This class is meant for the slightly more experienced yoga practitioner. This is an excellent class for those with a steady asana practice. In each class, we not only develop our physical practice, but also learn to deepen our energetic and subtle practices. Modifications and adjustments will be offered.

The word pranayama comes from two words: prana & ayama. ‘Prana’ refers to the universal life force and ‘ayama’ means to regulate or lengthen. Pranayama is not just breath control as commonly perceived but it is the control of prana through the breath. These techniques involve breathing through the nostrils in a specific pattern of inhalation, breath retention, and exhalation. Pranayama brings harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, making one physically, mentally, and spiritually strong. This class will be taught in a led format, where the instructor will guide the students through different pranayama techniques - Ujjayi breathing, Bhastrika pranayama, Bhramari pranayama, and Nadi Shodhan pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) and more.
