Guru Parampara is the culmination of the ParaYoga® Master Training Program. As the last of nine modules, its primary aim is to ensure that ParaYogis have a clear understanding and capacity to apply all ParaYoga® practices and techniques in both group and individual class settings.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible to attend this training, you must have completed 6 or more ParaYoga Master Trainings; of these 6, Vinyasa Krama and Kosha are required.

If you have not done so, please do so as soon as possible.
In addition to a series of wide-ranging lectures, this training will also include case studies, opportunities to review of participants’ teaching skills that include practice teaching as well as group and individual presentations.
Throughout the training our emphasis is on guiding teachers to refine their skill and capacity, both as teachers and advanced practitioners. Guru Parampara promises to be a dynamic, intensive and transformative training.
