Integrating the Breath into Asana Practice

Panayama is the yogic practice of breath control. In this workshop, we will first learn and practice a variety of breathing patterns and then explore ways to integrate these breathing patterns into our asana practice. When we move as deep into a pose as we can the breath is sacrificed. Overtime we develop poor breathing habits in these poses. Learn how to use all 8 areas of your lungs in different combinations to support your breath. Then explore how to emphasize different combinations to breath in each different pose, and during transitions. Learn how to use breath to help relax muscles during a stretch, how to improve balance, eliminate frustration with challenging poses, improve stamina, and elevate your physical asana practice to the level of moving meditation. When you experience the difference that a breath centered practice makes you will never want to go back.
