Intensive Training Modules





Do you want to deepen transformation that you’ve experienced in PranaVayu classes? Join our intensive training program!

The PranaVayu Yoga intensive training program is designed to help you transform your life through short accessible weekend sessions.


These experiential programs are a perfect way to explore our alignment system, meditative practices and the ways in which we use our Buddhist inspired philosophy to take our yoga off of the mat and into the world.

You can choose to begin your experience with one or any combination of a series of three-day weekend modules.

Each program of study will primarily focus on putting principles into action through intensive yoga practice, lecture and guided meditation.
Upon successful completion of all three modules, graduates of the intensive training can apply for admission into the PranaVayu Yoga teacher-training program.


For those who are accepted, all 100 hours gained through the intensive training modules will transfer and be applied to the full 200-hour requirement for certification as a PranaVayu Yoga teacher.

These programs are open to anyone who wishes to attend.



Hardcore Alignment

PranaVayu Yoga has a unique theory of alignment based on skeletal positioning, developed by David Magone in 2007. Designed to take the guesswork out of body positioning during your practice, the PranaVayu Core alignment system helps you to achieve immediate improvements in strength, flexibility and balance.

Over the course of this intensive, you will learn the following concepts and integrate them into two daily yoga practices:

  • The benefits of efficient skeletal positioning
  • How to use the 9 lines of engagement to make it easier to position your yoga poses
  • Universal movement principles that can be easily applied to every type of posture that you will encounter in a yoga class

These sessions will include:
