FOUNDATIONS OF PRANAYAMA - YOGIC BREATHING

Pranayama, or yogic breathing, is a powerful practice of conscious breath regulation that supports both body and mind. In this class, you’ll explore resonance breathing—a simple, science-backed method shown to promote optimal health, inner calm, and long-term well-being. Through guided techniques, we’ll introduce mudras (gestures), bandhas (energy locks), and kumbhakas (breath retentions), as outlined in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. These time-honored practices help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting emotional balance, mental clarity, and a calmer state of mind during stressful times. Together, we will cultivate resilience, enhance recovery, and expand both physical and mental vitality through the transformative power of breath.

Through yoga practice, I understand one of the most important valuable action is "listening". 💟Listen to our inner voices. 💟Examine our own thoughts and feelings. 💟Receive what we need at the moment. These attitudes are required in practice of yoga towards to personal growth. Listening is not only passive. It’s also active, it’s cultivating sensitive self awareness and helping to gain understanding of ourselves deeper. Remember the wisdoms in us. Listen to the truth and awareness already in us. Are you listening to your true voices? 📷by @john_fineart_photography #yoga #yogapractice #selfreflection

Through yoga practice, I understand one of the most important valuable action is "listening".

💟Listen to our inner voices.

💟Examine our own thoughts and feelings.

💟Receive what we need at the moment.

These attitudes are required in practice of yoga towards to personal growth. Listening is not only passive. It’s also active, it’s cultivating sensitive self awareness and helping to gain understanding of ourselves deeper.

Remember the wisdoms in us. Listen to the truth and awareness already in us.

Are you listening to your true voices?
