10-hour Pranayama Teacher Training

Pranayama is the fourth limb in Patanjali’s 8 limbs. Pranayama refers to different breathing exercises which clear physical and emotional obstacles in the body. Pranayama is derived from the two Sanskrit words ‘prana’ and ‘yama’. ‘Prana’ is life energy or life force while ‘yama’ is restraint or control. Therefore, pranayama would mean controlling of the life energy. The breathing exercises are meant to free the breath so the prana can flow freely.

A foundational introduction to pranayama

Pranayama is believed to be an important part of any yoga practice. There are countless breathing techniques, each with its own unique purpose and benefits. Unfortunately, we don’t have time to explore the myriad of pranayama techniques there are. Instead, we will focus on 10 techniques which we will explore in depth. We will cover the following 10 techniques:

  • Nadi Shodhana

  • Ujjayi

  • Kapalabhati

  • Bhramari

    During this 10-hour teacher training we will look at the physiology behind our breath - how does our breath actually work, and how do we breathe? We will also look at our bandhas (locks) and how we use them during our pranayama practice. We will also explore which position is most beneficial when practicing pranayama.
