Watch a video interview with Aadil Palkhivala. The Purna Yoga Teaching Training is designed to be taken many, many times to be fully absorbed. Nationally renowned teachers have taken this training over a dozen times. It is a deep study and practice of the foundational work of teaching yoga. The curriculum focuses on learning how to teach asana and pranayama, including alignment, adjustments, presentation, prop use, basic therapeutic applications, and how asana relates to one’s daily life. You will learn how to teach the basics of standing poses, inversions, twists, backbends, forward bends, the Opening Series, Morning Series, Hip Opening Series, Classical Surya Namaskar, and the basics of pranayama. The course also includes instruction in Purna Yoga Meditation, musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology, and nutrition. As in all Purna Yoga classes, the course teaches how Purna Yoga is to be lived and gives you a deeper understanding of how to integrate meditation, yogic philosophy, and nutrition into your yoga classes and your life. While the course focuses on how to teach yoga, the work itself inspires personal growth and inner wisdom. This training is for you if you want to deepen your current yoga teaching skills, or if you intend to teach some day and want to develop your knowledge and skills. This course consists of lecture, demonstration, and lots of hands-on practice. The cost includes Aadil’s coveted manual, “Teaching Purna Yoga.” Prerequisite: 1 year alignment-based yoga Purna Yoga “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. Purna Yoga 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 which we have all dreamed of. Bio For nearly thirty years, Aadil has had a reputation as a “teacher of teachers.” He has a unique teaching style, mixing melodious instructions with recitations of poetry and philosophical insights with in-the-moment humor. Aadil began the study of yoga with B.K.S. Iyengar at the age of 7 and was introduced to the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother at the age of 10. When Aadil was twenty, he embarked on his first teaching tour of Europe and North America. Two years later, Iyengar awarded him the Advanced Yoga Teacher’s Certificate. Aadil is the founder of Purna Yoga, the co-founder and director of internationally renowned Yoga Centers in Bellevue, Washington, and The College of Purna Yoga, a 1,700 hour vocational college licensed by the State of Washington, with his wife, Mirra. Aadil is the author of the book, Fire of Love: For Students of Life, For Teachers of Yoga, and is an “asana expert” for Yoga Journal magazine and website. He is regularly featured in My Yoga Mentor email newsletter and is constantly educating himself in his passion for teaching the “whole yoga.” www.aadil.com
