Pranayama
with Pat Sperry
Pranayama is the extraction and absorption of universal life energy through inhalation, exhalation, and retention. All pranayama practices begin with and return to relaxation and a thoughtful breathing pattern that is finely tuned and compassionate in its approach. Explore the art of yogic breathing with gradual, clear and detailed instruction. These classes will include both meditative guidance, technical instruction and informative feedback.
“Breath is the king of the mind.”
— BKS Iyengar
The ancient text of yoga, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, says simply, “Breath is the key to ultimate emancipation.” BKS Iyengar states that the three stages of breath in pranayama — inhalation, retention and exhalation — are the means by which we can abide in stillness in both body and mind and merge with the great mystery.
