Pranayama

“If you can breathe, you can do yoga.”
Pranayama is the practice of conscious, controlled breathing that expands the life force or energy (prana) that exists within each of us. Though often underused and underrated in our day-to-day, the simple act of breathing is an incredibly powerful tool and is available to us at any given moment. Subtle, intentional adjustments to the breath have a direct influence on the nervous system, which promotes balance in the body and mind. Working with the breath opens the door to enhanced awareness and allows practitioners to become fully present for each moment.
