Ep20 | Breath of Awareness: Unveiling Pranayama on the Yoga Path

Hosts Heidi and Farin have delved into the Yamas and the Niyamas, the ethical and moral principles forming the bedrock of their yoga journey; now they’re onto the fourth limb of Pantajali’s 8-Limbed Path: Pranayama.  The hosts discuss the significance of harnessing breath to connect with Prana, the life force within us. They highlight the benefits of cultivating mindfulness and finding balance in the energetic system, and explore pranayama as a means of attaining higher states of awareness. They touch on breath retention and its potential anxiety-inducing nature, reassuring listeners that it can be a natural, beneficial practice when approached mindfully.
