Advanced Viniyoga Applications 1

Developing One to One Teaching Relationships

The deep and immersive study of Prānāyāma you have been searching for is here.

Prāṇāyāma is one of the most important and powerful tools in yoga.

And yet prāṇāyāma is a very subtle tool, one that directs the experience of a practitioner so profoundly, that mis-application can have strongly negative effects on a practitioner because breathing is so foundational to life that the body regulates it very closely.

This means that not all breathing practices are acceptable to all practitioners. There are very clear limitations in what different people can do. With prāṇāyāma, it is especially important to accurately assess the extent of breathing the person is capable of and to know the next step in their development.

Advanced Viniyoga Applications: Prāṇāyāma - Breathing in Viniyoga is a 15-month extensive exploration into the power and purpose of Prānāyāma in our practice.
