Relax and Breathe: A Pranayama Breathing Workshop
It is said that the breath and the mind are like two fishes in a pond, when one stands still so the other. In the Sutras of Patanjali, Pranayama follows asana and acts as the gateway for our inner practices.
In this workshop, we will learn some basic breathing principles and techniques such as:
• “Full breathing” and Therapeutic Purposes.
• How to deepen our asana practice through the use of the breath.
• Some detoxifying and balancing breathing techniques.
As we deepen out connection to the breath during our practice we will find ourselves in the now thus allowing us to destress and relax. This workshop will consist of a short introduction to Pranayama basic principles, followed by a practice in which we will integrate these principle. Finally, it will end with a short Pranayama sitting.
