Genuine sangha without gatekeeping
Name the insecurity that blocks transparency - and build referral habits that strengthen the whole community.
The Mysore Therapeutic Teaching Method
Stop performing yoga. Start teaching therapy, sangha, and lived experience.
R Chandraprakash distills more than a decade of Mysore teaching - hatha, movement science, Nuad Thai bodywork, and somatic inquiry - into one structured course. In ~50 minutes across 3 modules and 18 chapters, you will move from gatekeeping and shape-chasing toward therapeutic sequencing, genuine community, and classrooms built on observation and safety.

Outcomes
What you will learn
Six shifts for yoga teachers who want therapeutic depth, honest community, and classrooms that hold real humans - not Instagram shapes.
Multiple support networks
Stop expecting one shala to be everything. Diversify where you belong - professionally and personally.
Performance to therapeutic sequencing
Unlearn the aesthetic high. Prioritize safety, inquiry, and sequencing that reduces harm.
Enter class with a question
Replace fixed choreography with observation, breath vectors, and presence - even when you feel excited to perform.
Somatic intelligence over theory
Honor lived experience. Teach students to dialogue with sensation instead of quoting scripts.
Larger purpose in every room
Anchor daily teaching struggles to the real goal: safe spaces, less suffering, and students who leave steadier than they arrived.
Transformation
From shape-chasing to therapeutic presence
This course is for teachers who already have skill on the mat but feel the gap between what yoga promises and how studios often compete for students.
Before
Gatekeeping, hoarding students, and teaching from insecurity dressed up as tradition.
After
Referral-first sangha: pass prenatal, therapy, or advanced work to the teacher who serves it best.
Before
Walking in with a fixed sequence because arm balances feel exciting today.
After
Opening with How can I help the people in front of me? - then watching breath and vectors.
Before
Injuries that force humility only after the body breaks.
After
Bio-intelligence early: fewer advanced shapes, more sustainable practice design for students.
Before
One long talk-track video with no path back to the idea you needed.
After
18 micro-chapters, study notes, quizzes, and an AI tutor grounded in Chandraprakash's teaching.
Built for you if
- You are a yoga teacher, studio owner, or senior student moving into teaching who cares about ethics and safety.
- You feel the tension between Mysore tradition and modern therapeutic modalities - and want language for both.
- You want somatic, community, and business clarity without another performative teacher-training brochure.
- You teach or aspire to teach therapeutic hatha, restorative work, or inquiry-based classes - not just led flows.
Not the right fit if
- —You want only asana drills with no philosophy, community, or teaching ethics.
- —You expect a live Mysore shala immersion - this is async, chapterized video on Spark.
- —You are looking for a quick certification badge rather than an honest unlearning journey.
Inside the course
What therapeutic teaching looks and feels like
This recording has no slide deck - so we built visual themes that mirror the material: sangha, inquiry, somatic rest, and teacher-to-teacher trust.
Genuine sangha
Community that shares students instead of hoarding them.
Therapeutic inquiry
Presence and observation before choreography.
Somatic rest
Intelligence through sensation, not theory alone.
Referral trust
Networks that survive beyond one studio brand.

Your instructor
R Chandraprakash
Help students design a practice that is sustainable for the long term.
R Chandraprakash (Chandraprakash R Naidu) is a senior yoga educator based in Mysore, India - the city where modern ashtanga grew up and where therapeutic hatha still has to earn its place beside performance culture. He is RYT-200 certified with more than a decade of teaching experience.
His work weaves daily asana, movement science, flow arts, and Nuad Thai / deep-tissue bodywork into classes that prioritize recovery, observation, and student agency. He has taught from Kurma Shala in Gokulam (across from the KPJAYI shala) and trains teachers who want therapeutic depth without losing the fire of Mysore practice.
Chandraprakash also leads somatic and expressive-arts retreat work (including Ladakh immersions) and teaches online via platforms such as Omstars. Students know him as Chandru - the teacher who will pass you to someone else when that is the honest answer.
