The yogic science of pranayama, or breath control, is a powerful key to a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. Experience techniques that can energize, detoxify, rejuvenate, and relax the body, while bringing balance, focus, and calm to the mind. Learn how the dormant subtle energy within can be awakened, leading to profound spiritual awareness. All this is possible simply by working with the breath.

We will explore pranayama theory and techniques, and learn how to deepen and develop an ongoing practice. 

Topics include:

• Pranayama and health
• Pranic healing visualization
• Prana (energy) and the mind
• Pranayama and meditation 
• Prana and the subtle body
• Pranayama and spiritual awakening 

These ancient, classical teachings enhance our physical and mental wellbeing, equip us to skillfully deal with life’s challenges, and enable us to realize our highest potential. Immerse yourself for a weekend and emerge with a practice that will sustain you for years to come.

Live sessions with Swami Karunananda on Saturday and Sunday at 11 am–1 pm and 3–5 pm ET.

Testimonials

The integration of theory and practice and the balance set was bizarrely perfect. Swami Karunananda was absorbing, extraordinarily attentive, and a joy to listen to and practice with. — Nina

My life has changed from doing a pranayama workshop with Swami Karunananda. I cannot thank her enough. I have never missed a day and have had so many healing benefits since. I have transformed. — Barbara “Prema” Brown

One of the best designed courses and delivered with clear attention to details. Teacher is a yogi herself with around 40 years of experience. All the questions were answered to satisfaction. — Pavankumar

What a privilege to be taught by Swami Karunananda. Her depth of experience and clear teachings finally got me the understanding of pranayama that I have not been able to find in a long search. She is a master able to teach beginners at a level we can understand. I can do my practice now knowing I am doing it properly. — Atma Devi
