Techniques for channeling and directing your energy by consciously controlling your breath.
Breathwork is a combination of ancient and contemporary techniques for channeling and directing your energy by consciously controlling your breath. Practiced either seated or reclined, the classes involve slowing the breath down, speeding it up, retaining the breath for given durations, and manipulating the nostrils to direct the flow of energy through different nadis (energy channels). Depending on the practice, breathwork can leave you feeling energized, focused, calm, relaxed, or ready for sleep. Please start your journey with short simple classes and build gently.
