All four courses are open to those who have received Transmission
from Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and have already taken a course in Yantra Yoga

First And Second Series Pranayama Workshop

May 18-20, 2012

Complete breathing is the foundation for the practice of Yantra Yoga and any Pranayama methods as well as indispensable for developing presence and relaxation in daily life. We will begin with complete breathing and integrate this awareness into the Pranayama of the Four Characteristic Conditions and the Four Profound Applications in order to deeper our understanding and training in Kumbhaka. We will also work with the Yantras and their modifications to develop experience of the four kinds of holds. This course is for those who have received Transmission from the Master and have taken a previous course.

Friday May 18, 7-9pm
