Description:

“When prãna flows quietly, evenly, and unimpeded, we are able to focus, and our inner light is revealed.”

-Nicolai Bachman, The Path of the Yoga Sutras

In Pranayama: The Tradition of Therapeutic Breathwork, we will engage the breath and the body as we learn to feel and influence the movement of our subtle energy. We will use breath awareness practices to understand existing patterns and asana to prepare the body before exploring a series of pranayama practices designed to guide us toward our inner light. Learn techniques to soothe and build resilience in the nervous system, regulate emotions, relieve stress and improve sleep, cultivate steadiness and clarity of mind, and create balance in your energetic system.

5.5 CE/YTT Hours. Offered both In-Studio and Online. $99

"Through the practice of yoga, I found balance and stability in my body, life, relationships, and work. As a teacher, I love the moment when a student discovers a new connection with their body. There may be a look of surprise, a quick intake of breath, or simply a release of tension that allows to find ease in a posture. It’s an experience I know to be available to everyone and every body. When I started teaching yoga to people living with chronic pain I sought out experts in the fields of yoga, physical therapy, and movement science to enhance my training. I now combine my in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, my love of yoga, my years of Buddhist meditation, and my expertise in Chinese Medicine to work as a Certified Yoga Therapist. I am particularly passionate about women’s health, and I strive to empower my patients to take charge of their own health and well-being. In a system that medicalizes the cycles of women’s lives, I remind my patients that aging is a beautiful, natural process to be honored and supported -- not a disease to be treated. Yoga Therapy provides the tools to help my patients live their best lives.” ~ Amy Zahm
