It probably helped you feel a little better—or maybe a lot better. Research shows that focusing on your breath is one of the most important things you can do to induce a relaxation response and improve health and mood. The breath also plays a key role in yoga practice and philosophy. Pranayama is refinement of the flow of breath and it’s the fourth of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga. It follows asana and is the gateway to the meditative limbs.Who this online course is for:Our Pranayama 101 online course is for new and experienced yoga students and teachers alike.
