Pranayama - From Introduction to Deeper Implications

Pranayama - From Introduction to Deeper Implications 1st to 12th March 2010

The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram announces a two-week international program, with specific focus on the deeper aspects of Pranayama, one of the most powerful tools of yoga. Several classical texts emphasize the important of the practice of Pranayama. In fact, these texts state that the practice of yoga will be complete only with Pranayama.

Yogacharya Krishnamacharya’s teachings give special importance to the regulation of breath. While the practice of classical postures is no doubt beneficial, what will further enhance the quality of one’s practice is the integration of movement with breath in a mindful manner. Pranayama is the foundation for meditation, in view of the close relationship between mind and breath.

This two-week program presents in detail, the theory and practice of Pranayama starting from the basic definition of Pranayama and moving on to the deeper and more profound implications of Pranayama, and the practice of the Bandha-s. An understanding of Pranayama and how it works will be extremely beneficial for all yoga teachers and students.
