PranayamaBreath is life. It is also the bridge between our minds and our bodies. In this workshop, you will learn how to balance your moods and your thoughts through refining your awareness of breath. You will learn both calming and energizing pranayama practices, and study the anatomy of the respiratory system and its relation to Yoga.

Some of the pranayamas covered will be nadi shodhanam, ujjayi, kapalabhati. We will also address bandhas (energy seals) and their relationship to pranayama and asanas. We will apply pranayama to asana practice, in both stillness and in flowing sequence (vinyasa) and we will experience how meditation flows naturally from the breath. We will also cover where and how to teach these practices in your classes.

Neti (nasal wash) instruction will be included in this program. Neti cleanses the nasal passages, supports our immune systems, and prepares us for ease in breathing and meditation. In light of flu season and H1N1 concerns, this practice is indispensable! BYONP (bring your own neti pot) or let us know if you need to purchase one.

AnatomyThis course is designed to expand your awareness of optimal alignment in yoga poses using a number of interrelated perspectives:

• Body: how to feel your physical body in space (structural anatomical    awareness)
• Mind: how to witness your thoughts and emotions in poses
• Breath: how to feel the 5 pranas moving harmoniously
• Spirit: how to align with peace and love
• Sharing: how to transmit this wisdom to others

Emphasis will be on the zones that most students find challenging: the core, the hips and the shoulders. Sessions will include a lecture, discussion and direct application in asana. Please bring a notebook and a digital camera.

Pre-requisites: previous study of anatomy, or permission of the instructor.
