Pranayama for Stress Relief - 6 week program

Hi, I'm Alice! Join me for a calming and rejuvenating program focused on relieving the effects of stress and building resilience through the practice of pranayama.

Pranayama is a yogic practice that involves breath control to enhance physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Pranayama techniques involve consciously regulating the breath through various patterns of inhaling, exhaling and breath retention or suspension. These ancient breathing methods can help reduce anxiety, clear the mind, increase lung capacity and bring balance to the body's energy systems.

Over 6 weeks you will learn and practice various pranayama techniques that focus on balancing the nervous system, promote relaxation and enhance mental clarity. When the body is in balance, it allows for space and time to heal itself. We will be building upon the skills learned each week, and you will be given detailed explanations on how to continue these practices on your own at home.
