Pranayamas of Classical Yoga
3-course bundle with master teachers A. G. Mohan & Indra Mohan
Learn the theory, practice, tradition, and science of all important classical pranayamas from master teachers. Equip yourself for lifelong wellbeing and inner peace with these powerful, ancient breathing systems.
Yoga has the unique distinction of working in-depth with the breath for millennia. The ancient hatha yoga texts describe eight types of pranayama techniques: sūryabhedana, ujjāyī, sītalī, sītkārī, bhastrikā, bhrāmarī, mūrccā and plāvinī. And to this, they add nāḍīśodhana, candrabhedana, and kapalabhāti.
These eleven techniques are the complete set of breathing methods in classical hatha-yoga. Every serious yoga student and every yoga teacher should know these well. The Mohans offer yoga students and teachers a unique opportunity to learn the full spectrum of these practices from a trusted, in-depth, accessible, and clear source.
In this course bundle, you will absorb the theory, practice, tradition, and science of all these important classical pranayamas from master teachers. You will be able to practice and teach these pranayamas with confidence. You can be sure that you are on the right path to grow your pranayama, lifelong.
Not only will you understand the theory of these pranayamas directly from the ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, you will also be guided in their practice with the clear and effective instructions from the teachings of the great yogi Sri Krishnamacharya.
Further, you will learn the therapeutic applications of pranayama based on ayurveda, find answers to common practical questions, explore various facets of pranayama such as combining it with a mantra, and more.

Teachers
A. G. Mohan is one of the foremost yoga masters in this era. He began his yoga journey in 1971, spending nearly two decades as a personal student of the legendary yogi Sri Krishnamacharya. Then he immersed himself in further wide-ranging studies of ayurveda, samkhya, tantra, ancient India dramatics, jyotisha, and more over decades. He is the author of several books on yoga, including Yoga for Body, Breath, and Mind, Yoga Therapy, and Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings.
Indra Mohan began her yoga studies along with her husband, A.G. Mohan, in 1971. She is one of few people to receive a post-graduate diploma in yoga from Sri Krishnamacharya. She is appreciated by students not only for her extensive knowledge and clear teachings, but also for her wisdom and calm presence. She has guided many thousands of students over five decades to increase their wellbeing, manage their health problems, and find personal and spiritual transformation.
Dr. Ganesh Mohan, son of A. G. Mohan and Indra Mohan, was trained from childhood in yoga and other related traditional studies. He is a doctor, having trained in both modern medicine and Ayurveda. He is the co-author of Yoga Therapy, Krishnamacharya, and Yoga Reminder. He directs the Svastha Yoga Therapy and Teacher Training programs as well as other trainings internationally.

Getting insights from long term teachers and practitioners as the Mohan family is invaluable. There is a lot of clarity and simplicity in the explanations of how our mind works and the role of desire. I loved all the practices they taught in this course to move towards inner peace, soooo useful! I really appreciate all the teachings received.

TRUSS K
Perfect pace, perfect presentation
Can not be better. Learned a lot even though I already knew the basics: the Imbalance of one person is his own balance, we should not focused only on production of Agni but balance it! Immediately understood why my practice of Pranayama was not fully effective, and when I added to to it Sitali paranayama, I started to feel better. Now I will look also at the diet.
DILLARO S
A generous and very informative course
Thank you for a very rich course. I want to highlight in particular the precisions and nuances introduced by Dr. Ganesh Mohan, as well as the deep of knowledge shared by AG Mohan. It seems to me much more than a 5.5 hours program... much to reflect on :)
