The Power of the Breath ~ A Kundalini Yoga and Pranayama Journey
A Day Immersion for Yoga Teachers and Interested Students
September 13, 2026
Part of the Yoga of Energy Flow 300-Hour Teacher Training, this session is open to the public and offers yoga teachers and interested students a chance to explore the power of the breath — balancing experiential practice with an exploration of breath and breathwork’s role in the health of body, mind, and spirit.
Breath is life and life is breath — master it, and you master everything.
Awaken the inner body of light, the pranamayakosha, and expand your life force through breathing exercises and inner energy practices. Drawing mostly from Kundalini Yoga, but from classical pranayama sequences as well, this practice bathes your cells and brain in fresh oxygen while opening the body’s energetic pathways.
You’ll learn to enhance, extend, and harness the power of the breath through pranayama, then channel this heightened pranic energy using bandhas (inner locks) and mudras (ways to enhance mental focus, which can include hand gestures). If your yoga practice so far has been mostly about stretching, this workshop will deepen your relationship with the radiant body — the subtle body connected to your breath. The power of the breath will support your life as nothing else can.
Beginners and advanced students alike will come away with practical tips for a home practice, along with handouts and resources to ground the experience in daily life. When the inner fire is ignited, self-healing and self-realization follow naturally.
We will explore:
• The anatomy of respiration, physically, energetically, and spiritually.
• The major classical pranayama exercises; breaths that heat, balance, cool, and illuminate.
• The role and effects of internal and external breath retentions (Kumbakas)
• How to free the breath with stretches for the lung and large intestine meridians
• Kundalini Yoga Kriyas, which combine a strong pranayama practice with movements,
asanas, deep relaxation and chanting meditations
• Chanting meditation in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga
• Celestial Communication, where mantras are combined with movements and mudras in a seated creative dance, bringing relaxation to the entire nervous system.
You will learn these powerful breath practices and meditations and more:
• Circle of Fire, a pranayama sequence that improves the flow of energy in the lower chakras, improves digestive fire, and brings light to ones being.
• Sodarshan Chakra Kriya, believed by some to be the most powerful pranayama practice and highest kriya across the many schools and styles of yoga.
• Sat Kriya, one of the most powerful and complete postures/kriyas in Kundalini Yoga. It has been called an “entire Yoga class in one posture”.
For yoga teachers, this immersion is available for CEUs and will provide new materials and insights to bring into yoga classes.
Cost: $150 or $75 for the morning session only.
Morning Session: 9:00 am -12:30 pm
