OUR PHILOSOPHY

​

For Virtual Prana's Founder, Hali Love, Yoga is a lifestyle.  Her purpose is to generously share the tools that she has learned throughout her own journey, life experiences, education and practice of both yoga and personal development. She has been a student of yoga since 1995, and has over 40,000 hours of logged facilitation and 20,000 hours of training with The International Yoga Alliance.  Hali begin to study Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2007, and is a continuing student of both modalities, as well is a continuing student of yoga.  As a Yoga Instructor, Subconscious Restructuring Counsellor, Yoga Therapist, and Ayurveda Consultant  she combines her love for both yoga, eastern medicine modalities and personal development in all of her trainings.   

​

The first foundational tool you will be introduced to is Hali's curated personal development tool called "The 7 Bodies Method" which was created to enhance the understanding and practices of the"mind, body spirit"connection.

 

The styles of yoga included in Wellness Based Yoga are: gentle yoga, hatha, restorative and vinyasa yoga.  You will also learn many styles of breath work (pranayama) and a variety of meditations.  Wellness Based Yoga is Love's signature blend of Yoga Philosophy, combined with Ayurveda and The 5 Element Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine.  During your training you will also learn how to provide your clients with yoga based Ayurvedic and 5 Element Balancing Consultations.

 

 

The 7 Bodies Are:

 

1) Physical - our physical body, 

2) Mental - our thinking mind, 

3) Emotional - all of the 6 human emotions,

4) Energetic - our vibe,

5) Intellectual - our new knowledge, learning's and insights; and

6) Spiritual - this is self defined.

7) Soul - our dharma

 

All trainings combine the physical asana practice, yoga philosophy and mythology, western psychology and eastern healing modalities: Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda .   All Yoga Education programs are anchored in philosophies from the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and the teachings of Krishnamacharya: The teacher of the well-known teachers B.K.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois.  Hali has consistently been studying Yoga Philosophy with her teachers from India and Tibet since she was 17 years old, and is currently studying with Dr. Arjun, a doctor of Sanskrit Science from India. 

 

Your 200 and 500 hour trainings begin with Personal Development because we believe it is important to continue to do the work.  The work starts with you.  The teaching are understood through our own work and experiences.   We begin with a process of "unbecoming" where we learn about our limiting patterns and core values, which creates a powerful foundation for lasting healing, continued growth and ultimately shining your light into the world as not only a successful yoga teacher, but also as an inspirational human being.  You will feel empowered and supported as you are guided through this journey together.
