Have you noticed what your breathing patterns are like lately? It's usually a good way to tell whether we're facing physical or emotional obstacles, from daily stressors, tensions, or physical habits. Most of the time, our breathing becomes shallow or stilted without us realising it. These unconscious patterns restrict the flow of prana, our life force.
In this class, you'll explore pranayama, which are yogic breathing exercises that help to clear these obstacles internally. As a result, you are able to free the breath, and therefore facilitate the healthy flow of prana - life energy.
Systematic deep breathing also helps to calm your mind by releasing endorphins*. This is deeply beneficial to us, as many illnesses have been found to be linked to stress and emotional imbalance. Discover how the simple act of breathing well can help you to gain mental clarity, regulate your heart rate and blood pressure, and reduce stress.
