Knowledge arrives from four directions at once.
From the teacher — the structure, the transmission, the lived experience they carry into the room.
From within — your own effort, your own inquiry, the questions only you can ask of yourself.
From your fellow students — the debates, the shared struggles, the mirror that only a peer can hold up.
And from time itself — the slow settling of everything you have learned into who you are becoming.
The gurukul understood this completely. Teacher and student shared a life. The teaching was woven into the daily rhythm of waking, eating, practising, questioning. There was no separation between the relationship and the education — they were the same thing.
Today, a 200-hour teacher training might unfold over a few weekends, or a month-long immersion, sometimes through a handful of Zoom sessions and a WhatsApp group. The lineage is still there. The teaching is still profound. But the teacher is also juggling spreadsheets, chasing payment reminders, and trying to remember who missed last Saturday's session.
Organising a YTT is harder than it looks — and teachers are burning out not from teaching, but from everything around it. PranaPath exists to change that.
Ask any yoga school owner and you'll hear the same thing:
"We use an online course platform for our curriculum but it treats our students like customers, not trainees. There's no concept of a cohort or a real teaching relationship and it costs a fortune."
"I track attendance in a spreadsheet. Homework assignments go through Google Classroom. Payments are in another spreadsheet."
"We tried studio management software but it's built for drop-in classes, not a 3-month cohort journey with the same 18 students."
"I want a student portal where trainees can see their schedule, curriculum, and progress — but all the platforms I found are built for universities or corporate training, not yoga schools."
Today, YTT schools stitch together 4–6 disconnected tools to run a single cohort. PranaPath replaces all of them.
Six modules. One platform. Built for the cohort–student–teacher relationship at the heart of every teacher training.
Create cohorts with session schedules, manage enrollment, and see every cohort at a glance. Everything scoped to the training — the way a YTT actually works.
Know every trainee as a person, not a record. Track their journey, add personal notes, see their reflections, and build the kind of teacher–student relationship that makes a training truly transformative.
Organise your modules — online and in-person — all in one place. Structure content as Units → Sessions → Lessons, and it unlocks for trainees at exactly the right moment.
Mark attendance per student per session on your phone. Running attendance percentages flag students at risk of not meeting Yoga Alliance minimums.
Track installment plans per student — amounts, due dates, paid or pending. See at a glance who is up to date and who needs a reminder.
Upload your training manual. Students ask questions in plain English and get answers drawn directly from your materials — not generic internet content.
The whole point
PranaPath handles the admin — attendance, payments, curriculum delivery, student records — so you can give your full attention to the people in the room.
The PranaPath student app isn't generic — it's powered by your school's own manuals and knowledge. Every answer, every piece of feedback comes from the tradition you teach.
Students record themselves cuing a pose or sequence and get instant, specific feedback — not generic tips, but feedback grounded in the language and standards of your school.
Build and refine teaching sequences, check pacing, contraindications, and flow — with an AI assistant that understands your curriculum.
Interactive study tools for terminology, chants, and philosophy — drawn from the texts and teachings you've uploaded to your knowledge base.
Pose-by-pose anatomy breakdowns aligned with how your school teaches the body — not a generic anatomy app.

PranaPath is the operational backbone for everything that happens in your program.
Create your school workspace, invite your teaching team, and define your cohort — dates, capacity, lead teachers.
Add students, set their payment plan, and they appear in your cohort ready for the journey.
Structure your content as sessions and lessons. Content unlocks automatically on each session date.
Mark attendance on your phone after each session. See payment status at a glance. Add notes on students as the training unfolds.
Every student's hours, attendance, and progress are documented. Certification is a formality, not a scramble.
Why we built this
I started building PranaPath during my own 200-hour YTT - as a student, sitting with the same questions every trainee has: how to make the most of my training? Am I ready to be a teacher? Will I even remember this all once my training is over?
We had amazing teachers who put enormous care into creating the manuals and their classes. But that access was brief. Once the training ended, students are on their own — with a manual, a WhatsApp group, and a notebook full of notes.
After my training, I started working closely with my teachers. I saw how much of their energy went into admin — scheduling, tracking attendance, chasing instalments, trying to keep everything organised across four different tools. Gifted, dedicated teachers, exhausted by things that have nothing to do with teaching.
PranaPath was born out of both sides of that experience: the student who wanted to stay close to the learnings, and the teachers who deserved tools that actually understand what a YTT is.
