What is Pranayama?
Pranayama is more than just a breathing exercise; it is a sacred art that connects the body, mind, and spirit. By harnessing the breath, practitioners can tap into a source of vitality and inner peace.
How Does Pranayama Affect the Nervous System?
Through the practice of Pranayama, we can regulate our nervous systems, promoting a state of calm and balance. By engaging in specific breathing techniques or Pranayamas, we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to relaxation and stress relief.
What are the Longevity Benefits of Pranayama?
Studies have shown that regular practice of Pranayama can have a positive impact on longevity. By optimizing the breath, practitioners can enhance oxygen flow throughout the body, supporting overall health and vitality.
How Can Pranayama Help with Anxiety and Depression?
Pranayama offers a natural and effective way to manage anxiety and depression. By focusing on the breath, individuals can quiet the mind, reduce stress levels, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity.
Why Science Supports the Benefits of Pranayama?
Scientific research has validated the numerous benefits of Pranayama on both physical and mental well-being. From improving lung function to enhancing cognitive function, the evidence is clear.
Anyone can practice Pranayama who has done at least a term in our classes. Asanas that are taught in class prepare the nervous system, and the physical body to practice Pranayama. By embracing Pranayama with an open heart and a curious mind, and practising regularly, it can have a profound impact on our overall well-being.
The workshop is from 3.00-5.00pm this Saturday. Use this link to book your place.
