06527 Yoga, Breath and Pranayama

meditateThe breath is an amazing tool to facilitate wellness on all levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “the breath is a cordial of incredible virtue”. The breath is our constant companion. In this series of classes, we will explore a myriad of ways to enhance our relationship with this companion. We’ll open and prepare the body and mind with a short series of gentle flowing yoga poses. We’ll then proceed to supported reclining restorative poses and work with both Breath Awareness and then yogic Pranayama. Pranayama is one of the most beneficial practices of Yoga. This practice works with the breath in somewhat exaggerated depth and rhythms, in the hopes that when we return to our normal breath, it will naturally be deeper, slower and smoother. These qualities of the breath help to lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate and take us to a level of the nervous system that induces calm and steadiness. Experience with Yoga is helpful but not necessary, if there are no serious physical limitations.
