About this Event

Saturday 1-4 pm Part 1: The 4th Limb of Yoga: The Science of Breath/Art of Breath Control


Pranayama translates as ‘control of life force’. The primary mechanism for achieving this is through control of the breath. The first of these workshops covers the basics of breath control and the second workshop progresses to more advanced practices including some obscure and rare forms of pranayama.


The Science of Breath: This workshop will give you the opportunity to discover for yourself whether you have good breathing habits, and to improve your breathing and thus improve your overall physical, mental and emotional health. Learn specific breathing techniques that: reduce allergies; reduce risks of colds and flu; help control emotions; relax muscles; improve the health of the heart, lungs, & abdominal organs; purify the blood; rest the mind more effectively than sleep; expand lung capacity; balance energy flow throughout the body; and more.


The Art of Breath Control: This is a more advanced workshop on Pranayama. It is for students who have attended the Science of Breath or already have a basic understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of breath and have good diaphragmatic breathing habits established. In this workshop, we look at more advanced and exotic breathing patterns and exercises from the ancient yogic traditions.


40% discussion, 10% asana, 40% pranayama & 10% meditation.


4-6 pm Part 2: Yoga Asana and Pranayama for the Endocrine System


One of the things that distinguishes yoga from most Western exercise programs, is Yoga’s emphasis on the health of the endocrine system. In this workshop we will explore how our thinking, breathing, posture and asana practice can affect the endocrine system. We will touch lightly on the interaction of the nervous system and the endocrine system, with subtle energy.


10% discussion, 60% asana, 20% pranayama & 10% meditation.
