Pranayama 101

Flyer for Pranayama 101 four-session series at True Nature Holistic Arts, featuring a person meditating, a lotus flower, tree and sun logo, and details about dates, times, price, location, and website.

A four session series introducing the practice and physiology of yogic breathing. 

In this focused, four session, once per week series, Marianne guides you with teachings and practices, investigating how and why practicing pranayama is one of the best things we can do for great health.

Pranayama, the science and practice of cultivating awareness of breath and developing healthy breathing, leads to the harmonious functioning of our brain, nervous system and internal organs. 

Practicing even a few basic skills with good understanding can lead to a calmer mind, healthier body and brighter spirit. Mastering a few techniques can make an important difference, and open the door to a lifetime of benefits, as developing strong functional breathing can deeply affect our long-term health and how well we age. 

We will explore the sensations of breathing, retrain the muscles used in respiration, and refine our sense of the movement of breath and energy throughout the body and beyond.

It's a space where families can come together, shed inhibitions, and celebrate their unique rhythm in a supportive environment. The music used in ecstatic dance often spans various genres, creating a dynamic atmosphere that inspires creativity and spontaneity. This practice not only fosters physical activity but also strengthens emotional bonds, as participants share in the collective energy and joy of the moment.
