Description

Learn Advanced Yoga Meditation and Breathwork
with Expert Teacher Richard Freeman

Pranayama (literally “to release life energy from its bounds”) is considered the central practice that will lead you into the true promise of yoga: the experience of freedom itself. When performed correctly, this powerful form of conscious breathwork reveals the intricate web of your thoughts, physiology, and energetic patterns—helping you learn to quiet the mind, heighten receptivity, and open to what is referred to in yoga as “the intrinsic radiance of being.”

With Pranayama, Richard Freeman—who is widely considered one of the world’s foremost Western instructors of Ashtanga yoga—brings you a six-month online video training course in this long-guarded art.

Featuring a live 75-minute session with Richard once per month, plus plenty of lessons and practices to work on between classes, Pranayama brings you into the company of students everywhere as one of today’s most sought-after teachers discusses:

  • The history and essential principles of pranayama
  • Opening the internal channels of flow and awareness that allow the full spectrum of the breath to manifest
  • The mysterious power of pranayama to soothe and revitalize the body, mind, and spirit
  • How pranayama serves as a bridge between yoga’s active, outward practices (like asana) and yoga’s internal meditative or philosophical facets
  • Live demonstrations, including specific guidance in pranayama while seated or lying down
  • How pranayama awakens and strengthen your body’s natural intelligence
