The Sanskrit word pranayama means "to release life energy from
its bounds." When practiced correctly, this powerful form of yogic
breathwork has the ability to reveal the intricate web of your
thoughts, physiology, and energetic patterns -- to quiet your mind
and heighten receptivity -- and to open you to "the intrinsic
radiance of Being."
On Yoga Breathing, Richard Freeman, director of the Yoga
Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, invites you to learn the essential
principles and techniques of pranayama, including:
- How to identify and observe your "internal breath"
- Dristi gazing/breathwork to tap into your body's central
energetic axis
- Ujjayi breathing to free prana (your life energy)
- "The tree of breath" practice
- Specific guidance for lying and seated pranayama, and much
more
Every breath you take, teaches Freeman, can serve as a guiding
thread into the depths of yoga -- a place of freedom and immediacy
of awareness that begins on the practice mat and gradually extends
into each moment of your life. Yoga Breathing distills the secrets
of this essential inner work into two complete home practice
sessions designed to guide you, breath by breath, to greater
vitality and health.
