Exploring the Breathing Body

Sunday Workshop: November: Sunday 13th 2005

Cost: Workshop in Queenscliffe $80

Venue: Municipal Town Hall , 50 Learmonth St. Queenscliffe.

Breath is one of the most central tools in yoga. It is used not only as an indicator of the quality of our well-being, but also to influence our health, state of mind and stamina. Through the breath, many things about our human system can be understood, explored and nurtured. This is one of the reasons why breath has been considered the most vital component of yoga.

Energizing practices

The tool of conscious regulation of the breath – Pranayama, is vital to yoga practices.

Being very subtle and powerful, pranayama needs to be practiced with care and caution, failing which it will become more dangerous than useful.

 

Pranayama may be used to influence not just our physical body, but also the different layers we are made up of. Prana is the vital breath that pervades every part of our human system, including our body, mind, personality traits as well as our emotions. Hence it has the potential to reach and make impacts on every one of these levels, if utilized very carefully.

 

The first master who compiled yoga teachings into the yoga sutras was a great sage called Patanjali. He has very beautifully explained the spirit behind the practice of pranayama, which forms the theme for this series of workshops.
