Pranayama Teacher Training: The Art and Science of Breath
Unlock the power of your breath in this comprehensive 30-hour training led by Meera Dhawan. This hybrid course combines classical yoga with modern science. As a result, you will learn how to use the breath to bridge the nervous system and emotional health. Furthermore, Meera uses a trauma-informed approach. Therefore, you can safely deepen your own practice while learning to teach others with care.
Through online modules and in-person weekends, you will master essential breath techniques. Specifically, you will learn how to calm, activate, and balance the energy body. In addition, you will study student needs using simple frameworks like the gunas and vayus. Then, you will use proven formulas to create custom breath sequences. Whether you teach Vinyasa, Yin, or private sessions, you will gain the skills to lead with confidence and safety.
