Restoring Prana 6-week series
Tuesdays 7:15-8:30 pm CST Hybrid (online & in-person)
Do you feel like you use more energy than you regenerate? We live in a very externally focused society that awards overachievement, being busy & over-scheduled but not self-care. We are taught energy conservation but not within ourselves.
We do not have an unlimited supply of prana (vital life force) so it can be helpful to think about it like a bank account – you cannot use more than you have. The way we live can support our vitality or become depleted, which affects our health and well-being.
Learn about your breath patterns, how to breathe more efficiently, and strategies for refilling your prana bank account. This class series will include gentle somatic (SomaYoga) movement, pranayama (breath) practices, and meditation & mindfulness.
We will create strategies to integrate these practices into our lives. After each class, you will receive audio and videos to support your home practices. This work is based on Robin Rothenberg’s book “Restoring Your Prana”, which includes extensive breath science research. Ann is a certified Restoring Prana Teacher and Certified SomaYoga Therapist.
You do not need a book to attend this series. No prior experience is necessary.
Learn how to breathe more efficiently to improve your health & well-being and overall vitality.
Learn that low (diaphragmatic breathing), slow, gentle breathing oxygenates us more than taking big breaths.
