He began studying Iyengar Yoga in 1984 and lived in Mysore, India in 1989 studying Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Pattabhi Jois. His teaching includes precision of alignment, anatomical detail and meditative awareness. He is the founder of SATYA, Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga, a somatic practice that complements yoga.

Tias earned a Master’s degree in Eastern Philosophy from St. John’s College in Santa Fe. Tias Little makes his home under the big skies of Santa Fe New Mexico where he co-directs Prajna Yoga with his wife Surya.
