Join Wendy for a 30-hour inner retreat where she will share the nature of Prana and how this very simple act of breathing has profound effects on our health and well-being. This unique training will combine modern day science of breathing with ancient Pranayama practices.
Breathwork is the modern-day term for Pranayama. Pranayama in traditional terms is the practice of expanding, purifying, and containing our Prana. Yogis use Pranayama as an anchor for the mind to be in the present moment, which helps tremendously with our modern-day businesses and stress. When we are able to relax, let go of our habitual stress patterns and turn our mind towards our breath, we can down regulate our nervous system and help with our own mental health hygiene. But becoming a functional breather before starting any Pranayama practice is key. We may all think we are breathing correctly but actually the majority of us are not and our health is at risk.
If you are a yogi, teacher, athlete or a couch potato, it is essential to learn how to breathe in a functional way that supports your health and well-being. The primary function of breathing is to oxygenate our cells. All of our bodies’ systems need oxygen in order to thrive but if we’re not breathing correctly, we may actually be starving our body of oxygen rather than feeding it. The key to change our breathing habits is to start observing how we breathe, on and off the mat and to notice how our breath affects everything we do. Through daily practice and self-observation, we can slowly shift our breathing patterns to the way nature intended us to breathe. Then we can start to practice Pranayama from a more balanced starting point.
In this science-based training, Wendy weaves together respiratory science, functional breathing, functional movement and yoga philosophy to help students restore their health and regain their own breathing power. This training will have lecture, practice and home study components.
