Pranayama: Beyond the Breath

from On the Mat · host Leah Oren

In this episode, we turn our attention to the fourth limb of yoga: Prānāyāma. Commonly translated as “breathwork,” Prānāyāma extends far beyond the physical act of breathing; rather it is the conscious regulation of prana, the life force energy that sustains us. Together, we’ll explore the deeper meaning behind this ancient practice, its roots in the Yoga Sutras, and the five categories of pranayama techniques that help us balance, energize, and calm both body and mind.Join me as we discover how conscious breathing can transform energy, still the mind, and deepen your connection to self!Follow Leah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onthematwithleahJoin the On the Mat Studio with a 5 Day Free Trial! https://onthemat.mykajabi.com
