About This Training

B. K. S. Iyengar once said that it is as difficult to understand prāna as it is to understand god.

What is this mysterious life force? What is prāna and how might we touch it? How might we develop a union with it—and with ourselves?

In this training with master yoga teacher Tias Little, we’ll move into the interior of the body—what Tias calls the "inner asana" or the "inner posture." While many of us train in the outer forms of triangle pose and half-moon and backbends, there is a powerful way in which we can connect to the interior posture. Through work with the subtle pulsatory rhythms of blood, breath, nerve, craniosacral, and other fluctuating movements, this subtle body yoga training will help you investigate the interior of your own being.





What if our greatest fear is leaving our loved ones behind?

What if we fear the unknown or no longer existing?

What if we fear having not fulfilled our purpose in this life?

What if we’re scared of pain or isolation while dying?

About Your Teacher

TIAS LITTLE is one of the foremost yoga instructors in North America, and he also teaches worldwide. He is the founder of Prajna Yoga in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he hosts retreats, workshops, and teacher-training programs year-round.


“Pema Chödrön delivers the material in an extremely warm, understandable, and accessible way for westerners. I also appreciate her gentle humor and find myself smiling and laughing at many points during her talks. I [feel I am] in a more prepared and eager state to continue my study/practice and to take the next step of attending a meditation retreat in order to go further. To all responsible for putting this together, thank you so very much.”



“Even though I am an online participant I feel as though I am there. Pema and the participants are very ‘real’ and I can relate to the responses of those present. We all struggle with similar experiences.”



“I truly appreciate [Pema’s] manner of kindness and humor. She presents the material in a way that I can integrate into my daily life. I am a novice to many of the teachings but never feel overwhelmed or confused after a lesson. Thank you.”



“The quality of the videos was fantastic. I felt like I was attending the Yarne at the Abbey. The talks by Pema were absolutely wonderful and I'll watch them many times.”



“Pema is a relatable, delightful, and excellent communicator. The video is high quality and the support materials (e.g., talk transcript, notes, reading list, etc.) are helpful resources. I also appreciate that this course is available to those unable to take time away from work or family (at least at this particular time in life), as well as its self-paced nature.”

As she entered the ninth decade of her life, Pema Chödrön spent a year in solitary retreat working deeply with traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachings on death, including teachings on the bardos from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. This interactive online retreat, recorded at her home monastery, Gampo Abbey, in front of a small audience of her close students and friends, brings the fruits of Pema’s study and practice to you.

Whether you’re a longtime practitioner, an enthusiastic beginner, or somewhere in between, this retreat will offer you teachings and tools for embracing the entirety of your human experience—including your death—as a sacred journey. These are teachings that you can listen to again and again over the coming years, returning to them for guidance and grounding as you navigate the ongoing journey of your life.

Praise for Tias


“Tias Little delights in keeping the subtlety and mystery of the mind and the body. This keeps our minds open, so we continue to look, explore, and enjoy the fresh and always new face of reality. How exciting to explore with Little the detailed nature of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience in relation to the ancient wisdom of yoga, the chakras, and nādīs. This grounding of the esoteric and the profound in the nitty-gritty of the body serves to sharpen the cutting edge of any yoga practice.” —Richard Freeman, author of The Mirror of Yoga



“Tias Little is a necessary bridge between East and West. By being steeped in yoga practice, meditation, and western anatomy, he digs deep into the mystery of being and unearths the wisdom he shares in this [training]. [These teachings are] immediately accessible to the beginner and yet will keep on delivering provocative inspiration throughout your lifetime. I am so happy and honored to be on the path with Tias.” —Rodney Yee, author of Moving toward Balance



“The body and spirit are exact mirrors of each other—a fact much more apparent to the ancients than to those of us distracted by our modern materialism. Tias even-handedly blends the anatomy we know today with the anatomy of the energetic body. His many years of experience imbue this [training] with an easy authority.” —Thomas Myers, author of Anatomy Trains

B. K. S. Iyengar once said that it is as difficult to understand prāna as it is to understand god.

What is this mysterious life force? What is prāna and how might we touch it? How might we develop a union with it—and with ourselves?

In this training with master yoga teacher Tias Little, we’ll move into the interior of the body—what Tias calls the "inner asana" or the "inner posture." While many of us train in the outer forms of triangle pose and half-moon and backbends, there is a powerful way in which we can connect to the interior posture.

Days 1–4: Preparation

Before we begin our exploration of subtle body practices, we must orient ourselves and prepare the body for sitting meditation. This first section of the training provides an introduction and instructions for sitting as well as several long practice sequences designed to open the shoulders, core, and hips.

Days 5–7: The Foundation

As we begin the subtle body practices, we start by taking time to build our root and the foundation for the practice. We will start our work with the spine and prepare it for the meditations that 
follow in this training.

Days 8–9: The Spine

Our spine is so much more than a simple backbone—it holds the spinal river, a river of tremendous strength and potential that flows through the spinal shaft. Its flow is harnessed by movements within the pelvic floor and subtle articulations of the coccyx. In this next section of the training, you will work with the subtle energies in this central channel.

Days 10–13: The Belly

In this section, we will explore the manipūra or “palace of jewels”—the abdominal location of the third chakra. This power center of our body is also, paradoxically, where we are physically most vulnerable. We can benefit greatly from focusing on subtle energies here, bringing ease and a chance to lower our guard.

Days 14–15: The Breath

The diaphragm is the regulator of respiration and prāna and is its prime mover. Due to postural and emotional tension, however, the motion of the diaphragm can become restricted, which affects the flow of prāna. In this section, we will focus on breath and releasing the diaphragm to enable the smooth flow of prāna.

Days 16–19: The Heart

The heart is the source of the pulsatory rhythms in our bodies, and in this section we will tune into those rhythms and move more deeply into the sanctuary of the heart to the secret heart, a place beyond comprehension that transcends linguistic reference.

Days 20–25: The Skull

Releasing tension within the skull is a critical part of yoga training, for only by unlocking the structures in and around the brain, packed with billions of neurons, can a sense of ease pervade the entire nervous system. In this section we will focus on the exquisite sensitivity and subtle energies available in this crown jewel.

Days 26–28: The End 
and the Beginning

The end of this training is really the beginning of the practice. This final section of the training contains several practices, including śavāsana and yoga nidrā, which you can use in daily practice. May the garden of your subtle body continue to bloom as you experience deeper and more nuanced explorations of 
your innermost being.
