SAMANVAYA YOGA

20h Certified YACEP Pranayama & Meditation Training
Join us for a profound journey into the heart of yogic practice, a 20-hour immersion dedicated to the art and science of breath and meditation. Designed as a more accessible and spacious alternative to the full 40-hour training, this Yoga Alliance Continuing Education immersion offers an opportunity to explore the foundations of Pranayama and Meditation through direct experience, practice, reflection, and understanding.
The immersion is open to absolutely everybody, from complete beginners and dedicated practitioners to yoga teachers and wellness professionals wishing to deepen their relationship with breath and meditation. Rather than approaching these practices simply as techniques, we will explore them as powerful pathways toward greater awareness, clarity, inner steadiness, and vitality.
Whether you are looking to enrich your personal practice or to begin weaving breath and meditation more consciously into your teaching, this immersion offers an integrated and experiential approach rooted in classical yogic wisdom and supported by modern understanding. Together, we will explore a diverse range of practices — from breath awareness and classical Pranayama to silent and breath-centred meditation, active meditation, visualisation, mantra and mindfulness practices... offering you a rich spectrum of tools to support body, mind, and deeper awareness.
The intention is to immerse, experience, understand, and leave with practices you can meaningfully integrate into your everyday life and, for teachers, into your teaching.
