🟣 “In general everyone knows how to inhale and exhale but we usually do this in an incorrect way because our breathing is linked to our mind which is often disordered and confused.” – Chögyal Namkhai Norbu

Yantra Yoga - the Tibetan yoga of movement - is one of the oldest recorded systems of yoga in the world. This ancient practice trains us to breathe and move in harmony with the natural rhythm of the human heartbeat.
📖 Principles is a free online two and a half hour introductory workshop for those interested in the Tibetan Yoga of Movement and the associated styles of breathing. In this workshop we will explore:
- the habitual ways we breathe that are obstructive and unconscious, how they impact the mind and emotions, and how to correct them.
- the fundamental style of vase breathing that is core to Yantra, which supports harmonious and complete inhalation from below and exhalation from above.
- the seven points of the cross legged seated posture that supports yogic and meditation practices of all kinds.
- the opening pranayama Exhaling the Stale Air, which helps clear the energy system before any practice.
- the difference between core styles of direct and indirect breathing, and why we utilize one over the other.
- Demonstration and explanation of 1st and 2nd Preliminary Series.
🟣 Who Should Attend?
- Anyone interested in learning how to breathe in a more harmonious way both during practice and in daily life.
- Yoga students and teachers of other systems who want to deepen their experiential understanding of various styles of complete breathing
- Anyone practicing mindfulness or meditation of any kind who want to have an embodied experience of how the breath relates to the mind and emotions.
