This is a 4-Week Course of Pranayama, the Yoga Art of Breath Control. Meets 4 Saturdays 3:00pm-4:15pm September 3-28, 2019

In the first part of each session, workshop participants will have a chance to learn and experience several of the most effective restorative poses which draw your mind inward, open your chest and prepare the mind and body for the subtle practice of pranayama.

Many of these poses are gentle supported backarches on bolsters or specialized yoga pillows.

In the second part of each class session, students will learn and experience several beginning pranayama (yoga breathing) exercises.

Pranayama is a part of yoga practice where the breathing is done consciously and deliberately to awaken its potential, to develop our capacity for concentration, to soothe the mind, and to revitalize our energy pools.
