Start your morning with traditional yogic breathwork with the benefits of practicing in the peace of nature, fresh air & sunshine.
Pranayama is distinct from modern breathwork. It is an important component & taught in context to the process of yoga. Designed to harness prana (life force energy), purify & balance the nadis (energy channels), awaken subtle energy & still the mind. Not limited to just well-being. Not a quick fix or forceful temporary cathartic experiences, but taught as a safe & gradual process requiring discipline & consistency.
Release toxins, clear and align the energy channels, strengthen the lungs, massage, tone & nourish internal organs, strengthen agni & digestion, oxygenate and improve blood flow, strengthen immunity & clear the mind. Implement various techniques to purify, energize, focus & calm the mind & nervous system & harness the vital life force energy – with kumbhaka & bandha (breath holds and internal locks). Known to increase neuroplasticity, nitric oxide, and erase old mental and emotional patterns. Traditionally, pranayama is the doorway to access higher states of consciousness.
Throughout the ongoing class different practices will be presented. Learn Cleansing kriyas, Himalayan Pranayama including including Ujjayi Variations, Heating & Cooling Breaths, Solar, Lunar & Soli-Lunar Nadi Shuddhi practices, Samantraka Pranayama, Mudra, Pratyahara, Subtle & Contemplative Practices.
