Inhale. Pause. Exhale. Relax. Breathwork has the power to center your mind and decompress your body – and that’s precisely what Pranayama and meditation are all about. 

The term Pranayama comes from the Sanskrit words “prana” (energy) and “yama” (control). 

There are many different styles of Pranayama, but it always involves controlling the flow and speed of your breathing. Breathwork is a key facet of yoga practice, and is the fourth limb of yoga.

Want to take your yoga practice to the next level, study the breath!

It is believed that you can harness control of your mind and emotions by regulating your breath. It is for this reason that Pranayama is practiced in conjunction with meditation. Pranayama meditation techniques can help to prepare your mind for a deeper state of meditation.

By practicing Pranayama and meditation, you can achieve:

• A sense of calm, peace, and balance

• Increased self-awareness and self-esteem

• Reduced stress and fatigue

What to Expect ~

We begin with breathwork to lengthen and smooth the breath, focus the mind and settle our attention inward.  Then, we will practice a 10-15 minute guided meditation. 

This is a perfect lead into a movement class. Or the start to the day!
