Take a moment to pause and consider the transformative power of a single breath. In this module, we embark on a profound exploration of the impact and significance of conscious breathing. We delve into the functions, the myriad benefits, and the life-altering reasons that make the art of breathing truly remarkable.
Through the timeless techniques of classical pranayama and dedicated sadhana, we uncover a diverse array of breathing practices, enabling us to discern the perfect practice for each unique moment. Our journey extends beyond mere breath control; we gain a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of respiration while delving into the art of breathwork, differentiating its various aspects.
But that’s not all! As we immerse ourselves in the world of breath, we simultaneously nurture our awareness of Sanskrit. We engage in a start of the study of Sanskrit and lay the foundation for understanding basic translations, forging a deeper connection to the roots of yoga.
So, join us as we breathe life into this transformative module, where the rhythm of your breath becomes the gateway to a world of wisdom and self-discovery. It’s a journey where each inhale and exhale is a step towards a more you-er you.
HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE
- Pranayama sadhana
We will have 2 pranayama practices per day, and as a prerequisite for the training you will get a daily practice to start at home 21 days before. The sadhana will include Kapalabhati kriya, Nadi shodana, Anuloma Viloma, Full Yogic Breath, Brahma Mudra, Uddiyana Bandha Kriya, Dirga Breath and Suyra Bhedana – not all together at once but to familarize yourself with before the course.
- The physiology of respiration
Gain a wider knowledge of how it works, why it works and what it affects in the body and brain with Petra Kalla. Our breath isn’t just your everyday inhale and exhale – it’s the funky conductor of a symphony that influences everything from your nervous system to your heart’s groove, your immune system’s jam, and even the dance moves of your digestive system. The list goes on and it’s all about the breath’s influence!
- Study of Sanskrit
A first step into the world of pronunciation, vowels, syllables and grammar. To know how to read the many sanskrit words you meet in the study and sharing of yoga, it feels quite important to honor the sounds and vibrations of this language.
- Breathwork
Emil Nylander is joining us on this course to shine light on the practice of Breathwork, to discuss similarities and differences, have you try new ways of breathing and understand more about breath retention and capacity.
