Prajna Yoga

What Prajna Yoga does

Prajna Yoga Inc is a privately held, founder-owned yoga education company established in 2000 by Tias and Surya Little and headquartered at 11 Toltec Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It operates the "Prajna Temple" studio and delivers instruction primarily to individual yoga practitioners globally through a hybrid model combining in-person intensives with livestream/Zoom and on-demand Teachable-based online learning. The company's core product portfolio centers on Yoga Alliance–accredited teacher training (200-, 300-, and 500-hour certifications), the proprietary 3-part, 150-hour SATYA (Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) somatic certification developed by Tias Little, a yoga therapy program, and a recurring calendar of workshops, weekend immersions, multi-day retreats, and topical courses covering chakras, bandhas, vayus, internal organs, myofascial release, and cranial-sacral work. Additional revenue and engagement come from books (notably Tias Little's "In the Space Between: The Poetry of Embodiment"), guided meditations, dharma talks, and a blog (Inspirations).

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and event-driven: students apply and register through the company website, with in-person events managed on Momence and online courses on Teachable. Geographic reach is extended without capital-intensive expansion via channel partnerships — notably Orleans Yoga in Massachusetts for US East Coast SATYA immersions and Yogacampus in the UK for international SATYA certification access — alongside observed student pull from the Midwest, West Coast, and Denmark. Pricing is tiered from roughly $120 single-day drop-ins to $1,398 in-person flagship immersions, with livestream equivalents typically priced 25-30% lower and lower-priced online modules ($135 Bandhas course) broadening the entry funnel. The company is bootstrapped, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; the brand and pedagogy are tightly coupled to the founders, who personally lead most flagship programming.

Direct peers

• Alo Moves: Subscription streaming platform from Alo Yoga offering on-demand yoga, meditation, and fitness classes with celebrity-instructor content — competes for the same digitally-engaged yoga practitioner segment Prajna serves online.
• Spirit Rock Meditation Center: California-based retreat and teaching center focused on mindfulness, Insight Meditation, and dharma study — comparable to Prajna's Zen Buddhist meditation and dharma talk components, though more meditation- than yoga-focused.
• Nosara Yoga Institute: Specialist yoga teacher training provider offering 200/300/500-hour YTT certifications and continuing education with in-person and livestream delivery — closely aligned with Prajna's core certification-led business model.
• Yoga International: Online yoga education platform combining video classes, articles, and structured courses including teacher training content — directly comparable online-only competing model to Prajna's Learn Online and SATYA offerings.
• Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health: Wellness and yoga education center in Stockbridge, MA offering 200/300-hour Yoga Alliance teacher trainings, somatic programming, retreats, and therapeutic yoga — directly comparable to Prajna's Santa Fe-based training-plus-retreat model.
• Yandara Yoga Institute: Bali-based yoga teacher training school offering 200/500-hour YTT certifications and continuing education with an in-person intensive + online hybrid model — directly comparable in product offering and target student to Prajna's YTT and SATYA programs.
• Glo (formerly YogaGlo): Subscription-based online yoga and meditation platform offering livestream and on-demand classes from renowned teachers — competes with Prajna's Learn Online and livestream delivery but lacks the certification structure.

Broad incumbents

• Omega Institute for Holistic Studies: Large Rhinebeck, NY-based holistic education and retreat center offering yoga, meditation, and somatic workshops and teacher trainings across many traditions — broader portfolio than Prajna but overlapping in retreat-style wellness education.
• Esalen Institute: Long-established Big Sur, CA-based retreat and education center offering somatic, body-mind, and yoga programming with workshops and intensives — overlapping with Prajna's workshops/immersions and therapeutic orientation.
• YogaFit: Large-scale yoga training provider offering multi-level teacher certifications, corporate wellness programs, and continuing education — overlapping with Prajna on YTT/CE-credit offerings but at broader institutional scale.
