Event description

Join me for Uddiyana Bandha (abdominal lock) and Lung stretches workshop at Blueback Freediving & Yoga to achieve greater depths in freediving!

You will learn the anatomy and physiology of uddiyana bandha, common mistakes and how to correct them. We will also explore each breathing muscle, how to fully expand and contract them, science and practice of pranayama (breathing exercise), gentle yoga postures and lung stretches to awaken the whole capacity of your breath and respiratory system.

Diaphragm awareness, training and safe practice help to increase breath-hold time by building a bridge between the brain and body, allowing us to breathe better and expand more fully with less effort.

This special workshop will give you deep insight into the yogic technique of Uddiyana bandha from a freediving and breath-training aspect, while also being informed by a trained yoga instructor.

🌊 Saturday 12 April 3-5pm

🌊 3 Pritchard St, O'Connor WA ( Blueback Freediving & Yoga studio)

Props are all provided. Please come with an empty stomach and loose comfortable clothes.

Kanae is a certified freedive assistant instructor and a yoga teacher. She started her freediving journey when she was 13 and never looked back. She has been working with Blueback Freediving & Yoga as one of the coaches for Level 1 courses and training charters since 2023. Kanae started her yoga journey in Japan with Ashtanga Vinyasa to complement her love for freediving. In 2023, she completed her second 200hr yoga teacher training with Mark Whitwell, a student of T. Krishnamacharya; the 'Father of Modern Yoga' where she learned traditional tantric hatha yoga which puts great focus on the breath. Her endless curiosity and obsession in studying led her to also hold certifications as a breathwork and meditation teacher.

Kanae's unique teaching is underpinned by her extensive knowledge in anatomy and chronic illness, being a highly regarded remedial massage therapist. Being born in Japan and extensively traveling through over 35 countries, Kanae has a natural spirit of hospitality and brings not only her professional competence but also a warm and diverse set of talents to enhance the well-being of each and every person. In her time away from the clinic, you will find Kanae, cuddling every dog on the street, sharing her plant-based food with the birds and picking up garbage on the beach. She is very happy working with Blueback Freediving & Yoga where her huge passion for marine conservation and love for the nature and animals are appreciated.
