Yogic Breathing

Yogic Breathwork
To a yogi, the breath is the key that unlocks the heavy doors that keep the unconscious mind far from our awareness. A hatha or restorative yoga class offers basic breathing techniques that go a long way toward liberating the mind and body from the heavy burden of the ego but when a student of yoga is ready to really delve into the unconscious mind and look squarely at the psychological, emotional and physical clutter that have been stored there for many years, more advanced breathing techniques are employed.

 

When the student comes in touch with the finer forces called prana he can learn to control his mind, for it is tightly fastened to prana like a kite to a string.  When the string is held skillfully, the kite, which wants to fly here and there, is controlled and flies in the direction desired.

—Swami Rama

Pranic Breathing
There are many advanced breathing techniques available, but not all of those techniques are suited for our western lifestyles.  So I developed a technique called Pranic Breathing, which is rooted in ancient yogic practice but modified for the modern yogi.

This powerful yet simple technique greatly increasing the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood and the amount prana (life energy) moving through the energy body to release deeply held bocks and age old patterns (samskaras).
