As a big lover and teacher of pranayama, I have been teaching breathing practices on yoga teacher training courses for over 12 yrs and I would love to share some basic practices with you. In this pranayama course, we will learn the what, why, and how of 5 breathing techniques:  

1) Cleansing Breath 

2) Maha Yoga Pranayama 

3) Ujjayi

4) Kapalabhati 

5) Nadi Shodhana  

And then we will practice the techniques together in 4 individual and unique pranayama practices:  

1) Pre Asana Pranayama: This is the perfect sequence of breathing practices to complete before you begin your asana practice  

2) Pre Meditation Pranayama: It's highly advisable to practice some pranayama before you enter a meditation practice. This sequence of practices will help to settle and balance your energies and focus your mind in preparation for meditation.  

3) Wake up Pranayama: Do you struggle to get going in the morning? Start your day with this short and sweet breathing practice that will have you feeling fresh, alert, and ready to start your day.  

4) Bedtime Pranayama: Do you have difficulties going to sleep at night? This pranayama set is the perfect way to end your day and support you into

5) a deep and restful sleep At the end of this course, you will understand the effects and benefits of each of the breathing techniques introduced and you will be able to practice those techniques with skill and know-how in different sequences for different purposes. I hope you can join me for this amazing healing and transformative practice.
