Prana and the Lifeforce
This week and next we will be looking at the Fourth Path of Yoga … Pranayama – the control of the Lifeforce within us
I have chosen to concentrate two weeks to this Path as to my mind the work we do as individuals and in class with the breath is the most powerful. By using our breath correctly and in a controlled fashion we can make it our friend … and a friend who can change our mood and our way of thinking, being and living!
Prana in Sanskrit means “lifeforce” or “life energy” and yama means “control” or “discipline”
The mind, body and breath are inextricably linked and as such if we change one, the others will respond.
By slowing and lengthening our breath, our body calms and relaxes and our mind slows down and clears. Yoga and the breath helps us to clear our mind and calm our body and bring ultimate peace.
Yoga Classes This Week
As most of you know I will shortly be changing the 5.50pm class from Tuesdays to Thursdays and this will start on Thursday 6th April.
There are no classes at all during the week of 27th March 2017.
For the 7.30pm session, a new block of 3 sessions will run on Tuesdays 7th March, 14th March and 21st March. If you have not already booked this block of 3 then please transfer online or pay cash of £24.00. As always if you know at the time of paying that you cannot make a session please reduce your payment by £8.00. Drop-ins for these sessions will be £10.00
With effect from 6th April there is no 7.30pm general yoga class as I will be running the 8-week yoga course from this date.
