Pranayama: The Yogic Method to Unlock Inner Calm and Vitality Through Breath

Pranayama is a yogic process of regulating or controlling “prana” or vital energies. Working with one’s breath offers powerful and effective ways to regulate prana that can detoxify, rejuvenate, energize, or relax the body while bringing calm and focus to the mind. In this workshop, participants will learn about the philosophy and benefits of pranayama, ways to regulate and conserve prana and several classical pranayama techniques that can be integrated with asana or meditation practices.  The workshop will also include a complete ‘yoga session’ on the mat (or chair if you prefer) including gentle yoga postures, deep relaxation, pranayama, and a brief meditation. No previous yoga experience is necessary.
