Pranayama Workshop (online)

​

If you are interested to discover deeper the infinite potential you have within through breathing, this workshop may be something for you.

 

Breathing is the most vital key to life. Our phsyical, emotional and mental health
is directly reflected and influenced by our breath. Yet, how often are we
conscious about it?

Breath is the bridge between body, mind and spirit. It connects us to the present
moment in the most spontanious and simple way. This is the first and most
essential condition for yoga.

Once we are aware of the breath, we can learn to control and extend it in order
to awaken specific qualities and attributes within ourselves. According to sage
Patanjali, pranayama has to be practiced once the body is steady, firm and at
ease. It is a stepping stone into the depth of our being and a preperation for
meditation. However, certain techniques can as well be practiced to awaken
dynamism, will power, boost the immune system and become a more awake and
energetic cocreator in the play of life. Pranayama can be used for effectively
handling stressful situations and releasing blocked energies and thus be useful for
any aspect of life.
