Prāṇa - lifeforce and yoga

Description of Class

A lot of what we do in a yoga practice involves the cultivation and manipulation of prāṇa / lifeforce. We will explore prāṇa in depth - what is it?, can we feel it?, can we utilise it?, does awareness of prāṇa lead to integration? Khadine will skillfully lead you through yoga posture work with a focus on breath awareness and trust in the breath through direct experience and traditional teachings. She will include guided breath-based practices and mediation and you'll also get a guided yoga nidrā (reclined deep meditation-type practice). Suitable for all levels from beginners to very experienced as practices will be adapted accordingly. This workshop will include āsana, prāṇāyāmas, meditation and yoga nidrā. Your tutor Khadine has been practising yoga and meditation since the mid 90s, teaching since 2004 and training yoga teachers since 2014. She is a senior registered teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals and holds a masters degree (with distinction!) in Yoga and Meditation Traditions. Her classes are deep, kind and fun and her passion for the whole tradition of yoga make her classes inspiring, uplifting and transformative. Khadine teaches Vajrasati yoga which is underpinned by the qualities of inclusivity, inquiry and authenticity. Her classes are known for being intuitive, creative and innovative, using our own deep understanding of ourselves to experience yoga through the most intimate and spacious relationships simultaneously. Khadine has a particular interest in consciousness and the states of consciousness we experience, and she taps into this inquiry as a yoganidra facilitator and teacher trainer, using her extensive experience in this field to guide students into deep states of relaxation and clear awareness.
