The word Prajna is composed of two Sanskrit words: "Pra" which refers to that which is before, and "jna" which refers to knowledge. Together they mean before knowledge, profound knowledge. It can also be translated as intuitive wisdom, understanding, intelligence or discrimination.    It is the wish of Prajna Yogi to assimilate this meaning into each yogi’s experience.    

This beautiful insect represents change and transformation.  The spirit of the dragonfly reminds us of our intuitive wisdom that is always present.  The dragonfly starts out under the water, then departs into the air. The yogi as the dragonfly has the wisdom and freedom to propel themselves into the bright new world.  

Elizabeth is a calm, patient teacher who helps everyone; beginner to expert.  Thank you!  V.C.

You are brilliant:  your ease with Ayurvedic practice makes these sessions accessible and rewarding.  The combinations of postures, breath, mudras and oral teaching bring effectiveness not only to the novice, but also to the experienced practitioner.  Thank you!    R.M.M.   

Love the class!  Appreciate you accommodating my special needs!  You are the best!  P.S.

The five sessions explored the five elements – each session was designed around these.  I particularly loved the meditation part – which helped me quiet my mind.  Elizabeth also helped us understand some of the basics of Ayurveda and the right drinks and foods to eat depending on our doshas.  I also loved the scents and space in which we practiced.  Namaste! – P.M.  

Wonderful class; deep but easy to follow.  J. M.
