This course includes
The instructors
Overview:
Pranayama has often been taught in ways that emphasize big breathing with extended exhales and expansive inhales.
However, the ancient yogis knew the secret of increasing oxygenation lay in breathing light and breathing less. Learning to manipulate the blood gases through proper breath control as the yogis originally taught is the essence of pranayama.
Learning Objectives
In this online course, you will learn:
- How over-breathing depletes the body of valuable CO2
- The role of CO2 in oxygenation, pH balance, and parasympathetic activation of the nervous system
- How breathing less and increasing breath holds can rebalance your bio-chemistry
- Practices that will increase O2 levels substantially, boosting vital function of the organs, the immune system, and brain function
**This session was recorded at the Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic Yoga (MISTY) in March of 2019
