Pranayama Class Description

Our breath connects our inner world with the outer world; it brings our inner core in contact with the universe outside. It is a built-in form of giving and receiving just like the rhythm of the sea. We know there is something always there, but something is rarely felt or noticed. The class will start with settling the body with sandbags and then we can to relax and attend to the breath, noticing the breath and learning pranayama techniques. The core of the practice is to slow and quiet the breath which can leave a profound stillness on the mind and body.

Props such as bolsters, blankets, belts and blocks will be used during this session. Props are provided at the studio but feel free to bring your own.

This hour-long practice is open to students of all levels. If you are joining online please have a bolster (or two firm blankets), 2-3 blankets, yoga strap (or a belt, long scarf, etc.), 2 blocks, and a bit of wall space.
