What You Will Gain


A lived understanding of pranayama, mantra and mudra.

Not just concepts or techniques, but embodied practices you can feel, practise and trust.

A steadier nervous system.

Breath practices that calm reactivity, improve focus, and support emotional regulation — tools you can use in real life, not just on the mat.

Confidence with subtle practice.

Knowing how to work with breath, sound and gesture safely and intelligently, without force or strain.

A personal, sustainable practice.

Clear guidance on how to practise at home in a way that fits your life — short, effective, and meaningful.

Greater sensitivity and awareness.

An increased ability to listen inwardly, notice subtle shifts, and respond rather than react.

Direct access to traditional teachings.

Practices taught in their original spirit,

informed by Indian training and experience, rather than diluted modern versions.

Depth beyond asana.

A fuller experience of yoga as a holistic, living practice, not just movement, but inner steadiness and clarity.

Who is this For?

This course is open to all who are curious and committed to a yogic life. No previous experience of pranayama, mantra or mudra is required, only a willingness to practise and listen deeply.


Expect a calm, reflective Thursday evening ritual.

Tools for grounding, clarity, and emotional steadiness

This course is designed as a gradual unfolding — each week building on the last, allowing the practices to land in the body, nervous system and daily life.
No pressure, no performance — simply a space to understand yoga on a deeper level and feel it come alive in your daily life.

Bringing the practices into daily life. Closing practices, reflection, and how to continue safely and confidently beyond the course.
