‘Pranayama, Mantra and Yoga’

 

Location: Pelton Community Centre, Front St, Pelton, Chester-Le-Street, DH2 1DE 

 

The practices of pranayama are explored thoroughly, deepening and stabilising physical and mental control alongside rhythmic breath, ratio breathing. 

This class covers a more in-depth integration of energetic bhanda and mudra, traditional bastriki, kapalabhati, and nadi shodhana. These are fully practiced alongside a variety of other pranayama techniques. 

 The class is also great for those who wish for a better understanding of the correct application of mantra.

The course gives students an understanding of both the Sanskrit, understanding mantra enunciation and physical (tongue – mouth – breath ) alongside the more empathic heart – mind connection.

Our classes and asanas are adaptable to support access to most yoga poses and we offer a supportive and caring non-judgemental class environment. 


***We ask that all attendees leave the ego at the door, and to practise yoga mindfully and safely within their current range of ability. Yoga is after all about supporting and nurturing the mind and body, any tension created in the body affects and creates tension in the mind taking your practise away from yoga’s intension which is to find a sense of balance between them both.
