Your breath is not just a part of your practice; it is its essence. It's not just a part of your life, but life itself. Understanding and mastering your breath is the key to unlocking your potential, on and off the mat. 

Traditionally, yoga classes begin or end with Pranayama (breathing techniques.) Less attention is given to day-to-day breathing or breathing within poses beyond being told when to inhale and exhale. True functional breathing is more than inhaling and exhaling from an external cue. 

In this 10-hour all-levels training, you will:

• Understand the relationship between daily functional breathing and pranayama

• Delve into the biochemistry and biomechanics of breathing

• Discover why understanding the Ayurvedic vayus are crucial to understanding pranayama

• Measure how functional your day-to-day breathing is

• Learn to train your respiratory system to be more efficient and imbue the body with more oxygen

• Increase adaptability and resilience to stress on a cellular level 

• Practice seasonal pranayama techniques and tailor them to the changing state of your unique body-mind 

When you become a master of your breathing, nothing can throw you off center. 

You can attend one or both sessions. Day 2 is designed to build from and contextualize Day 1. 

• Day 1: Saturday, January 25th - The Science of Everyday Breathing 

• Day 2: Sunday, January 26th - The Art of Pranayama
