Upcoming Workshops

"Pranayama" - Jun 14, Aug 9, 5-7pm at Yoga of Los Altos
All levels who wish to explore the BREATH and PRANA are welcomed. According to Sage Patanjali, pranayama is the 4th aspect of the 8 interrelated limbs of Yoga. Prana means life force, bio-force (B.K.S.Iyengar), divine energy… Ayama is translated as prolongation, restraint, control, regulation … Pranayama is the practice of the consciously, skillfully and volunteered control, restraint and prolongation of the breath AND prana.

The learning process will begin with a SOLID FOUNDATION. We will learn about the physical actions and movements of the lungs, rib cage, skin etc.., and about the subtle travels of the self-created energy through the various techniques of pranayama. There are many different pranayama techniques and levels, and as almost with everything in life we want to build our knowledge and life experiences on a solid foundation. This science works on the subtleties of the body and mind as they relate to the nervous system, the emotions, and the flow of awareness and energy. a
