Learn The Yoga Pranayamas of Mysore India
and Breathe to Awaken
‘Prāṇāyāma’ – is the art and science of expanding one’s life-force energy. These 3 ancient breath practices from Mysore India have previously only been taught directly from teacher to student.
The experience of a regular practice of pranayama builds deep physical strength and calm, while opening the door to an understanding oneself and energy in a way that few practices can.
Course Content
The Body
Learn exactly how to position your hips, spine, head and chest for breathing freedom. You will learn how to perform the hand mudras and safely enter classic poses for pranayama as well as the internal locks, or ‘bandha’.

The Breath Practice
Vishama Vritti
The first pranayama you will learn and practice is called Vishama Vritti and it means “the unequal ratio”. It gives you the opportunity to understand the differences in your energy that flows from the nostrils to the tailbone on either side of your spine.
Nadi Shodana
In the second week you will focus on Nadi Shodana which means “the purification of the energy channels”. This is a harmonizing, balancing pranayama that will take you deeper.
Shakti Chalana
When you are ready, you can move on to this advanced level pranayama called Shakti Chalana or “the stirring of the shakti energy”. This is unique to the Mysore pranayamas and does not appear in other places.
The Upasana
For the adventurous, committed practitioner you may consider taking on an advanced 48 day practice which will reveal to you the secrets of your mind, energy and life itself.
“Excellent course – practiced everyday for 30 days – the results are exciting for me – a lot more motivation and aliveness , but also a calmness, the world is slightly brighter and I feel really awake. This is now part of my everyday practice. Highly recommend – but like anything you have to commit to it and practice daily” – Stuart Picton

Breathing is our birthright, and changing your relationship with breath can make it easier to be more of the person you want to be, when you need to be. Over centuries and longer, different approaches to understanding and working with breath have emerged. I’ve studied those disciplines for decades, and integrated them into the work I do with BreathYoga. I’m the founder of two yoga schools and have worked with thousands of people, teaching the art and science of body, mind and spirit.
