Introduction to Yogic Pranayama
Cost: $150 for 4 sessions / Early bird: $135 through 2/14
(no individual session)
Changing how you breathe can change how you feel, think, and sleep. Pranayama, breathing practices, provides us with techniques to calm anxiety, sharpen focus, and restore balance to the nervous system. The yogic texts outline surprisingly accessible and impactful ways to control the breath to give you the ability to regulate the body while clearing and focusing the mind.
Over four 90 minute classes, we will cover the pranayama techniques outlined in The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, one of the most influential yogic texts. Each week will be cumulative, allowing you to integrate and understand each step in building a sustainable, personal practice.
Chase Connolly
Chase has been practicing yoga since childhood and teaching yoga for over 14 years. Introduced to yoga at age 8 by his grandmother, he started studying it seriously in high school and completed his first teacher training soon after. Practicing everything from Hatha, to Power Yoga to Vinyasa, it wasn’t until he found Katonah Yoga, after injuries and dissatisfaction, that his love for yoga was revived and gained new meaning. Chase’s teaching is informed by his background in anatomy, his study of herbalism and his love of plants and gardening. He strives to utilize the physical practice as a container to embark on the exploration of universal concepts, encouraging each student to create a narrative of self cultivation, turning oneself into a diverse ecosystem of ideas and curiosities to further the exploration of the interior landscape.
