Pranayama, or yogic breathing, is a powerful practice of conscious breath regulation that supports both body and mind. In this class, you’ll explore resonance breathing—a simple, science-backed method shown to promote optimal health, inner calm, and long-term well-being. Through guided techniques, we’ll introduce mudras (gestures), bandhas (energy locks), and kumbhakas (breath retentions), as outlined in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. These time-honored practices help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting emotional balance, mental clarity, and a calmer state of mind during stressful times. Together, we will cultivate resilience, enhance recovery, and expand both physical and mental vitality through the transformative power of breath.

This workshop introduces pranayama—yogic breathing practices that can nurture balance, resilience, and peace of mind. You’ll explore resonance breathing, a simple method shown to support the nervous system and improve overall well-being. Alongside this, you’ll be guided through foundational techniques from the seminal yoga text, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, including mudras (gestures), bandhas (energy locks), and gentle breath retentions.

These practices can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, associated with rest, relaxation and renewal. Many use the methods to help reduce stress, and build steadiness in body and mind—valuable tools for facing life’s challenges with calm and clarity.

Class will take place primarily in seated positions on the floor, supported by blankets, bolsters, and yoga blocks. Please avoid eating for at least 1.5 hours before the session.

Note: This workshop is not recommended for those who are pregnant, or who have heart conditions, hypertension, or hernia.

New to headstands, have a pretty solid one, or somewhere in between? This is a great opportunity to break down traditional headstands, and often-forgotten-about headstand variations! We will start with reviewing the basic headstand we sometimes play with in class and then challenge our balance with five unique arm variations. All levels are welcome. Everyone will accomplish something new, challenge themselves, and get upside down. Come with a playful spirit. Questions are welcome!
