About Us

Dennis Dean is the founder and CEO of Pranayama.com. He is the principal teacher and provides stewardship for the teachings and courses offered throughout the platform.

His work draws upon more than 36 years of teaching, practice, and direct experience. A master craftsman as well as a teacher, Dennis has built five yoga studios over the course of his teaching life—four of which he owned and provided stewardship for, and one built alongside Carol Miller for his longtime friend and teacher, Tim Miller. 

Today, that work continues from his private studio on three acres overlooking the five mountain ranges east of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, where he was raised.

 

 

About the image.

This image evokes kumbhaka and dṛṣṭi—breath retention joined with focused attention. Underwater, she embodies both: holding the breath while remaining relaxed, a silent movement within, and completely attentive—a visual expression of becoming Pranayama Fluent.
