Our primary focus will be on Pranayama\, the yogic science of breath\, as a means to clear energetic blockages and restore the natural flow of this dynamic life force. When awakened\, Shakti supports healing\, builds resilience\, and strengthens mental focus.\nPart One introduces foundational breathing techniques\, practiced gently and safely to soothe the nervous system and uplift the mind.\nPart Two deepens the experience with more advanced techniques\, including bandhas (energy locks) and breath retention\, to amplify the benefits and cultivate the inner clarity needed to awaken higher states of awareness.\nWe invite you to sign up for both or just one of the workshops.\nThis workshop will be recorded for later viewing and shared for 2 weeks with all enrolled students. Yoga Alliance CEUs available upon request.\nPart 2  – Thursday\, September 18\, 6:00 – 7:30pm | Online and In-person\n\nSwami Ramananda\, C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500\, is the Executive Director of the Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco\, C-IAYT\, and a greatly respected senior teacher in the Integral Yoga tradition who has been practicing Yoga for over 45 years.
