Pranayama is the science of utilizing the controlled breath to direct, harmonize, and energize life force called prana.

Part one will begin with breath explorations to help release obstacles to the breath. In addition, foundational pranayama techniques will be introduced.

Part two will build upon these principals and introduce more refined pranayamas. As the classes are progressive and sequential, part one is prerequisite for part two and drop-ins are not available.
