About Prana Vinyasa

prana – life-force, breath, movements of life
vinyasa – evolution, wave, cycle, lineage teachings of flowing yoga
yoga – to unify, the state of unified consciousness

Prana vinyasa is a life-realization, embodiment practice & global collective based on the roots of yoga, evolutionary pathways, the art and science of flow, and tools for wellness for our vitality and sacred earth.

Prana vinyasa is a journey to greater embodiment, vitality, enjoyment of life, living flow, creative fulfillment, natural happiness, and a connection to one’s sva dharma: inherent purpose in life.

Our evolutionary practice and teacher training empowers people around the globe to cultivate your life as your art, passion, and path of fulfillment.

For 25 years, I have served the roots of yoga, the emergence of vinyasa flow and the evolution of prana vinyasa along with sacred activism projects.

As a global teaching collective, we serve the life-force and empower people to connect with the vinyasa of their lives to bring greater life-presence, vitality, and joy.

Our full-spectrum practice is an effective, creative system of progressing on the path, bringing greater vitality, fluidity, longevity, satisfaction in the soul, passion and compassion in the heart.

We inspire tools for bringing the power of yoga into the flow of life, whether a simple meditation or an in-depth program, we provide tools for living in balance.

We inspire people to tend the fire of their life and find their sva-dharma: inherent life-purpose within the unique season of their life, single or family, professional or exploring, recovering from a life-change or rising up to explore one’s potential.

We are positive change-agents to bring greater wholeness, diversity, male-female balance and natural vitality and humility to individuals and cultures at large through the universal paths of yoga.

A letter from Shiva

Dear friends.

We are thrilled to bring this portal for living yoga into manifestation. I have been offering yoga for over thirty years, and this space is dedicated to the power of practice in personal healing, collective consciousness and the renewal of nature.

Our program was born on the Winter Solstice of 2010 as a simple commitment to consciously live in synch with the solar–lunar cycles of the year. This is still the heart of our “Living in Rhythm.”

Rather than an archive of videos, we want to offer courses with living personal connection, access to teachers during sessions, and the power of community interaction. I feel blessed to have filmed in some amazing locations in the world — but the feedback from the community is that you are enjoying the intimacy of my home practice studio and personal guidance.

One breath breathing us all.

Embrace the flow and allow the prana to guide you.

  • Pranalife-force of creation
  • Vinyasathe sequence of consciousness, an evolutionary form of yoga
  • Flowthe state of unified consciousness

Prana Vinyasa Flow Yoga is an energetic, creative, full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga cultivated by Shiva Rea and the Global Vinyasa Collective of Teachers. Students of all levels are empowered to experience prana — the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence — as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living, drawn from Krishnamacharya’s teachings, Tantra, Ayurveda, Bhakti and Somatics.

Prana Vinyasa Yoga is also…

  • an evolutionary method of embodied transformation and radiant health
  • cultivating inner and outer, strength and fluidity, skill and intuition
  • vital energy and relaxed being, activation and receptivity
  • a catalyst for transforming old patterns and paradigms of the body, self and world
  • a way of liberating the natural flow of the spontaneous intelligence
  • a cultivation of the art of yoga — movement, music, sound, visual arts and poetry
  • a way to ride the waves of breath, change and life rhythms
  • living, loving, serving life in all forms

In good company

A synthesizer of worlds.

“Heart coherence is Shiva’s way — inspiring, weaving everyone’s unique energies so that each person shines and is respected in the circle. She is an integrator, a synthesizer of worlds. Since her teens, she has moved at the cutting edge of yoga.

An intuitive with a deep bent for scholarship, a lover of science and a master of flow, profoundly respectful of tradition. Many people talk about integrating ancient wisdom and modern science. Shiva lives it. She has practiced asana and devotion in deserts and remote forests. She climbs mountains and meditates in caves. She surfs, practices Indian martial arts, and has introduced a generation of yogis to prana vinyasa and ecstatic dance.

More than that, Shiva is a natural alchemist of the heart. She has taught thousands of people around the world to embody their life-force, to love fully, and to live creatively — tending the heart fire.”
