializes in women’s health and self-care, helping guide women to optimal well-being.
