This program stands out as one of the very best, not just for its comprehensive curriculum, but for the extraordinary wisdom and heart of its lead teachers.
At the helm of this transformative training is Pachi Shanaberger, a true luminary in the world of hot yoga. With an incredible twenty-five years of full-time yoga practice and teaching experience, Pachi embodies a deep, intuitive understanding of the practice that few possess. Her teaching isn’t merely theoretical; it’s rooted in decades of personal dedication and a profound connection to the lineage. She has meticulously honed her craft, refining her insights into the precise mechanics of each posture, the subtle flow of energy, and the profound therapeutic benefits of the 26+2 sequence.

Isabela’s personal journey, profoundly impacted by Pachi’s guidance, speaks volumes about the depth and power of this lineage. The synergy between these two sisters is palpable; their sweet hearts resonate with a shared passion for the yoga practice that shines through in every lesson.

The Prana Hot Yoga + Bodyworks 26+2 Teacher Training goes far beyond physical alignment. For the crucial foundation in yoga philosophy, you will learn from none other than Bikram’s Senior Teacher, Jimmy Barkan. Jimmy Barkan is a renowned yoga instructor and a true pioneer of Hot Yoga in the United States. Certified by Ghosh’s College of India in 1981, his knowledge is directly from the source. He is celebrated for his influential Barkan Method of Hot Yoga, which he developed after extensive training under Bikram Choudhury. Since 1986, Jimmy Barkan has certified thousands of yoga teachers worldwide, making him one of the most experienced and respected voices in the hot yoga community. Learning from Jimmy provides an unparalleled depth of philosophical insight and historical context, connecting you directly to the roots of the practice.
This training offers an unparalleled opportunity to truly understand the mechanics of the 26+2 postures – how they work with your body, how they build strength and flexibility, and how they contribute to overall well-being. But it’s also a journey into self-discovery.
