Pranayama Workshop
10am– 12.30pm Saturday Nov 22nd with John Smith at Centenary Yoga Studio, Sinnamon Park
Just as the activities of the mind influence the breath, so does the breath influence our state of mind.
Our intention as we work with the breath is to notice, harness and regulate it so as to calm and focus the mind for deeper meditation. Often people ask if pranayama is dangerous–I assure you that we can practice pranayama as safely as we practice asanas (postures) or anything else. Pranayama is conscious breathing.
‘As long as we pay close attention to the reaction of the body during pranayama, we have nothing to fear’. TKV Desikachar
