Pranayama Basics

Breathing is the most essential function of any living being. Everyone does it, so the fundamentals often get overlooked. If you intend to start a yoga practice, or return to it, if you started some time ago and forgot the basics, if you are just curious and want to test it for yourself, this is the perfect opportunity to try it out, at your own pace, from the comfort of your home.

You will learn the techniques of energizing and calming Pranayamas, and cleansing techniques that will bring you physical and mental balance. You will also get a glimpse into some more advanced variations and executions of the Pranayamas, and you will learn when NOT to do them, so that you stay on the safe side.

I will not make wild claims or emphasize marginal scientific evidence that link certain techniques to magic healing results. This course will give you the stepping stones for your own personal discovery. Succinct instructional videos and assignments do not have the new-age over enthusiastic subtext. All the information is based on two essential Yogic resources that have been used by yoga teachers around the world.

You will receive a tool for self-monitoring and progress, which will help you stay consistent in your practice even after the course.

Ideally, you will practice each Section for a week, so that you experience the benefits and the improvement in practice.

In that way, the course will take four weeks to complete.
