For everyone, including Yoga teachers and health professionals
Learn simple, authentic, and effective yogic practices to relieve respiratory ailments, including allergies, asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). Not only can these practices reduce suffering, but also potentially save lives. In light of the recent Covid pandemic, we especially recognize the importance of healthy respiratory function. The teachings presented in this workshop can boost the immune system, improve overall respiratory health, and prevent and reverse many chronic diseases.
This online workshop is designed for Yoga therapists, Yoga teachers, and healthcare professionals and focuses on the importance of the therapeutic practice of specific pranayamas (breathing practice), bandhas (energy locks), mudras (energy seals), and mantras (sacred sounds) to address respiratory ailments. Use the strategies and skills learned in this course to design, implement, and evaluate individualized Yoga and holistic therapy protocols for various conditions.
The workshop includes lectures, an assessment of one’s breathing capacity, and practices to improve the same. We will work in small groups with an opportunity to measure and practice.
Live sessions with Prashant on Saturday 9:30–12:30 pm, 2–4:30 pm, and Sunday at 10–12:30 pm, 2–4 pm ET.
The live sessions will be recorded and the recordings are usually posted within one day for program participants to review. Recordings will be available for review for 8 weeks after the program ends, until February 6, 2022.
In addition, you will have access to Ashram’s Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.
This course is open to all. This workshop is ideal for Yoga Therapists, Yoga teachers, and healthcare professionals, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the subject.

Testimonials
At our office, we have monthly pulmonary support group meetings offering a variety of related health topics. At our monthly meeting in September, Prashant and Manju of Gurukul spoke to us about the history of Yoga, and cleared up any of the patient's misconceptions about Yoga. Breathing exercises for our patients were taught, focusing on their specific needs and demonstrated with clarity. With their encouragement, the patients enthusiastically participated. Many of the patients commented that it was one of the best groups they’ve attended at our facility. — James L. Gilanyi, RRT
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Prashant Joshi and Mrs. Manju Joshi for about 10 years. I have had the pleasure of taking Yoga classes with them. I feel that they are excellent teachers. — Thomas J. Nordstorm
I’ve been taking Yoga classes for the last five years and it has become such an important part of my life. My posture and balance are so much better as is my muscle tone and flexibility. Breathing and relaxation exercises have had a very positive effect and I find myself practicing them when things get stressful at work. I’m 60 years old, a cancer survivor and have never felt better. I only wish I had started classes 20 years ago! Manju and Prashant have been wonderful teachers and guides on this exciting journey. — Susan Caden
