Workshops & Retreats

This Pranayama Workshop is an immersive experience designed to introduce you to the ancient art of pranayama, the practice of breath mastery in yoga. This workshop aims to provide you with a deeper understanding of the breath and its profound impact on physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

During this workshop, you will learn various pranayama techniques. You will also explore the integration of pranayama in yoga asanas, emphasizing the importance of building breath awareness and conscious breathing patterns to enhance your yoga practice.
The workshop will also examine the anatomy of the breath, the four components of the breath, breath ratios, and the connection between breath and energy flow within the body.
Additionally, we'll also delve into the teachings of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, where pranayama is outlined as one of the eight limbs of yoga, emphasizing its role in achieving mastery over the mind and attaining higher states of consciousness.

Pranayama extends beyond mere breathing; it involves making unconscious breathing patterns conscious, promoting mindfulness and self-awareness. We'll inquire into the word "pranayama" itself, where "prana" signifies life force or vital energy, and "ayama" means extension or expansion, reflecting the essence of expanding and regulating the life force within.
