Hañsa is an integrated therapeutic system that is based on the human development process with philosophy derived from integration of eastern and western thought methodologies.

The applications of Hañsa principles and methodologies are done through Hañsa Therapy and Hañsa Flow.

Hañsa Therapy is a therapy system that combines functional touch, rehabilitative work, and movement to support and return optimal functioning of the body.

Hañsa Flow is a creative movement practice that embodies the Hañsa therapeutic principles, and created to enhance stability, ease, and grace in one’s movement.

The word “Hañsa” itself means Swan in sanskrit, and it alludes to the inner guru within us and the ability discern information through awareness and observation, which is one of the values of Hañsa

The practice of Hañsa Flow is a circular, multi-directional movement practice with creative sequences that focus on transitions rather than poses.

The movements in Hañsa Flow are created with the human developmental patterns in mind and aligns with the biomechanics of the human body to provide better support and stability to the body.

The Hañsa Flow sequences are also created to illustrate and embody inner form and rhythm in graceful, functional movement patterns.

Through this rhythm, Hañsa Flow brings calmness and stability to the mind, making the practice a mindful meditative movement practice.

Find where you can practice Hañsa Flow.

Yes, Hañsa Flow can be practiced by all level practitioners. Many of the movements are based on Yoga movements, but you don’t have to know yoga before you start practicing Hañsa Flow.

We have some online practices that are suitable for beginners and can be a great entry point for everyone who wants to try Hañsa Flow.

Generally, the Hañsa Flow practice does not include positions that are too difficult, nor it demands a high fitness ability.

The Hañsa Flow practice might challenge your coordination and spatial awareness. These are important practices that will train us to improve our movement awareness and ability.

However, you can take your time in learning the practices. They are created to be repeated. So take your time to familiarise yourself with the movement and always practice within the comfort of your abilities.

At the moment, we have regular offline classes by some of our Hañsa Flow Teachers in several cities in New Zealand including Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin. We also have online classes for practitioners in Indonesia. Find a class near you.

Most of the practices in the memberships are Hañsa Flow practices. Some of them are single sequences. Some are part of a series to give you a continuity of practice, and can be used as daily practices as well.

In addition to the flow practices, there are a few practices that are more therapeutic based.

At the moment, we’re working on expanding our offerings to include fitness practices as well. So we hope to have more of those in the future.

We have a few resources for you to begin understanding some of the Hañsa principles. You can begin by listening to the Hañsa Bites we have in the membership which we also post in our YouTube channel.

For more in depth discussions on different aspects of Hañsa, you can check our Hañsa Conversations podcast.

We have a 200-hour Hañsa Fundamental Yoga Training that teaches foundational yoga for people who are interested to learn yoga through a functional and bio-mechanical perspective.

This program is suitable for you if you’re looking for a training similar to the standard 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

However, we normally do this training by request in collaboration with different yoga organisers or studios. If you have a group and wish to engage us in our 200-hour Hañsa Fundamental Yoga Teacher Training program, please contact us and we can discuss the matter further.

Learn more about the 200-hour Teacher training here.

If you already went through a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, you can take our Hañsa Flow Certification Intensive Training.

The Hañsa Flow Certification Intensive Training is a 4-day training that provides the background, practice and philosophy of flow as a movement practice. You will also study a sequence and see how these movements embody the Hañsa therapeutics system.

Upon successful completion of the training, you’ll be awarded the Level 1 Hañsa Flow Teacher certification and you have the ability to teach a basic Hañsa Flow practice.

You’ll also be eligible to subscribe to our Black Swan membership where you’ll get updated sequences and receive mentoring to support your learning journey.

If you’ve taken a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, then you can take our Hañsa Therapy Professional Training.

The Level 1 of the Hañsa Therapy Professional training is equivalent to about 200 hours of study.

Upon completion of the Level 1 training, you’ll gain a better understanding of the body’s biomechanics and understand how to support basic injuries and dysfunctions. You’ll also be able to teach basic Hañsa Therapy class.

The Level 2 of the Hañsa Therapy Professional training is equivalent to about 300 hours of study.

Upon completion of the Level 2 training, you’ll gain deeper understanding of the body’s behaviours, functions, and and characteristics. You’ll be able to give therapy to others under mentoring.

We recommend taking all of our teacher training offline and in person because the applications of the Hañsa principles, especially the Functional Touch techniques, involve layered and subtle nuances that can only be experienced in person.

However, to accommodate the limitation of the pandemic, we have set up hybrid formats for our trainings.

If you’re interested in being a certified Hañsa Flow teacher, you can begin your training by taking the Online Principles of Flow training. You can later complete your flow training by joining a Level 1 Hañsa Flow Certification Intensive whenever it becomes possible for you to join the offline training.

If you’re interested in taking one of the Hañsa Therapy trainings, check out our Hañsa Professional training, where each module of the training will be delivered in combination of online lectures and recordings, and completed with an offline weekend training.

Sign up to our newsletter to be notified of our upcoming trainings to join them!

At the moment, we don’t have one planned. We’re continually monitoring social restrictions related to the pandemic and we will hold one as soon as it’s feasible to do so.

We’ll announce our upcoming training through this website, our social channels (Facebook and Instagram), and our newsletter.
