But asanas have subtle effect in pranic(energy) body as well.If asanas are praticed with awarenes , these are more effective and unblock the nadis(energy channels).According to yogic text , there are 72000 nadis in the body. If these are blocked , we get diseases.So asanas are helpful in removing energy blockges.Asanas remove energy blockages from annamaya kosha(food sheath) so that prana(energy) becomes subtle enough to enter the next energy sheath. Annamaya kosha is one of the panch koshas(five energy sheath). What is yoga teacher training? Students practice different pranayamas in this yoga course. Pranayamas are breathing practices.And it is proved in many studies that pranayamas has many health benefits.Pranayamas improves lungs capacity and beneficial in many diseases like ashtma , hypertension , diabetes etc.On subtle level pranayamas work on pranamaya kosha(energy seath).
People joins yoga studios and they only practice asana there.They don't know about other yogic practices which are helpful in creating balance.One of such practices is Shatkarma. Shatkarmas(six cleansing practices) are part of this yoga teacher training course.The shatkarmas have been mentioned in tradtional hatha yoga texts like hathpradipika , gherenda samhita etc.The shatkarmas do cleansing of differt organs in a natural way.These kriyas purifies digestive system , ears , nostrils , lungs , eyes etc.
Mudras(seal) are another yogic practices. These are higher practices which are practiced for awakening the dorment centers in the brain.These create energy circuit and stimulte different energy points present in subtle body so there can be awakening.Mudras are practiced for kundalini awakening as well.
Bandhas(energy locks) can be practiced seperately or these are practiced with pranayamas.According to yoga philoshoply , energies are flowing in different directions in subtle body.By applying the bandhas during pranayamas , these reverse the dirctions of energies.So there can be bursting and we can experience the spiritual awakening.
But bandhas are beneficial for throat ailments.These balances the digestive system , reproductive system , excretory system.These tones the nervous system and imrpoves blood circulation.

The word “prana’ means “vital energy” or vital/life force”, and the word “ayama” means “expansion” or “control”.

Shatkrarmas consists of six groups of cleansing practices in order to purify one's body and mind. The word "Shat" means "six" and "Karma" means action.The aim of shatkarmas is to create harmony between two vital flows, ida, and pingala, hence attaining mental and physical purification.The shatkarmas also balance the three doshas or universal life forces in the body, vata(wind), pitta(bile), kapha(mucus). Students will learn and practice the following shatkarmas:

  • Jala Neti

  • Sutra Neti

  • Sheetkram Kapalbhati

In yoga, mudrās are hand gestures that are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) to help stimulate different parts of the body, which in turn have a positive effect on one’s mood. Mudras are generally done while seated in Padmasana, Sukhasana or Vajrasana poses. Students will learn :

  • Jnana Mudra

  • Chin Mudra

  • Shambhavi Mudra

  • Nabho Mudra

  • Vipreeta Mudra

Bandha' (bond, arrest) is a term used for the "body locks" in Hatha Yoga. Bandhas are engaged to gain control and lock your energy (pranayama or life force) the way you want. The locks are engaged to obtain control of your energy system, and to direct that energy to the parts of your body that needs it. There are four main bandhas in the body and the student will learn these:

  • Mula Bandha - contraction of the perineum

  • Uddiyana bandha - contraction of the abdomen into the rib cage

  • Jalandhara Bandha - tucking the chin close to the chest

  • Maha Bandha - locking of the Mula, Uddiyana and Jalandhara bandhas at the same tim

Whatever you do with full attention and awareness is meditation. "Watching” your breath is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. So long as these activities are free from distractions to the mind, it is effective meditation. Students will learn and practice various meditation techniques.

Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping that helps to reduce stress. It is similar to the “going-to-sleep” state and is typically induced by a guided meditation. Students will learn the technique for guiding a Yoga Nidra practice.
