Physical mechanics of breathing
Breath & Emotions
Pranayama

Module 1

"In this first module, we’ll start with a consideration of the “Big Picture”, the “cosmic perspective” as it were, and then move towards many of the specifics, subtleties and nuances involved in conscious breathing as we go."

Module 1: (The Big Picture)

We begin by zooming out and opening up to a cosmic perspective on breath, how it is both literally and symbolically expressed in both the universe and within ourselves, inviting you to consider breath in all it's “breadth” and depth. We are also including a breath awareness exercise and a guided “belly breathing” meditation to support your relationship with the best friend you'll ever have.

Module 2

"Now that you’ve spent some time simply observing your breath, becoming more aware of it’s tendencies, the different ways you’re inclined to breathe in certain situations, and the way the breath can change on it’s own simply by paying attention to it, we’re going to start applying some additional techniques: engaging with some new approaches while consciously letting go of others."

Module 2: (Nuts and Bolts).

In this module we deepen our exploration and expand our knowledge of the breath on both the physical, mental, societal and energetic levels. You will also receive two new guided practices, “Natural/3-Part Breathing” and “Ujayii” breathing from the yogic tradition.

As always, however, change is just a breath away; with the proper intention, we can breathe in and breathe out fully and completely in the next moment that arises, and then the next, and the next, flowing and harmonizing with our surroundings and within ourselves.

Module 3

"We regularly use the metaphor of weather and temperature to describe our emotions and visa-versa (“fired up”; “raging snowstorm”, “chilled out” etc). While the reasons for this often go unexamined and thus become simple figures of speech, you might consider that emotions are physiological and psychological balancing mechanisms—designed to arise..."

Module 3 (Emotions in Motion).

This module is all about breath and it's relationship to emotions and visa-versa, with an emphasis on empowering ourselves to shift our emotional state via breathwork, with plenty of practical guidance and as always, a guided practice.

Module 4

"You may be wondering what the benefits of what seems like “holding your breath’ might be; it may even seem to contradict much of what we’ve learned and practiced so far. "

Module 4 (Moving Forward with Pranayama).

In this final module, we review our practices and what we've learned so far in addition to taking a closer look at Pranayama, together with a couple of advanced practices (“Kumbhaka” and “Viloma”). We also go into even greater detail regarding breathwork and some of the important things to keep in mind/watch out for as you lengthen your
sessions and/or add specialized techniques. We're including a downloadable “Breathing and Pranayama” spectrum chart and you'll also receive a final guided breath meditation!
