I started my private classes at the Pure yoga just over a year ago. I wanted to learn real yoga as a whole life philosophy. Before I tried different schools and teachers and it never click, always a piece was missing in the approach. With Pragyadhara I felt connected from the first moment. After some private sessions I went to group classes at her beautiful home studio. I was feeling unconfident and clumsy, as I did not have enough practice. Pragyadhara help me to build a simple daily routine that was so easy to implement and follow. When I heard that 108 yoga lifestyle course was scheduled I wanted to do it. But I doubt that I am capable to do it with almost no experience in yoga. Pragyadhara ensure me that it will be suitable for all the levels. And it was ! My journey begins July 2021 and for 6 month I been a student learning and practicing. Now i know so much more about yoga history, philosophy, meditation, breathing techniques. Yoga become my friend and tool that helped me to change my life for better in many aspects. I am practicing asanas, meditation and pranayama every day and can’t imagine my life with yoga anymore. The 108 course helped me to build the foundation and get deeper understanding of yoga. I am looking forward to do part 2 of the course this year. I am very grateful for teaching and support that Pragyadhara gave me. She is very knowledgeable in many areas including psychology, physiology and biomechanics. Pragyadhara have very kind and gentle approach. Thank you so much for everything that that you...
Read moreI started my yoga journey with Pragyadhara in 2016 when I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, and she has been an amazing teacher and mentor for me ever since. I have been able to build on my foundation through her weekly classes, specialty workshops and Yoga days. These have enabled me throughout the years to gradually expand my knowledge and deepen my practice by exploring different techniques of pranayama, meditation styles, restorative yoga, Hatha, Mantra, cleansing techniques, Yogic philosophy & importantly how this all translates into lifestyle.
Pragyadhara supports you to explore a wide range of practices all at your pace. You learn to develop your own personal practice which is a gift and to integrate yoga into daily life. I know which practices to apply when depending on what my body and mind are in need of; to essentially just be of great aid on this great crazy joyride we call 'life'. It has been an absolute blessing to have her as my teacher, guide and mentor in so many ways, and she has supported me through some challenging life situations.
Today's world of yoga I find can be somewhat overwhelming, and one often wonders where to even start. How to build a consistent practice that becomes part of your life and healthy living, a practice that resonates with YOU. If you are looking to start such a journey I highly recommend Pragyadhara. I have never met anyone so knowledgeable and yet so humble. She is a great teacher and mentor to guide you to experience and...
Read moreI discovered Pragyadhara walking past the yoga shala looking through the window as she was giving a class, this was during my stay at Kawai purapura. Even from the outside I could feel the energy of the room and the presence created and held in this space. I enrolled from the next week on. Then stayed another 3 months to continue to learn. Pragyadharas classes are like nothing I had experienced in yoga. I felt more present in these classes then ever before. I was nourished on the level of my mind, body and energetically. Learning after the first class that the name 'Pragyadhara' mean the flow of wisdom, which is exactly what the classes embody. Guided into each asana with wisdom effortlessly flowing into me. Wisdom of yoga philosophy, of anatomy, also cues for mindfulness, awakening and tips to take away for sadhana. What I enjoyed the most about these classes was in every word and instruction I was guided into the experience of becoming my own teacher. Witnessing myself, becoming sensitive to fine tune my practice. Separating herself as the 'Teacher' instead empowering us with this wisdom to learn from what is within. Since this class (and many more) I received a scholarship, gifted by Pragydahara to become a Hatha teacher myself, now teaching and living in an ashram I can say my life has taken path. I am honored to now be passing on the teachings that were past onto me. I am eternally grateful....
