Pranayama is the bridge that leads to the deeper dimensions of Yoga.
It is literally the ‘breath of life’ and forms the foundation upon which the
energy aspect of Yoga is built and developed.
The course offers :
- Guidance from a teacher who has been at the forefront of Pranayama training in the UK for decades.
- A structured & supervised personal development programme enabling you to expand & deepen your own practice.
- A comprehensive illustrated Course Manual covering all the practices on the course.
- Certificate on completion.
Who this course is for?
This course is designed to benefit students & teachers alike.
It involves an in depth exploration of pranayama on 2 levels :
Self Development:
• You will learn the Pranayamas thoroughly, in a logical and structured way starting with developing complete control over the act of breathing.
• You will learn postures & sequences which enhance the potential and flexibility of the respiratory system.
• A systematic guided home practice schedule is at the heart of this course.
• Pranayama is a powerful tool for health & healing. The course involves a wider and holistic development of the whole being : physical, emotional, mental & spiritual.
Teaching
• The thorough development of a personal practice is crucial for the teaching of Pranayama.
• From this foundation the course will examine ways to introduce and develop structured programmes for the teaching of Pranayama.
The Course progresses through 5 distinct phases :
- Foundations : The mechanics of ‘basic breathing’.
- Development : The use of breathing rhythms to manipulate prana.
- Alignment : Breathing patterns & visualisation techniques to bring
harmony within the Koshas. - Purification : Nadi Shodhana & the Bandhas.
- Classical : Preliminary & developmental levels of Classical Pranayamas
as described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
