SATYA is so very therapeutic. The non-weight bearing movements are a perfect complement to weight-bearing in asana.

SATYA 3 investigates the therapeutic benefits of SATYA on the nervous system, endocrine system, digestion, and circulation in order to heal the subtle body.We specifically review SATYA’s effects on the autonomic nervous system and how SATYA can heal trauma in the body.

“SATYA has been and continues to be a very valuable practice for me and for the students I am privileged to teach. The feedback from my students has been overwhelmingly positive.

Prajna Yoga: Tias & Surya Little


In Sanskrit, the word Prajna means insight, deep understanding, and mindfulness. It suggests a dynamic embodied wisdom that permeates every cell and every tissue in the body. We believe that yoga is a pathway that begins in the outer layers of the body and mind and navigates inward to the mystical, subtle, and rarely seen interior. We combine meditative practice with the power and grace of asana training. In a process that requires sensitivity and inner listening, we explore the sheaths of connective tissue, muscle, and bone in order to bring about greater wakefulness, luminosity, and space within. Prajna Yoga makes its home in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the founders’ home, Tias and Surya Little, where they have lived since 1997.
