Pure Yoga with Pragyadhara

Pure Yoga with Pragyadhara Health, Happiness & Harmony to thrive in life Yoga Educator, mentor, retreat facilitator and humble student. Yoga is a journey to inspire, uplift and connect.
(1)

My vision is to establish a clear presence of authentic traditional yoga alongside more modern evolutionary forms, both nationally and internationally. Sharing my love of yoga through stimulating inquiry, passing on knowledge and wisdom related to the breadth and depth of Yoga and encouraging others to find the practices and philosophical elements that they can embody to improve the quality of their life, and of those around them. Sannyasi Pragyadhara is an initiated spiritual seeker who has embodied yogic wisdom through traditional yogic training under the ancient Gurukul system. Application and expression of this embodied wisdom includes both academic, teachers training and community settings. Its a privilege and joy to share this journey with others weather they are looking for stress relief, to relax and unwind, to transform in a natural way or to deepen into a spiritual path. As a transformational technology yoga has served humanity well and will continue to do so as the culture of tomorrow.

Some glimpses from our Bali mantra & bhakti immersion… more to come 🌿

It’s hard to fully put into words what was felt here.
A deep reverence for the Balinese way of life, their quiet devotion, their intimacy with nature, their effortless honouring of the divine woven into each day.

In their presence, we softened.
We slowed down.
We tuned into a different frequency.

Each day unfolded as its own journey, sunrise Hatha Yoga infused with mantra, gradually expanding into a fuller spectrum of practices,
Moments shaped not just by what we did, but by what we allowed ourselves to feel.

The stillness.
The sound of water flowing.
The quiet pauses where something deeper begins to reveal itself.

Nature gently drew us inward…
Softening our sense of time, widening our awareness, and holding us in the essence of the practice.

This is something we will carry for a long time.

Deep gratitude to this beautiful group for your openness, your presence, and the way you so naturally anchored into the heart of this immersion.

There are layers to Yoga Nidra…
and what most people experience is only the beginning.

In this short video, I share a glimpse into how this practice can move you beyond simple relaxation, into deep restoration, expanded Self awareness, and transformation.

For those wanting to deepen experience & learn to guide others intelligently I have a few final spaces open in the upcoming Yoga Nidra Immersion & Teacher Training.

✨ I’m happy to share a complimentary Yoga Nidra recording + the full info booklet so you can explore what’s possible.

✨ Historical Roots & Evolution of the practice
✨ Neuro Science & links with brain states
✨ Neuro-typography of the practice
✨ Applications in stress management, management of anxiety & depression & scope for further research 🧐
✨Each stage & the development of pratyahara
✨Instructing the practice, language & student support skills

Navaratri arrives…
not by chance, but in perfect alignment.

A turning inward.
A quiet recalibration.

This year it meets us at a potent intersection,
the New Moon in Pisces
and here in Bali, the sacred stillness of Nyepi.

Less doing.
More listening.
A pause to honour what supports the fabric of life 🌱

Navaratri is traditionally a time to honour Shakti —
the intelligent force of transformation.
Not something outside of us…
but something we begin to feel when we practice sadhana.

And what better conditions than this?

A new moon — inviting reset.
A day of silence — inviting stillness.
Nine nights — inviting sadhana and devotion.

This is how practice becomes powerful.
Not forced… but aligned.

From tomorrow, I’ll be moving into a simple mantra chanting sadhana to honour this alignment in Bali.

A simple sadhana is to chant the 32 Names of Durga as your time & capacity allows.

Let me know if you would the resources for this 🎶

Aum shanti Pragyadhara

Ulluwatu has that classic beach vibes charm. Throwing caution to the wind & exploring hidden gems & alleyways. Days start with Yoga & the best coffee ☕️.

Unleashing a sense of adventure with unstructured days. Chatting with locals who are preparing for their day of silence - Neypi.

Our tastebuds are on their own adventure & the days end with Balinese bodywork sessions.

Checking out some stunning venues for future Yoga immersions & retreats.

What’s not to love.

Navaratri Sadhana is coming!
A powerful time for inner transformation.

A special Navaratri Sadhana begins in 5 days, starting 19 March at 7pm (AEDT).

For centuries this sacred period has been used by yogis as a powerful time for dedicated sadhana, inner transformation and spiritual awakening.

During these nine days we will come together online as a global yogic sangha for:

• Mantra chanting
• Meditation & Kirtan
• Shared spiritual energy and inspiration focusing on the Yama-Happiness.

Join a sangha online mantra chanting event hosted by Swami Prembhava (Australia).
