• Introductions

• We begin with a look at the sutras that relate to the 3rd and 4th limbs of Patanjali’s 8-limbed path and how they can inform and aid our approach to the practice of meditation.

• To ensure everyone is prepared for the breath work, we will review the pranayama techniques which we will employ during the day: Ujjayi, Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Kumbhaka and Bandha.

• This is followed by an asana practice intended to prepare the nervous system for the journey into the deeper layers of the consciousness.

• Pranayama practice using the techniques reviewed.

• Savasana & Yoga Nidra to support the nervous system.

• Meditation to integrate the practices.

• Conclusions

This workshop is suitable for students with some basic knowledge of pranayama who are looking to deepen their understanding of the principles and practices involved. Great for practitioners and teachers who want to gain more experience in this aspect of yoga practice.
