Breathe Deeper: Learning the Breath & Bandhas

Breathe Deeper: Learning the Breath & Bandhas


Jul 28

This workshop will focus on deepening our awareness and understanding of breath and bandhas  We will explore what and where the bandhas are and how bandhas make the practice of the postures safer and more powerful in their effects. We will practice how to apply bandhas while holding a posture and during the practice of pranayama, also known as the breath. We will explore how to use these techniques to improve postural and body awareness in our everyday movements.
 
Bandhas are gateways into the energetic and more subtle aspects of practicing yoga. Their energetic effects bring lightness and internal strength to the physical body. Practice of the bandhas also stimulates our digestive fire and shifts our energy system into higher gear. With regular practice we collect, transform and re-direct our energy.
 
Please come with an empty stomach. This workshop is for students new to yoga as well as experienced practitioners.

 

This yoga workshop recurs on the 4th Saturday of every month with a different topic.
