The KYM is honored to announce the third series of this specialised programme to deepen one’s comprehension of the intrinsic mind-body-breath relationship. This experience will demonstrate precisely how synchronised breathing can elevate both awareness and the functional efficacy of each posture. The programme begins with a concise yet comprehensive introduction to this triadic relationship, ensuring participants are equipped to seamlessly integrate this connection into their personal practice.
Āsana serves as the foundational entry point to the Yoga journey. Within this discipline, breath plays a crucial and transformative role. By linking the mind and body, breath facilitates the cultivation of profound awareness and equilibrium.
In the words of Śrī TKV Desikachar, “Breath is the intelligence of the body.” It is the breath that acts as an intrinsic guide, directly reflecting one’s mental state and providing a pathway for deeper physical embodiment. Consequently, breath coordination is recognised as an indispensable element in every Āsana practice in the KYM tradition.
Participants will engage with breath-related techniques and intensifications, such as breath holds after inhalation and exhalation, sustained posture duration, and the integration of chanting, to directly observe the profound influence of breath upon both the physical posture and the mental state.
This programme will be anchored by Ms. Poornima Kavlekar, Yoga Therapist and Senior Teacher, KYM.
Video recordings will be made available for a limited period to all registered participants, the schedule of which will be shared.
