YogaRenew figures from yogarenewteachertraining.com, checked October 25, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on their site.
The course is organized well and priced low. It covers the history and science of pranayama, breath ratios, bandhas and the classic techniques, then how to adapt them for different people.
What to weigh: their page lists no live calls and no observed practice, so nobody watches you lead a session before you're certified. The techniques it lists are mostly calming. Guiding deeper, emotional sessions is what our Breathwork certification is built for.
These lessons cover what a self-paced pranayama course leaves out.
What we don't teach: pranayama for a yoga class, with seated postures, props and sequencing around asana, and we don't certify anyone in YogaRenew's course. If you need those, train with them.
Three days in person or twelve weeks online. The same surrender-based method and mentorship from Ryan and Shelby either way.
