Breath is the Practice: Advanced Study Intensive for Yoga Teachers
Explore the breath as a pathway into mindfulness, presence, and greater awareness through the body and nervous system in this 2.5-hour workshop designed for yoga teachers.
We’ll explore the foundations of pranayama, the anatomy and mechanics of breathing, and practical ways to bring breath awareness into your teaching. Learn pranayama techniques that support nervous system regulation, simple breathing practices to open and close class, and thoughtful ways to cue and integrate the breath throughout movement.
Teachers will leave with a clearer understanding of fundamental breath physiology, a selection of accessible pranayama and breath-awareness practices and techniques, and practical language for incorporating breath into asana. You’ll gain tools for using breath to support mindfulness and nervous system regulation, as well as greater confidence in choosing when and how to introduce breath practices throughout a yoga class.
Sara Basile, an advanced practitioner and local yoga teacher, will lead the workshop as a visiting instructor at Black Door Yoga. Learn more about Sara.
