Pranayama (Breathwork) Workshop 

Saturday Dec 20th 10-11am

Any cancellations are non-refundable.

What is Pranayama?

Pranayama is the science and art of yogic breath. Traditionally practiced after asana, it is a pathway that leads the practitioner inward - refining awareness, improving energy flow, and preparing the mind for deeper states of meditation.

In yoga’s eight-limbed path, pranayama is considered a bridge between the external practices and the inner limbs. With regular practice, the breath becomes healthier, more intelligent, and more sensitive - helping you feel clearer, steadier, and more connected to yourself.

This workshop introduces pranayama in a simple, safe, and accessible way so you can understand not just how to breathe, but why it matters.

What We’ll Explore

Foundational Breath Techniques
Learn essential pranayamas - Nadi Shodhana, Anuloma-Viloma, Dirgha Pranayama, Ujjayi, Bhramari, and a few others - with clear guidance on when and how to practice them.

Energy & Balance
Understand how different breathing patterns can calm, energize, or steady the mind and body.

Mind–Body Awareness
Learn how breath influences mood, focus, and emotional clarity. Develop sensitivity to your internal rhythm.

Closing Meditation
We will end with a quiet, grounding meditation to help you integrate the breathwork.
