Dear friends, over the last fifteen years, I have significantly benefited from Pranayama and Meditation as imparted by my teacher. I would like to share this practice with those who are living in other places around the world and who cannot join our retreats in person. 

Based on my extended teachings, I have put together an online Pranayama-Meditation course that will begin this coming January, lasting for four weeks. We will meet online 3 times a week.

Note this is a live online course only, there will be no recordings. I would like to honour the tradition of teaching, where students sit with the teacher in person and are alert to those teachings– but we do this online. 

I will take a maximum of 8 participants so that we can easily communicate during our Q&A sessions and keep it personal. 

There is no Asana (physical postures) in this online course, we will have a short break for stretching the body.

In our sessions together, I will touch briefly on the roots of Pranayama in the history of Yoga, and I will explain why we choose to utilise the breath particularly in the way we practice. Simply said, Pranayama are Yogic breathing techniques. When performed accurately and with caution, it may have several physiological benefits. We will speak about such benefits during our course. However, in India, where such practices have their origins, Pranayama, besides moving and activating the energy within our bodies, is a training of focusing awareness and said to be the bridge between the physical practices and the work on the mind. Following the teaching tradition of Emil Wendel, beyond its merely physical benefits, we will be utilising the breath as a tool towards meditation and precious levels of stillness.
