PRANAYAMA WORKSHOP ON SATURDAY

There's still space in this Saturday's Pranayama (Yoga Breathing) workshop.

This intensive is highly recommended for students with a strong asana practice who are ready for the next step. You'll learn how to weave a breathing practice into your daily routine (and how it fits in with concentration/meditation).

Saturday from 2-5 at Sweet Pea's. Space is limited; pre-registration is encouraged. More info and sign-up here.

PRANAYAMA (YOGIC BREATHING) WORKSHOP WITH KALI OM
Saturday, April 28, 2-5 PM
Sweet Pea's Studio, 3717 N. Ravenswood, Suite 213
$50

Pranayama is the fourth limb of Patanjali's Raja Yoga system. "Prana" means life-force, and "Yama" means restraint. In this rarely-offered workshop, we will explore how the prana affects the 72,000 nadis (nerve channels) that yogis believe run throughout the body. Pranayama helps clear these channels and calms the mind, preparing it for meditation. Balancing the prana also makes it easier for the practitioner to concentrate and perform their daily tasks.

Participants will learn safe breathing techniques that they can weave into their daily sitting practice as well as "special occasion" practices for healing. These practices are based on the teaching of Sri Dharma Mittra.

Participants should have a regular asana (posture) practice. A vegetarian diet is also strongly encouraged.

Sigh up here.

THURSDAY QUOTE



"Yoga is especially necessary at this point in time, when life appears especially confusing and filled with tension, stress and distractions. It helps one to slow down in life and re-align oneself with the harmony of the universe and find peace within. It will help diminish cravings and bad habits, and bring you a disease free body, a balanced mind, radiant health and long life. Yoga brings very special results. It is the door-opener to Intuitive Knowledge and Eternal Bliss."

Sri Yogi Gupta (Swami Kailashananda)
