​

Expand your knowledge as you explore the Intensive.

           The AGNI Intensive & Teacher Training covers a broad spiritual spectrum to reflect the depth and dimension of the system of Shabd Kriya Yoga from which this work has evolved. The Intensive presents teachings on:

​

Conscious Asana & Alignment

Holistic & Ayurvedic Anatomy

The Pranic Body and Major Nadis 

Subtle Body Structure and Tantric Chakra System

 True Mind and Soul Body

​

Study the philosophy of Yoga through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, The Kriya Yoga Upanishads, Vijnana Bharaiva and other beloved historical texts as well as through the course "Love Notes" which are an extensive manual created from over 20 years of yogic tools and resources.  AGNI is for those souls who wish to practice with others of a similar thirst.

 

To fulfill the graduation and certification requirements

for AGNI in Yoga as Therapy, you will need to:

1. Make time for a daily self-practice. 

2. Take a minimum two Yoga classes of your choosing each week

either live with the instructor present, or in archived classes.

3. Attend live or watch 2 - 3 lecture/discussions on each theme.

4.  Submit your written homework requiring 2 - 10 hours for each module.  

​

Times for Yoga as Therapy methodology and Ayurvedic Yoga lectures depend on the availability of the current group of Teacher Trainees. Please note that these sessions are additional to weekly Yoga and meditation classes and  practices.  

​

The momentum for the Intensive truly comes from the students.  Online students may graduate in as little as 6 and no more than 28 months. As  the Intensive Training is currently self-paced, each student moves on to the next of 13 modules after the last is completed, allowing for individual evolution, intellectual research and spiritual contemplation throughout the course!

3 Main Aspects of Online Training

Breaking down the requirements:

​

 

1. Commitment to a Self-Practice  

Meditation, asana and Kriya practices are given, centering around each module's theme.  Detailed written notes, with photos, drawings and often videos are sent out via email so the materials can be studied and embodied.  Each module's Kriya Yoga series may take between 90 – 180 minutes, depending on how the session is approached. 

 

Ideally, Yoga happens in a clean, silent, sacred space.  After taking live Zoom classes or viewing a recorded session, AGNI students are encouraged to explore the material more deeply.  Working on Kriya and meditation practices from personal notes as well as course materials, students find their true mind and body rhythms, especially with all media and internet turned off!

 

2. Participate in TeachingsYoga Classes, Dharma Talks, Group Discussions 

* See the full online Schedule below. 

A minimum of 2 live, online, or archived yoga classes must be attended and documented each week throughout the training.

These can be with Lea or with any PRANA MANDIR Yoga graduate.

​

Minimum 3 hours each week for study in the form of  Dharma talks, Wisdom teachings & Group Discussions on:

Kriya Yoga & Tantric Philosophy

Methodologies for Healing & the Inner Technology of Health

Ayurvedic Principals & Anatomy 

Teaching methodology

The Art of Breath - Prana As Medicine

Guidance for working with Students and Clients Therapeutically 

 

Dharma Talks and Live Discussions are scheduled according to the current group's availability.   Times can shift to meet current needs. Recorded archives from current and previous trainings are available for registered AGNI students in order to review or catch up with each module's requirements.

​

3. For Each Theme, Homework is Given. 

Assignments are written, some ask for journaling, self-reflection, and even art projects are given.  Additional physical practices, contemplations, etc. can also be helpful along the way.​  Students should plan for a minimum of 3 hours each week to be set aside for written homework.
