Breath sustains us every bit as much as food and water. It keeps our bodies well, our minds clear, and can help us calm. Yet, most of us don’t know how to breathe properly. In this class you will experience how to use Kundalini Yoga breathing techniques to reduce stress and increase your vitality. Kundalini Yoga offers a holistic technology that can be used by people of any belief and from all walks of life. We will examine elements of stress and understand their subtle effects on daily life. Learn how you can optimize breath using a variety of breathing patterns. Find out how you might incorporate mudras (hand positions) and mantras (sounds) to enhance your breath. You’ll have time to practice in class so that you can leave with a toolbox of breathing techniques that work best for you. Nancy Graves is a Certified Instructor of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation.
