In 2018 Krissy was asked by the Pranakriya Board of Directors to create a program for the school's 300 hour program.  She has passionately created Pranakriya Vinyasa - Safe Sequencing:  

As teachers we strive to meet our students where they are, yet taking them back to where they crave to be – the inner peace that unites each one of us.  Vinyasa, done safely, can be that, and serves as a metaphor for our own life as we move from one experience to another. Just as life is in constant flux, as is the art of vinyasa, forever changing and never the same.  You will learn to: (1) Understand the sacred steps of Vinyasa by skillfully navigating a posture led by breath through space and time; (2) Develop the intuition to safely craft the in-between places of vinyasa, known as the transitions; (3) Sequence a flow that meets the needs and intentions of your students by understanding the biomechanics and energetic requirements of the asana ‘families’ and best placement for each asana; (4) Find language that creates and stimulates awareness on the mat to help in tangle ways off the mat; and (5) Plan a class that allows students to progress steadily and simply from one place to another.  

Swami Kripalu says “It is worth remembering that there is one yoga and can only be one yoga.  True, aspirants are of different natures and resort to various doctrines and practices to progress along the path.  But one who completes the process of yoga understands its different paths and sees that the systematic practice of various disciplines leads to the same place.  In the end, all yogas lead to one great Yoga.” So why not have fun playing and crafting a sequence from your heart, delivered to your students confidently from your experience with love – ultimately taking them back to where they crave to be?  Pranakriya Vinyasa – Learn to Safely Craft a Sequence.
