PRANAYAMA
This class may have a minimal gentle physical practice, but will mainly focus on the breathing techniques in classical hatha yoga. Basic Sessions will focus on simple and effective techniques suitable for a wide range of practitioners. In the Intermediate Sessions, the teacher may also incorporate kumbhaka (breath retention) and bandha (physical locks) to help deepen the experience. These sessions are appropriate for seasoned practitioners and teachers who would like to explore the more subtle yet powerful aspect of yoga.
