The Three Part Breath is the first breath we learn in yoga and the basis for all Pranayama (breath regulation) practices in the yogic tradition.

I know - many of us have seen Lion's Breath and maybe even practiced it before and perhaps - we felt a bit silly doing it. That's okay - feel silly. Embrace the fun in this pranayama and release tension from the face, neck and jaw - helping release the throat as well!

Bhramari breath - or humming bee breath - is one of the most fun pranayama practices and one that can help clear the throat chakra and release tightness in the chest. I have often used this breath with children and they always love it so if you want to share this with someone - please do!

Con...

It can be challenging to transition from work day to home life - from stressors to others energy to not taking a good breath all day! In this 10 minute meditation we work with all of those things to help you release the day and prepare for your home/personal life with ease.

This is a great breath for Yin and Restorative yoga practices - helping our bodies go into the parasympathetic nervous system for some rest ...

Vishama vritti pranayama is extending either the inhale or the exhale longer than the opposite. In this practice we will be extending the inhale to brighten, energize and bring more clarity to our thoughts. An excellent mid day perk up and a great way to deepen your breath for more oxygenation.

The lungs are much larger than we often explore in our daily breath. Often we breathe into just one side or the other more or we breathe into the center of the chest and not the side body.

In this practice we will explore compartments of the breath, focusing on areas one at a time then altogeth...

Today's pranayama practice is all about bringing balance to your body, mind and energy levels. Every 90 minutes we cycle between each side of our bodies - at times being on the sun or right side and other times on the moon or left side. We breath predominantly through that side during these cyc...
