  • The What

    Yoga isn’t just poses, and it’s not all about the physical body. Yoga Home’s in-depth program covers everything from:

    *philosophy (creation theory, subtle body theory etc.)

    *physical anatomy (body systems, anatomy concepts etc.)

    *subtle anatomy (cakra, nadī, marma points, mudrā etc.)

    *language (saṃskṛitam, mantra, classical texts, cueing etc.)

    *tools (prāṇāyāma, āsana, āyurveda, jyotiṣa, etc.)

    *and so much more!

  • The Why

    Yoga is a science that dates back to around 1000 BCE and has sustained its relevancy throughout its history. The practice of yoga invites a personal revolution to ease and joy through:

    *self-reflection

    *embodied practices

    *deconstruction of negative thought patterns.

  • The How

    Teaching yoga isn’t about copying the teacher, following a set sequence, or giving generic cues. It’s about developing your authentic self so that the teachings are an overflow of your own experience. Through your own understandings of the teachings, you develop who YOU are as you offer your guidance.

Proposed Dates for 2026:

Our Dates are flexible and agreed upon by the cohort at the beginning of class. We know life happens and people have plans! If you have a conflicted date, let us know and as a group, we will support the switch to a date that everyone can make.

Why 265 Hours?

Because we know it’s impossible to get a good grasp of the purpose of yoga in a short amount of time. Our training offers 265 hours to give you the smallest taste of what yoga’s deeper unfolding of yoga and gives you tools to continue your own exploration and learning on your journey! Your teachings come from your lived experience.

  • Hansa has been leading her 265-hour Contemplative Yoga Teacher Training (CYTT) program for over two decades through her studio, PranaYoga and Ayurveda Mandala in Denver, CO. Hansa and her team have trained hundreds of yoga students to teach in a way that is in-line and deeply inspired by the Kripalu lineage and her teacher Swami Kripalvananda, among others. Through this training you will gain confidence in guiding a yoga class, as well as studying other tools of exploration, including concepts from the Vedic Sciences and modern adaptations of these practices.

but the one who inspires you to discover the answers within.

  • Samantha has been practicing and teaching yoga for two decades. She has studied many facets of the Vedic Sciences including jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology) and āyurveda (Vedic science of living and health).

    She began sharing Hansa’s life work in 2021 when she started teaching Hansa’s 265-hr. Contemplative Yoga Teacher Training to students in Colorado Springs.

    She brings the love of her teacher with her own life’s experiences, and sprinkles in the wisdom of her other teachers. She is eternally grateful for the honor of sharing what she’s learned.
