The Yoga of Body and Breath
The body and breath are two
parts of our human system, that are very deeply connected. The dynamics
of the two are inter-related, and it has been the pursuit of many yogis
to experience this and benefit from it. The influence of the breath on
the body, and that of the body on the breath is unquestionable. Through a
practical experience, participants will explore this amazing mechanism,
using Asana and Pranayama as tools in the journey.
The Yoga of Breath and Mind
It is also interesting to
observe the relationship between the breath and the mind. Ancient yogis
have studied this relationship in great detail and condensed their
experiences in a simple form for us to comprehend. Through the use of
Asana-s as a preparation for Pranayama and meditation, participants will
explore this subtle and powerful link between the breath and the mind.
