Course Overview
Description
This six-part course explores the essentials of Pranayama (Yogic Breathing). Pranayama is an ancient practice originating from the yogic traditions of India. It involves the conscious control and regulation of breath, encompassing a range of breathing exercises aimed at enhancing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Pranayama techniques emphasise deep, slow, and deliberate breaths, focusing on the inhalation, exhalation, and retention of breath in various patterns. By engaging in pranayama, practitioners aim to balance and expand their life force energy, known as prana, while promoting relaxation, mental clarity, and a heightened sense of self-awareness. The practice of pranayama is often integrated into yoga and meditation practices, serving as a vital tool for cultivating mindfulness and cultivating a deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.
