Pranayama is the yogic science of breathing. In many eastern spiritual traditions breathing is considered the link between mind, body and spirit. Yoga utilizes these ancient breathing techniques to enhance the effects of yoga postures and to deepen seated meditation.

The guided pranayama experience on this CD is designed for beginner level students. Instructional tracks that guide you through each pranayama are included, as well as guidance on proper seated positions. Instruction in all the led breathing exercises is included in written form.

Tracks 1-5 lead you in a 31 minute pranayama experience suitable for daily practice. Each pranayama in this experience is on a separate track, and you may skip tracks to create a shorter practice session. The CD ends with a guided yoga experience emphasizing yogic breathing.

The guided experience on this CD is designed for intermediate level yoga students. As an experienced student we assume you have some familiarity with the basic pranayamas: Ujjayi (Ocean Sounding breath), Dirgha (3-part breath) and Kapalabhati.

Instruction in these breathing exercises is included in written form. You may wish to read them to refresh your memory, or to look for differences between the Kripalu approach and any other style of yoga where you may have learned them. The CD contains an instructional track teaching Bhastika pranayama. Instruction in Parvatasana pranayama is integrated into the guided pranayama experience.

Tracks 1-8 lead you in a 43 minute pranayama experience suitable for daily practice. Each pranayama in this experience is on a separate track, and you may skip tracks to create a shorter practice session. The CD ends with a 22 minute guided yoga posture flow experience emphasizing yogic breathing.

This class is led with a balance of stretching and strengthening and has an internal focus. Pranayamas, including Kapalabhati, are used and warm-ups and kriyas are followed by postures. Postures may be led with long holdings and a focus on deep breathing. This class is appropriate for students who have learned the basic postures and are comfortable doing them with their eyes closed. Participation in this class will be safe if the student can listen to her body and both make adjustments to go deeper into the stretches, and back off or come out of postures if there is strain. This class forms a base that Yoganand uses in many of the 500-hour training programs.
