Breath of Life - Yogic Pranayama Workshop

Our breath and proper breathing techniques are the key to health, vigor, calmness of mind and emotional equanimity in life. It prepares the body and mind to more easily access deeper states of meditation and is essential on the path to deepening the practice of yoga. We can use Pranayama techniques to loosen overactive emotions as they arise, as well as gently uncover and release old, stuck emotions.

This workshop covers the basic principles, effects, contraindications, and proper techniques of various classical hatha yoga pranayamas for beginners and intermediate levels. We will explore cooling and calming breathing techniques to help ease and release feelings such as anger; warming, active techniques to release feelings such as lethargy and depression; grounding techniques for when you feel absent or restless; and general balance techniques. Come breathe your way to bliss!
