Prana is the life force that exists within all living beings.Pranayama is the act of elongating and prolonging our life force through certain breathing techniques and exercises.
In this class, we will discuss the significance of Prana and learn nine breathing techniques to enhance and engage prana in our daily life.
According to Ayurveda, Spring is the season of Kapha dosha--the mind-body type dominated by water and earth elements. During this season, we should focus on activating and clearing out mucus and building up fluids and excesses from the seats of Kapha in the body. Two main seats of kapha in the body are the lungs and sinuses. These Pranayama will help us expel mucus, greif, toxins, stagnation and other trapped emotions from our physical and subtle bodies.
Furthermore, Prana is known to be the pure essence of Vata dosha (the psycho-physiological type governed by air and ether). When yoga systems and other health practices are done excessively or improperly, one possible result is ending up with elevated Vata such as insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, and dryness of the body. When practiced properly, prana can elevate functionality of mind, body, and strengthen our connection with soul. In Pranayama exercises, we learn how to harness and convert Vata excess into nourishing Prana.
We will be learning and practicing 9 Pranayamas (breathing exercises):
-three will be heating and cleansing
-three will be cooling and soothing
-three will be neutral and balancing
All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Please avoid eating a heavy meal at least 2 hours before the class.
This workshop will be warm.
