Purna Yoga
the heart of yoga
“Man in the world's life works out
the dreams of God.”
~Sri Aurobindo
Purna Yoga Teacher Training
Washington State Licensed Vocational School
Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher Training School
“Purna” means “complete,” and Purna Yoga distills and integrates the vastness of yoga into an invaluable set of tools for transformation and healing. Reminding us that yoga is far more than a system of exercise, Purna Yoga offers wisdom and techniques for the union of the body and the mind with the spirit. Using awareness, precision, and concentration, Purna Yoga inspires the evolution from our lower nature to our Divine Self. It is the art of loving yourself by living from the heart.
Purna Yoga practitioners learn alignment-based asana, pranayama, and Purna Yoga Meditation (the art of aligning inner energies for transformation), along with nutrition and yogic philosophy, adapted for our lifestyles today. Like a tuning fork, Purna Yoga aligns our entire being with the vibration of truth and the Divine essence within us and all around us.
The lineage of Purna Yoga is based on the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the Vedas, Patanjali, B.K.S. Iyengar, and the systems of Ayurvedic, Chinese and Western nutrition, synthesized by the personal experience of Aadil Palkhivala and Mirra, the founders of Purna Yoga. With its roots in the past and its reach into the future, Purna Yoga is here to help create the world we have all dreamed of.
It is undeniable that, in order for you to be an inspiring teacher, you must first be an inspired practitioner. Therefore, the classes at the College of Purna Yoga first instill within you a deep love for your own personal practice. Only then can you share your love of yoga with your students. As a practitioner, you will learn to integrate Purna Yoga deeply into your own body and life. As a yoga teacher, you will learn to teach from this inner experience.
