Breath Practices, Pranayama and the Subtle Energy of Meditation with James Bae

With reference to Ayurveda and Asian Medicine

This class is a live online offering via Zoom.

Sat. May, 30.

Facilitated by Sister Moon Wellness

2.5-3hrs (15 min break)

Suggested donation: $30

This interactive webinar - part practice, part theory - will provide insight into the role and function of prana in healing and meditation. The purpose of this introduction is to provide an overview of traditional pranayama and to foster more skillful, informed therapy and personal cultivation.

Participants are encouraged to have their videos on, and to contribute to the dialogue. We will explore different principles and methods in order to refine our “approach.” One does not require a background in Ayurveda, though are encouraged to brush up on some foundational topics (five elements, doshas, vayus, channels and chakras). If this is new terminology for you, it will all be covered in the Anatomy of Respiration and Pranayama class with Kendra the week prior).

This online meeting suits the need of continuing education for committed practitioners and yoga educators. 

If you haven’t already, we aim to facilitate an in-depth grasp of ‘classical’ pranayama following yoga-sutra methodology, Hatha Yoga pranayama, breath and energy practices in the context of meditation.

These insights are drawn from over two decades of practice and teaching of Yoga, Asian medicine and mindbody disciplines. Some have raised interest in discussing applications - e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma and how traditional theories and practices contribute to healing amidst this global health crisis.

Join us. We benefit from many voices in this dialogue.
