Pranayama is a cornerstone of the practice of yoga. Since the mind, body and emotions are so deeply connected to the breath, changing the way we breathe can powerfully influence how we feel. In fact, it's amazing how much can change in only 15-20 breaths. And yet, the breath is quite subtle. It has a will of it's own which we have to respect and learn how to work with if we are to obtain the desired effects (and not the opposite effect!).
The 2nd Chapter of Patanjali's yogasutra states that the practice of pranayama consists of: the location where the breath is controlled, the number of breaths taken and the duration of each part of the breath. Learn how to sequence the length of each breath so you can comfortably reach specific breathing ratios and feel their effects. We focus on
understanding the principles underlying the sequencing of breathing ratios through numerous practical examples. This is a practical, "how to" workshop, that will be useful for practitioners and teachers of all levels.

The real power of yoga lies not in the strength and vitality it gives the physical body, but rather in the profoundly positive ways it changes our human system on a daily level by refining the mind, clearing negative emotions, creating positive habits and behaviors, improving our relationships, and bringing forth profound spiritual experiences.
This workshop is open to all levels and new comers will find it open and accessible, just as advanced practitioners will find it rich and informative. Each day includes 1 hour of chanting, 2 hours of sutra explanation, and 1 hour of led practice designed to illuminate ideas covered in the sutra’s explanation. Over the course of four weekends, 50 hours of Patanjali’s Yogasutra will be studied. Students who take all four workshops will receive credits with KHYF, Yoga Shala and Yoga Alliance. This workshop is designed for students to begin at any point in the 4-workshop course.
