Yoga begins to transform us when it moves beyond the boundaries of the mat and starts informing the way we relate to life itself.
The way we breathe through discomfort.
The way we nourish ourselves.
The way we speak, listen, move, rest, reflect, and meet others.
Our latest blog reflects on yoga as a path of integration, where practice gradually becomes something we embody within everyday life, rather than something reserved only for the yoga shala.

We're sharing a secret. 🤫
At Shri Gaia, our Shri Vinyasa sequences are built on a recipe, one that goes beyond flexibility and strength into something subtler: the nervous system, the mind, and the quality of your awareness after you leave the mat.
Our sequencing is anatomically intelligent and energetically precise. Designed to bring you into the Sattvic zone: alert, clear, focused and deeply calm.
Our 200-hour trainees know it well, and as a result, become sought-after teachers who lead intelligent sequences and inspiring classes.
Now we're offering you a glimpse. To learn delve deeper into the whys and hows, attend one of our 200-hour Teacher Trainings. 🔗 in bio.

In yoga, the quality of the breath directly shapes the quality of the practice. Breath influences
the nervous system, emotional regulation, mental clarity, endurance, and our capacity to remain
present.
The way we breathe directly affects the quality of our practice:
our focus, our emotional state, our endurance, and our capacity to remain present.
From dynamic Vinyasa practices to long-held Yin postures, breath becomes the thread that
connects movement, sensation, and consciousness.
Discover how Pranayama can deepen your practice, regulate the nervous system, and
transform the relationship between breath, movement, and awareness.
Read more in our latest blog post through the link in bio. ✨
Join us in our upcoming trainings to deepen your understanding of breathwork and the
transformative power of Prana.

There are places that feel untouched by the noise of the modern world.
Places that invite us back into rhythm, presence, ritual, and simplicity.

This November, our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training arrives in the extraordinary setting of a timeless Swahili island - Lamu, Kenya. Here life moves to the rhythm of the ocean. This cohort will be led by Tanya Savitri Popovich and Samanta Dougal, both teachers with over 20 years of international teaching experience.

Known as one of East Africa’s most enchanting coastal gems, Lamu carries a rare atmosphere: ancient, poetic, deeply cultural, and profoundly peaceful. Coral stone architecture, carved wooden doors, white sand beaches, salt air, palms, and centuries of Swahili heritage create a setting unlike anywhere else we have taught before.

Our home for this immersion will be Banana House, a tranquil retreat nestled in the heart of Shela Village, just moments from the sea.

Rooted in classical yoga tradition while informed by modern biomechanics, intelligent sequencing, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and esoteric yogic practices, this training is designed not only to certify teachers, but to transform practitioners.

This is more than a destination training.
It is a return to depth, ritual, community, and presence.

Advanced Yoga Teacher Training is a necessary step for any 200hr certified teacher ready to go further.
This is an immersion into esoteric yogic practices, advanced Hatha Vinyasa, and the subtle architecture of practice.
From pranayama, bandha, chakra sadhana and mantra,
to yoga psychology, sacred space, and the teacher–student dynamic, this training refines not only how you practice, but how you lead.
An integrated path that moves beyond the physical,
cultivating alignment, clarity, and power on and off the mat.

July 18 - August 12, Crete, Greece

Pranayama is a precise practice that directly affects the nervous system, energy levels, emotional state, and quality of mind.
In this training, you’ll learn the foundations most teachers were never taught:
• how to increase lung capacity safely
• importance of proper natural breathing
• foundational breathing techniques and their effects
• contraindications and safety principles
• how and when to progress into intermediate and advanced practices
• how to sequence Pranayama intentionally and intelligently
Because Pranayama Sequencing is just as important, if not more important, than Asana Sequencing.
This course is especially valuable for yoga teachers and breathwork enthusiasts who want to stop teaching breathwork randomly and start guiding students with clarity, confidence, and depth. When practiced correctly, Pranayama becomes not only transformative, but deeply blissful.
Upon completion, you will receive a Pranayama Teacher L1 Certification registered with Yoga Alliance Continuing Education.
