Western science is finally now coming to understand something yogis have understood for centuries; the power of our breath. Learning to breathe more effectively can influence mental and physical well-being. Various breathing techniques allow us to hack into our own nervous system, control our immune response, and restore our health. Changing how we breathe will even help us live longer. 

Pranayama is the practice of yogic breathing. In this workshop we will explore various types of pranayama; natural breath, ujjayi, nadi shodhana, voluma breath and their benefits. This 2 hours class will include theory &  explanation, a gentle asana practice to prepare the body for breathing and pranayama. Come deepen your yoga practice and learn how you can utilize your breath to encourage focus, relieve stress and improve your life. 

Come in comfortable clothes that you can practice in, bring a notebook if you would like to take notes, water, and a mat. 

“No matter what we eat, how much we exercise, how resilient our genes are, how skinny or young or wise we are—none of it will matter unless we’re breathing correctly. That’s what these researchers discovered. The missing pillar in health is breath. It all starts there.” -James Nestor, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
