We breathe all day but do we ever really paying attention to it?
In this monthly class Francesca (Level 2 pranayamateacher@Yogaeducationcollege) will introduce some fundamental pranayama techniques, principles, and practices, ideal for those new to pranayama but also a great refresher for those who have done it before.
It is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect.
Pranayama — the practice of conscious breathing — is often linked with yoga, but it’s benefits reach far beyond the mat.
If you are a yogi, you may agree that as we flow through postures, attention can drift toward technique and form, whilst the breath can quietly fade into the background and the rhythm and sound of it can become automatic.
In this class you will learn:
• Simple techniques to prepare the body and the mind for better breathing patterns
• How to practice the classic pranayamas
• How breath fits into a yoga practice
• How the breath can improve aspects of your life such as sleep and digestion
Whether you have a regular yoga practice or none at all, learning to work with your breath can support you in your everyday life, by reducing stress and anxiety and improving focus and mental clarity.
Open to all – come as you are, no experience needed.
Francesca is also offering one Spinal Energetics session after every monthly class – please contact her directly if you are interested @francescapellicanoyoga
