Pranaa Yoga® - yoga alchemy

The Essence of Pranaa Yoga® with creator, Julie Gargano

The fruit of three decades of practice, devotion and teaching, has become a living methodology that honours both ancient wisdom and the needs of the modern seeker.

Pranaa Yoga® is a unique, powerful, and deeply transformative approach to yoga that seamlessly integrates the inner dimensions of the practice—energy, meditation, and spirit—with the outer dimensions of movement, alignment, and asana.

Bridging form and formlessness, body and consciousness, the physical and the spiritual, Pranaa Yoga® offers a deeply embodied experience that is both grounding and expansive. Rooted in intelligent movement and refined energetic awareness, each practice becomes a soulful meditation that awakens presence, vitality, and an intimate connection with your true nature.

At the heart of Pranaa Yoga® is the cultivation of the Prana Body—the subtle energy field through which greater awareness, healing, and transformation naturally unfold. Guided by founder Julie Gargano, whose work reflects three decades of dedicated practice, study, and devotion to yoga and the esoteric traditions, students are gently invited beyond the habitual patterns of the thinking mind and into the direct experience of stillness, presence, and higher consciousness.

Julie is known for creating a deeply held and sacred space in which profound inner transformation can occur. As the mind softens and habitual limitations begin to dissolve, students are invited into a living experience of spacious awareness, where the innate intelligence of the soul is revealed and pure consciousness becomes not merely a concept, but a direct and embodied experienced.

“From practice, to Presence.
Yoga is not something we do—it is a state of consciousness to be remembered, known & embodied”

-Julie Gargano 

Yoga experienced as ‘meditation in motion’

There is something noticeable and unique about Pranaa Yoga® where the physical postures (asana) become an entry point to take you into deeper meditative states. Here is where the mind becomes sweetly silenced, and you begin to notice the magical present moment.

Experienced as ‘meditation in motion’, you will be guided into your subtle energy field, where the regenerative healing powers lie, and where you can experience both the wonder and mystery of Spirit Prana; effortlessly making her way back home to the Source.

The physical practice being both intelligent and intuitive, weaves together precise alignment, long supported holds, fluid dance-like sequences, conscious breath, and energetic awareness. While great care is given to the integrity of movement, it is the awakening of consciousness that remains the heart of every practice.

Pranaa Yoga® is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to the exploration of movement, consciousness, and spiritual awakening. Inspired by the grace of classical ballet, the precision of Iyengar Yoga, the meditative flow of Amrit Yoga, the energy cultivation of Pranic Healing, the profound stillness of Yoga Nidra, and the sacred wisdom of esoteric yoga, Julie Gargano has carefully distilled the finest qualities of each tradition into a beautifully woven tapestry of practice. The result is a deeply integrative and transformative approach that harmonises body, mind, energy, and soul, supporting the natural evolution of consciousness and the awakening of one's highest potential.

Pranaa Yoga

Pranaa Yoga is a unique style of yoga that has a beautiful blend of multi levels of physical & spiritual layers that merge into a seamless meditative yoga practice. With Julie Gargano’s rich and diverse background in yoga, meditation, esoteric, & energy modalities and dance, it is obvious the practice has emerged from many years of depth and dedication to the healing arts. Pranaa Yoga is versatile, adaptable and an integrated. The basis of the practice is to seamlessly balance the physical practice with a more subtle internal practice where consciousness, meditation, energy awareness and connection are experienced simultaneously. This is where the true magic of yoga happens and where one experiences both the form and the formless. The approach to the physical practice is unique and varied and can be modified according to the intention of the practice. For example it can be held and supported with yoga props for a more technical, deeper or restorative exploration of yoga, or it can flow like a graceful dance synchronising breath, prana and movement. You are left floating!

Advanced Yogi -Amrit Yoga

Advanced Yogi Practice - 10 week course ‘tapping into divine potential’

Advanced Yogi -Amrit Yoga Practice allows students to deepen their practice through a more refined and subtler exploration of yoga. We explore the power of the subtle energy bodies (prana), chakras, meditation, intention, chanting, invocation and raising personal frequency to align with higher vibrational frequency where we merge into the Unified unmodified field of consciousness. We use the platform of meditation in motion through the powerful and transformational practice of Amrit Yoga, which was developed by world renowned Yogi Amrit Desai. Amrit Yoga is a combination of Hatha Yoga  & Raja Yoga as a means to integrate action and non-action. Through deliberate action in time and space one moves into a Presence where all doing disappears; where the doer and the action become one. From this state of unity – this state of authentic yoga – life becomes an effortless flow. Amrit Yoga connects you with the ancient roots and fundamental principles that are at the core of all branches of yoga. It is a non-aggressive, non-competitive and non-mental response to the wisdom of our vital life force, Prana.
