Breathing well affects all areas of our health and life – bringing sufficient oxygen to the body results in increased energy levels and improved physical performance, as well as enhancing mental focus and anxiety & stress relief. It regulates the flow of energy in the subtle energy body, calms the nervous system, and prepares the mind for meditation.
"Praṇayama" is the yogic practice of controlling breath to regulate the body's vital energy. Pranayama is one of the eight limbs of yoga, and an essential part of the yoga tradition.
Explore the art and science of pranayama in this workshop which is open to all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, offering both foundational guidance and opportunities to deepen your practice.
Learn key techniques including the Four Purifications — Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), Kapalabhati (Skull-Shining Breath), Ashwini Mudra (Horse Seal), and Agnisara Dhauti (Fire Wash), along with additional practices like Sheetali (Cooling Breath) and Bhramari (Bee Breath). Together, we’ll explore how breathing well improves all areas of our health and life.

– are intrigued by pranayama and want to learn more but don’t know where to begin;
