In every yoga class we take, breath is a primary focus. It’s something we do every single day without thinking and yet, what is actually happening in the body? In this 25 hour module we will explore the anatomy of breath, how it affects the nervous system, and various styles of pranayama. Pranayama is the yogic practice of controlling the breath and is one of the eight limbs of yoga of Patanjali. This module will include:
- Anatomy of breathing
- Positional breathing
- Fascia
- Science of breath and the nervous system
- Functional breath vs pranayama techniques in the yoga tradition
- History of Pranayama in the yoga tradition
- Learn how to teach foundational yoga breathwork techniques
- Develop your own personal breath work practice
- Create safe and sustainable pranayama sequences to your students
Evolve and deepen your understanding of the teaching the science of yoga. This 25-hour yoga teacher training module has been carefully constructed to expand your knowledge, skill set and confidence as both a teacher and a student. The work that we do as yoga teachers is key in both the mental and physical wellness of our communities. Elevate your credentials to teach beyond the introductory information commonly delivered in a 200-hour teacher training.
This is one of many modules set up by Hot Asana Yoga University to stand alone as continuing education or to allow you to build your 300-hour certification at your own pace. You have up to five years to complete your 300-hour certification.

I began practicing yoga in 2012 and it wasn't long before I became hooked. I fell in love with the shared energy of practicing yoga in a hot room and it was then I knew I wanted to become a yoga teacher. I trained for my 200 hour certification under Virginia Gallagher and Angela Hsu in 2017. After my initial training, I quit my job and dedicated all my time and energy into being a career yoga teacher by teaching full time and managing various studios until purchasing Hot Asana Yoga of Colorado in 2022. It's a privilege to lead others through asana and I love what I do! It's my hope that through the practice of yoga, I can help others in the way that it helped me with my journey of freedom, healing, and self-discovery.
Other non-yoga passions of mine are jujitsu, reading, and dog training & nutrition. I am currently working on becoming a CPCN (Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist).
