| Pranayama
and Ashtanga Yoga Retreat:
- develop the breath practice
(Pranayama) -

The focus of these
programs is to build on to the asana practice a regular and well informed
practice of pranayama and meditation. Pranayama uses the breath
and the entire respiratory system to purify and strengthen the nerves
which leads to greater control of the senses and a subsequent calmer
and clearer mind, not just when sitting but throughout the day, when
practiced consistently for a long time. Here is the opportunity
to be introduced and grow through these techniques in a supportive environment.
Paul has practiced and been trained to a high level in these practices
under one of the few remaining authorities in pranayama, O.P. Tiwari.
Tiwariji has only taught the complete pranayama to Paul and one other
student.
The day will open
with pranayama and meditation followed by the ashtanga practice.
In the afternoon will be a workshop to further explain the practices
so better understanding can come followed by sessions on restorative
asanas and pranayama. In the evening after dinner will be a variety
of programs followed by meditation.
