100 Hour Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness Teacher Training
A 100-hour specialist training in yogic breath (prāṇāyāma), with our philosophical themes and contemplative relaxation woven in as the natural fruit of the practice.
Rooted in the Gitananda traditions, the course gives you a complete, safe, classical system of breath — and the contemplative tools (dhāraṇā, yoga nidrā, prāṇa kriyā) that the breath opens into.
One Saturday a month for twelve months at LoveYour.Studio, Farnborough. Led by Yogacharini Deepika Giri and Prajnananda (Marcio Rosa).
Train to teach breath from the source.

and more
Contemplative practices the breath opens into
Trāṭaka, ajapā, breath as anchor, mantra as anchor — the dhāraṇā path to one-pointed focus.
Contemplation: classical themes
Selected yamas and niyamas held as contemplative anchors — ahiṁsā (non-harming), satya (truthfulness), svādhyāya (self-study), vairāgya (detachment), santoṣa (contentment). Not as rules — as living enquiries.
Contemplation: modern psychology bridge
Life scripts, inner narrative, positivity and the negativity bias, self-compassion, healthy boundaries. Drawn from counselling and contemporary mindfulness — but traced back to their yogic roots, so you can teach the bridge with integrity.
Yoga nidrā & prāṇa kriyā
Conscious deep relaxation, prāṇa awareness, and the Gitananda Prāṇa Kriyā method.
Nāda Yoga: the path of sound
Gentle bhajan, mantra, and the use of sound as a vehicle for inner awareness. Chanting as breath practice, mantra as anchor for dhāraṇā, and listening practices that train the contemplative ear. Approachable for every voice — no musical background needed.
Safety, contraindications & teaching skills
Adapting breathwork for pregnancy, high blood pressure, anxiety, and respiratory conditions. Cueing breath safely, sequencing a breath-led class, holding silence, trauma-aware delivery.
