I see regular classes as the starting point, but there comes a time when you want to go deeper. My specialized yoga workshops are for anyone who feels the urge to explore yoga as more than just movement. This is where information turns into real, lived knowledge. ### What We Explore - **Pranayama Sadhana:** We get into advanced pranayama training, moving past basic asanas to really understand breath and subtle energy. These are intensive, only twice a year, available online or in-person in Whitefield. Expect a mix of practice and open, no-filter discussion. - **Themed Asana Workshops:** Each month, we pick a focus - maybe something challenging like Hanumanasana or backbends. It’s about the journey, not nailing a perfect pose. We break things down, have fun, and sometimes things get sweaty. - **Yoga Teacher Skill-Building:** If you teach, I run hands-on adjustment and other workshops to help you grow with confidence. No jargon, just useful stuff you can use right away. - **Relief-Focused & Community Yoga Events:** Sometimes it’s about healing - like workshops for back pain or breathing issues. Other times, it’s about the community - free sessions, Women’s Day events, whatever brings people together. ### Who’s It For? - You’ve been on the mat for at least a year - You want a deep dive yoga sadhana, not just a workout - Teachers looking to refine and experiment - Some sessions need you to already know certain poses, so check details ### The Feel We keep it real, curious, and supportive - whether it’s a tight-knit online group or in-person in Bangalore. If you’re serious about growing, you’ll find your tribe here. ## Highlights Browse through Pratyaksha Yoga's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/specialized-yoga-workshops-programs/featured) - [Video: A physical correction is an intimate dialogue between teacher and student, guided by breath.

Yashwanth started off teaching on the mat, hours every day, but soon realized yoga wasn’t just about guiding others—it was changing him too. That spark led us here: helping folks not just learn, but teach, so the light spreads. We don’t hand out answers. We help you see your own path, just like our Gurus did for us. That’s what matters—finding your own light. ### My work - **What we offer**: Hatha Yoga Teacher Training (Level 1 & 2), Pranayama Sadhana, workshops, and online yoga classes. - **Yoga beyond poses**: We focus on conscious yoga practice, not just asanas. It's about creativity and inner awareness. - **Start when you’re ready**: We guide with questions before any course. Growth needs the right timing, not rushing. - **Guidance over perfection**: Corrections aren’t about perfect poses—they’re about helping your body learn alignment and breath. - **Community matters**: We grow together, not alone. Every step counts, and we’re here for the journey. ## More services from Pratyaksha Yoga - [Yoga Retreats](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-retreats) · ₹38-85K per person (estimate) - [Yoga Teacher Training](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-teacher-training) · ₹75K-1.1L per course (estimate) ## Experts similar to Pratyaksha Yoga on mytribe - [Specialized Yoga Workshops by Yogavijnana](https://mytribe.in/yogavijnana/specialized-yoga-workshops) · ₹500-7,000 per session (estimate) · Yogavijnana - [Specialized & Corporate Yoga Workshops by Ramya](https://mytribe.in/tattva-hatha-yoga/specialized-corporate-yoga-workshops) · ₹1.2-15K per session (estimate) · Yoga Classes - Tattva HathaYoga - [Specialized Yoga Workshops by Nikaya Yoga](https://mytribe.in/nikaya-yoga/specialized-yoga-workshops) · ₹750-2,600 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Cultural & Wellness Workshops by Nitesh Batra](https://mytribe.in/ashtangayogasadhna/cultural-wellness-workshops) · ₹300-4,500 per workshop (estimate) · Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna - Yoga for Everyone - [Specialized Yoga Programs by Aadhya Power Yoga](https://mytribe.in/aadhyayoga/specialized-yoga-programs) · ₹3,000-5,000 per session (estimate) · Aadhya Power Yoga Studio - [Specialized Yoga & Wellness Workshops by Aayana Yoga](https://mytribe.in/aayanayogaacademy/specialized-yoga-wellness-workshops) · ₹1,000-1,500 per workshop (estimate) · Aayana Yoga Academy- Transformative Yoga Classes - [Yoga Workshops & Events by The Happy Yoga Community](https://mytribe.in/the_happy_yoga_community_/yoga-workshops-events) · ₹800-2,000 per session (estimate) · The Happy Yoga Community - [Yoga & Wellness Workshops by San Yoga](https://mytribe.in/sanyogastudio/yoga-wellness-workshops) · ₹199-999 per workshop (estimate) · San Yoga Studio - [Specialized Yoga Workshops by Bindu Madhavi](https://mytribe.in/bindumadhaviyoga/specialized-yoga-workshops) · ₹499-1,800 per person (estimate) · Sri Subhadra Yoga Shala ## Book To book Pratyaksha Yoga, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Specialized%20Yoga%20Workshops%20%26%20Programs%20by%20Pratyaksha%20Yoga.)
