You will discover how pranayama balances prana energy and clears mental and emotional stagnation. Our training addresses the physiology of the lungs and nervous system, revealing why breath is such an essential tool in a yoga teacher’s toolkit.
By the end of the module you will be able to apply these techniques inside your own classes and adapt them to different learners. Whether the goal is stress management, focus or vitality, pranayama enables you to lead students toward holistic transformation. This module builds a foundation of awareness and inner balance you can carry into any teaching context.
