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.

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, the 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.

You’ll walk out of this module equipped with the tools to teach seated meditation classes and courses, design classes around stress management and know how to work in a more trauma informed way.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• Meditation
  You will be guided through a few different techniques, with the aim to understand the practice from a students point of view, so that we can teach you how to share this with others.

HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:

• SAMADHI PADA
  Embarking on the path to becoming a yogi necessitates a heightened awareness of the influence exerted by both personal and external perceptions on our cognitive processes, judgment, decision-making, and subsequent actions.To cultivate a state of non-attachment is to liberate oneself from undue external influences and foster mental equilibrium. This objective is facilitated through the delicate calibration of the Gunas—fundamental qualities of energy, encompassing Tamas (symbolizing darkness and chaos), Rajas (representing activity and passion), and Sattva (indicating beingness and harmony).Striving for equilibrium among these energetic qualities serves as a mechanism for fortifying the mind against external influences. The ultimate aspiration is to transcend the influence of the Gunas entirely, aspiring towards the attainment of Samprajnata Samadhi—a state of discerning contemplation marked by profound mental clarity and liberation.
• SADHANA PADA
  In the second chapter, on enlightenment, Patanjali serves as a guide, instructing on the meticulous construction of the foundations for Samadhi. This involves a gradual process akin to building a mental fortress, emphasizing the importance of orderliness before entering a state of receptive meditation. The journey involves overcoming obstacles, cultivating a detached perspective on life, and dissolving the ego through dedicated meditation.
  The Eight Limbs of Yoga serve as a comprehensive practice, aligning the mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the transcendental state of Samadhi. Among the prescribed practices is Pratipaksha Bhavan, a method aimed at counteracting negative thoughts with positive affirmations, fostering not only joy but also self-realization.Integral to this progression is the practice of asanas, serving as a physical prelude to meditation. By engaging in these postures, the practitioner readies the body to withdraw the senses from external stimuli, facilitating a focused journey inward. In this disciplined approach, one endeavors to navigate the path to profound self-discovery and superconscious awareness.
• VIBHUTI PADA
  This book unveils the incredible possibilities of yoga – enter the realm of Siddhis, those supernatural superpowers you can unlock through the last three limbs of Raja Yoga: Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), and Complete Integration (Samadhi). Blend them together in the magic mix called Samyama, and voila! You’re on the path to enlightening your mind by keeping the info overload in check.
  And, the grand finale – Samadhi. It’s that sweet spot where nothing is missing. Observe yourself to really know yourself, unveiling the true light after tossing aside the external influences. Sure, life throws distractions, but we swing by the practice to turn inward, managing that sweet connection with the true self.
• KAIVALYA PADA
  The last chapter ties it all up, showing how a yogi’s vibe reaches absolute levels – we’re talking Kaivalyam, the absolute and limitless state. The Eight Limbs of Yoga, especially the final three, work their magic, creating a chill, karmic-free zone for the yogi. Death? No biggie. Eternal life desire kicks in.

But wait, there’s more! This book spills the tea on the karmic fate of those who snooze on life’s journey vibes. Forget reflecting, and boom – they might unknowingly rerun life scenarios or score less-than-stellar outcomes in the sequel.
