Yoga, Breathe and Balance

This class combines breath work with traditional yoga poses for peace of mind and increased flexibility. You will learn the benefits of how to use breathing for cleansing, detoxifying, strengthening, purifying, toning, and refreshing. You can do these exercises on the floor or on a chair. Prāṇāyāma is the practice of breath control in yoga. It consists of synchronizing the breath with movements between asanas (a sitting meditation pose) but is also a distinct breathing exercise on its own, usually practiced after asanas. Research shows that Prāṇāyāma can:

• Reduce Distress
• Improve Sleep Quality
• Increase Mindfulness
• Reduce High Blood Pressure
• Improve Lung Function
• Enhance Cognitive Function
