"Your Friend, The Breath" Series - What is it?

  • Learn how to move your body in complete coordination with your breath; this is called "breath-centric movement". You'll discover that this method cultivates a level of focus and attention that is not often taught in most styles of yoga.
  • Through this orientation around the breath you will help your body reduce areas of constant gripping and gain insight on areas needing to gain tonicity. Your breath will be your friend, guide and teacher in this personal development process.
  • You will explore how to work with your structure, your energy, your mind and your breath. You'll learn how simple and uncomplicated yoga postures actually can teach you about the breath. You'll also experience how certain breath ratios help you manage your energy.
