The origins of postures and hatha yoga were to prepare and support the body for meditation and deep relaxation practices. Pranayam (breath control) was a vital link in strengthening and steadying the mind for meditation.

Proper breathing profoundly improves our whole physical and mental well being.The breath is the only physiological process that can be either voluntary or involuntary. Through Breath Awareness and Pranayam practices we can learn how to relax our body and mind, how to re-energize ourselves and how to tune into our subtle bodies.

This course will focus on teaching gentle asanas (postures) to prepare you for various pranayama and relaxation practices. There is no need to be flexible or strong and this course is suitable for all levels of experience in yoga.
