Breathwork and Pranayama

The classical breath practices, taught in a safe order with clear contraindications.

Breathwork and Pranayama
Breath practice is powerful and often taught carelessly. This course goes in the traditional order — first learn to breathe well, then lengthen, then ratio, then retain — and says plainly who should skip what. By the end you will have a ten-minute daily practice and know which technique to reach for when.
