Restoring Prana 9-week series Jan 10 - March 14 (No class on 2/14)
Tuesdays 7:15-8:30 pm CT Hybrid (online & in-person)
$255 including the Svadhyaya Breath Journal by Robin Rothenberg.
Our health and well-being are dependent on our Prana, our vital life force (Qi). The way we live can support our vitality or deplete it. The way we breathe affects everything - our mind & mental health, our body & physical health, our energy & vitality, and our ability to connect to our source/spirit/wisdom. We live in a very externally focused society that awards overachievement, being busy & over-scheduled but not self-care. We are asked to conserve energy but not within ourselves. Contrary to societal beliefs, we do not have an unlimited supply of prana (vital life force) so it is helpful to think about it like a bank account - you cannot use more than you have.
In this class series you will learn about your breath patterns, how to breathe more efficiently, and strategies for restoring your prana. Learn ancient yoga practices and the science & research behind them. Much of the yoga that is taught in the US has been Westernized & super-sized, which can stress our systems. Learn how to condition yourself for efficiency and vitality. Each class is tailored to each participant. You will receive audios and videos to practice between classes.
This work is based on Robin Rothenberg’s book “Restoring Your Prana”, which includes extensive breath science and research. The course fee includes Restoring Prana Svadhyaya Breath Journal by Robin Rothenberg (retail $30). In this 9-Class Series you will:
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.
Increase your awareness of your Energy Bank Account that directly affects your prana and health.
Learn gentle SomaYoga (Somatics & yoga practices) movement, and practices to support your prana.

Learn how to breathe while exercising to support your prana vs deplete it.
