Services
Hot Yoga
Our hot yoga classes use infrared heat panels and controlled humidity to create optimal conditions for deep stretching and detoxification. The 96-98F environment with 40% humidity enhances flexibility while far infrared technology promotes cellular detoxification. Students benefit from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced collagen production through this scientifically designed heating system.
Yoga Teacher Training
Prana's 200 & 300-hour Yoga Alliance certified programs provide comprehensive training in asana, pranayama, meditation, and yoga philosophy. Our curriculum includes anatomy studies, teaching methodology, and practicum experience. Graduates receive six months of free yoga and access to continuing education opportunities through our global network.
Restorative Yoga
Specialized restorative classes use props and supported poses to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This practice reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and promotes deep relaxation. Sessions incorporate breathwork and guided meditation to enhance the therapeutic benefits for mind and body.
Prenatal Yoga
Tailored classes for expectant mothers focus on preparing the body for childbirth through gentle postures and breathing techniques. The practice addresses common discomforts while building strength and flexibility. Instructors emphasize pelvic floor awareness and partner-assisted poses for labor preparation.
Kids Yoga
Age-appropriate classes combine movement, storytelling, and mindfulness games to develop body awareness and focus. Sessions improve coordination while teaching stress management techniques through playful sequences and partner poses adapted for different developmental stages.
