Secret Life of Breath

The way we breathe affects every system in the body. We can radically and positively influence all of our body's systems by breathing in a more conscious, full and relaxed manner.

Pranayama is the branch of Yogic practice that deals specifically with the full and free delivery of oxygen to the cells and the maximisation of energy (Prana) available to maintain Homeostasis (aka a Sattvic state).

Join Asia Pacific Yoga lead teacher Steve Hall (E-RYT500) on a 2 hour experiential and educational journey into the anatomy and physiology of Breath.

We will follow the journey of that vital nutrient Oxygen from the environment, into the lungs and into the cells. This action is largely unconscious for most people, yet it requires a complex co-ordination of several bodily systems.

The Nervous system (Autonomic and Somatic)
Musculo-skeletal system
Respiratory system
Cardio-vascular system

A simple understanding of these systems can profoundly alter the awareness, respect and gratitude that we give them to support their functioning.

From this workshop you will take away a set of exercises for your personal practice that is aimed at changing your breathing habits and improving the quality of your life. Experience and see how we can breathe more fully and with more relaxation.

This workshop is open to all levels of practice.
