Pranayama for Energy & Vitality

Kalyani Carlee Cohen  Barr
Kalyani Carlee Cohen Barr
Pranayama, or controlling of vital energy, brings great benefits to the body and mind.  Join Kalyani in practices to invite: energy in the body, a calm and clear mind, balance in body systems/nervous system, a strong immune system, and more.  During this 45 minute morning session we will explore more deeply the practices usually included in hatha classes, such as Deerga Swaasam, Kapalabhati, Ujjai and Nadhi Suddhi. In addition, more advanced Prana Mudra, Ganesha Mudra, Sivananda Healing Breath, and Sat Kriya, and others will be introduced (Kalyani has most recently learned from Margabandhu Marturano, IYINJ and Richard Miller of i-Rest). Learn not only how to breathe efficiently, but why it is so important for health. Feel free to bring questions.  For experienced practitioners and beginners alike.

This is a mat based class in which participants practice a joint freeing series as well as gentle strengthening work. We use props such as blocks, straps, blankets and cushions to help us with our goals and make adjustments to keep our bodies comfortable.
