This workshop will provide instruction and practice of pranayama techniques that you can integrate into your current practice. One of the most important elements of yoga is our breath. Also known as Pranayama. Over the course of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not, our breath becomes quick and shallow. Constricted breathing can lead to a lack of oxygen to the blood and to the brain, which can result in a number of health problems.

This workshop will provide instruction and practice of pranayama techniques that you can integrate into your current practice.

It will take place over 4 weeks, on Saturdays in November, from 5 to 8 pm.

In this workshop, you will:

learn and practice various pranayama techniques, including kapalabhati, anuloma viloma, shitali, and aum pranayamas;
understand the basics of the yogic philosophy behind pranayama;
learn how to engage the bandhas in your pranayama practice;
practice the integration of pranayama within a complete asana series, followed by your choice of either meditation or relaxation.

Each participant will receive a detailed, illustrated handout to bring home for future reference. A yoga text is optional and can be purchased during registration or at the event.
