14-day Pranayama Intensive (online), May 4-17, 2020

Vishnu Mudra

I am pleased to announce the next Pranayama intensive. In this program, we will be practicing some of the main pranayama techniques given in our ancient yoga texts. I will also discuss the underlying concepts in the practice of pranayama and all the wonderful benefits that the practice can bring us.

In view of the current situation with the COVID-19 virus, I will be offering this class via live video streaming.

We are going through difficult times. With school closings, most of us working from home, no access to theaters, social and cultural events, restaurants, bars etc., life can become quite stressful. Practice of pranayama is known to provide us with a sense of well-being both at physical and mental levels even in trying circumstances. One of the known benefits of pranayama is to build a stronger immune system, something that we can use in the present situation.

A brief outline of what I plan to cover in the course is given in this document (pdf format) in my dropbox folder.

No prior yoga (asana, pranayama or meditation) experience is required.

Here is what the previous participants have to say…

“A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! … learned more than I ever expected, and was actually sad when the intensive ended. Wonderful to learn so much new about myself at this age. Pranayama (breath work) is an extraordinarily powerful practice in it’s own right. Subhash pronounced at the start that I would have more energy everyday. And did I ever !!! What a revelation.”
