Overview
What is Pranayama
The autonomic nervous system is directly influenced by the way we breath. These breathing techniques developed by yogic masters, allow the human to come into direct contact with the internal mechanisms of the body, otherwise impossible to reach, thus empowering the human to willfully influence the nervous system, direct energy flow, and focus on the mind.
The breath plays a central role in practicing any form of yoga. Pranayama is considered the “Maha Yoga” or main/most important yoga in ancient yogic traditions.
In this class you will get to know your five bodies as explained in the Siddha Yoga Tradition: the physical body (annamaya kosha), energetic/emotional/vital body (pranamaya kosha), mental body (manomaya kosha), intuitive/wisedom body (vijnanamaya kosha) and infinite soul body (anandamaya kosa).
You will explore your own anatomy and physiology within the context of highly-effective yogic breathing techniques. Through scientific theory and group practice, you will engage in a form of self-discovery in a small-group setting.
Pranayama Course Structure
The pranayama courses are taught in a consecutive manner – each module building on the previous one.
Once students finish Level 1 (5 modules), they continue to level 2 (5 modules) and then level 3 (5 modules).
Some of the techniques are basic pranayama techniques, which can be found in many traditions while others are further-developed unique techniques based on physiological understanding and exploration, which can only be found in this series.
