SUMMARY:Pranayama Practice
DESCRIPTION:With Swami Gangananda \nIN PERSON OR ONLINE \nPrana is the universal principle of energy or force. “Whatever moves or works or has life\, is but an expression or manifestation of prana.” Breath is the external manifestation of prana. With the regular practice of pranayama—or controlling prana—you can store this energy in your brain and nerve plexi. You need an abundance of prana to be healthy and strong. Hatha Yoga has developed this to a science. \nIn this class\, we will practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Learn a safe practice you can do daily.  \n\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\n\nSwami Sivananda says\, “A pranayama practitioner will have a light body free from disease\, very fair complexion\, a sweet melodious voice\, and pleasant smell from his body. He will have good appetite\, cheerfulness\, a handsome figure\, good strength\, courage\, enthusiasm\, a high standard of health\, vigour and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” \nThe practice is easy and the benefits immediate.  \n \n***NOTE: There will be a second session on Thursday\, June 11 at 5:30pm. \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Yoga Experience?Please describe your yoga experienceHow did you hear about us?What do you hope to learn?Anything else we should know about you?Pranayama Practice *75-minute class - $20.00I would like to attend *in-persononlineTotal$0.00NameSubmit
