  • Pranayama: Breath of Life
    SPECIAL SECTION: PRANAYAMA: BREATH OF LIFE P RANAYAMA : U NIQ U E G IFT OF THE Y O G IC T RADITION By Gary Kraftsow your asana and pranayama Gary Kraftsow asserts that pranayama is among the most uniquely potent parts of Yoga practice. He explains that there’s no other tradition that has the sophistication of the yogic science of breath. In this article, he eloquently explains the ways you can use pranayama to create the effects you want in your practice. He shows how your asana practice can serve your pranayama practice, your pranayama practice can serve your asana practice and both practices together can serve your meditation practice. The Three Stages of Life 1. Asana as preparation for pranayama: Our focus is not about the structural details of the asana—we are Most Yoga practitioners today are in what we would call preparing the body and breath for pranayama. In this the midday stage of life.

    Thriving in Healthcare: How pranayama, asana, and dyana can transform your practice Melissa Lea-Foster Rietz, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, RYT-200 Presbyterian Medical Services Farmington, NM [email protected] Professional Disclosure I have no personal or professional affiliation with any of the resources listed in this presentation, and will receive no monetary gain or professional advancement from this lecture. Talk Objectives Provide a VERY brief history of yoga Define three aspects of wellness: mental, physical, and social. Define pranayama, asana, and dyana. Discuss the current evidence demonstrating the impact of pranayama, asana, and dyana on mental, physical, and social wellness. Learn and practice three techniques of pranayama, asana, and dyana that can be used in the clinic setting with patients. Resources to encourage participation from patients and to enhance your own practice. Yoga as Medicine It is estimated that 21 million adults in the United States practice yoga. In the past 15 years the number of practitioners, of all ages, has doubled. It is thought that this increase is related to broader access, a growing body of research on the affects of the practice, and our understanding that ancient practices may hold the key to healing modern chronic diseases. Yoga: A VERY Brief History Yoga originated 5,000 or more years ago with the Indus Civilization Sanskrit is the language used in most Yogic scriptures and it is believed that the principles of the practice were transmitted by word of mouth for generations. Georg Feuerstien divides the history of Yoga into four catagories: Vedic Yoga: connected to ritual life, focus the inner mind in order to transcend the limitations of the ordinary mind Preclassical Yoga: Yogic texts, Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita Classical Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the eight fold path Postclassical Yoga: Creation of Hatha (willful/forceful) Yoga, incorporation of the body into the practice Modern Yoga Swami (master) Vivekananda speaks at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.

  • Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS
    Breath of Life Yoga and the Five Prana Vayus CONTENTS Prana Vayu: 4 The Breath of Vitality Apana Vayu: 9 The Anchoring Breath Samana Vayu: 14 The Breath of Balance Udana Vayu: 19 The Breath of Ascent Vyana Vayu: 24 The Breath of Integration By Sandra Anderson Yoga International senior editor Sandra Anderson is co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics and has taught yoga and meditation for over 25 years. Photography: Kathryn LeSoine, Model: Sandra Anderson; Wardrobe: Top by Zobha; Pant by Prana © 2011 Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy of the U.S.A. All rights reserved. Reproduction or use of editorial or pictorial content in any manner without written permission is prohibited. Introduction t its heart, hatha yoga is more than just flexibility or strength in postures; it is the management of prana, the vital life force that animates all levels of being. Prana enables the body to move and the mind to think. It is the intelligence that coordinates our senses, and the perceptible manifestation of our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana—and enhancing and directing its flow through the Apractices of hatha yoga—we can invigorate the body and mind, develop an expanded inner awareness, and open the door to higher states of consciousness. The yoga tradition describes five movements or functions of prana known as the vayus (literally “winds”)—prana vayu (not to be confused with the undivided master prana), apana vayu, samana vayu, udana vayu, and vyana vayu. These five vayus govern different areas of the body and different physical and subtle activities.

Can use spine-ways bolster too. Supt virasana, spine-ways bolster (or you could use other supports instead) Use these two to settle the body and mind and to ease into the breath Supported downward dog – here I’m showing the belt around doorhandle version if you don’t have ropes at home – head rested Uttanasana with head supported – legs wide for more space Prasarita padottanasana – I would usually do this with head released to floor or support (as uttanasana above) but if you have a suitable height table or support, with torso supported is divine for the back, and lovely if you’re on a period or feeling tired. See previous class plans for other versions of headstand – using chair support for example in week 4 – or leave out if not within your current practice Dwi pada viparita dandasana – towards top of head supported – curve over chair and use hands to tuck shoulders for chest and heart opening. Heels descending into support. I have shown a version of crossed bolsters in a previous class plan (week 4) if you have no chair. Setu bandha sarvangasana over chair – again, can be done simply as a supported chatushpadasana on a brick, with or without legs extended (see weeks 7 & 8) if you don’t have a chair Chair shoulderstand, also with baddhakonasana leg variation – or do a full shoulderstand and/or supported halasana as shown in previous weeks Paschimottanasana – lovely to have head supported for quietening Supported savasana for some supine breath awareness and pranayama – ujjayi and viloma perhaps? Use Light on Pranayama or your own practice.

  • Pranayama Redefined/ Breathing Less to Live More
    Pranayama Redefined: Breathing Less to Live More by Robin Rothenberg, C-IAYT Illustrations by Roy DeLeon ©Essential Yoga Therapy - 2017 ©Essential Yoga Therapy - 2017 REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS “When Prana moves, chitta moves. When prana is without movement, chitta is without movement. By this steadiness of prana, the yogi attains steadiness and should thus restrain the vayu (air).” Hatha Yoga Pradipika Swami Muktabodhananda Chapter 2, Verse 2, pg. 150 “As long as the vayu (air and prana) remains in the body, that is called life. Death is when it leaves the body. Therefore, retain vayu.” Hatha Yoga Pradipika Swami Muktabodhananda Chapter 2, Verse 3, pg. 153 ©Essential Yoga Therapy - 2017 “Pranayama is usually considered to be the practice of controlled inhalation and exhalation combined with retention. However, technically speaking, it is only retention. Inhalation/exhalation are methods of inducing retention. Retention is most important because is allows a longer period for assimilation of prana, just as it allows more time for the exchange of gases in the cells, i.e. oxygen and carbon dioxide.” Hatha Yoga Pradipika Swami Muktabodhananda Chapter 2, Verse 2, pg. 151 ©Essential Yoga Therapy - 2017 Yoga Breathing in the Modern Era • Focus tends to be on lengthening the inhale/exhale • Exhale to induce relaxation (PSNS activation) • Inhale to increase energy (SNS) • Big ujjayi - audible • Nose breathing is emphasized at least with inhale. Some traditions teach mouth breathing on exhale. • Focus on muscular action of chest, ribs, diaphragm, intercostals and abdominal muscles all used actively on inhale and exhale to create the ‘yoga breath.’ • Retention after inhale and exhale used cautiously and to amplify the effect of inhale and exhale • Emphasis with pranayama is on slowing the rate however no discussion on lowering volume.
