Breathwork and Meditation Classes
....are classes half dedicated to breathwork (pranayama) exercises and half dedicated to a guided meditation. Students will be led through breathwork techniques step by step and then encouraged to do several sequences of breathwork. Practicing breathwork before meditating has a calming effect on both the mind an the body and makes the following meditation easier to sink into and more fruitful. You will emerge from these videos relaxed and refreshed. Some stuednts choose to follow Breathwork and Meditation videos with a yoga video of their choice, finding that the first prepares them very well for the latter. Enjoy your practice!

The 6th Chakra, Ajna, is the place of insight and intuition. The gift of seeing inside and outside of ourselves is the essence of the 6th Chakra. In this class we will focus on our internal experience while we are moving and flowing our bodies in simple sequences and postures. We will mix breathwork and meditation with yoga postures to enhance your experience of truly connecting with yourself! Meditation while focusing deeply upon your 3rd eye (the space between the eyebrows and up about an inch) is a deeply peaceful and moving experience.

#0929 Breathwork and Meditation, 35 minute
How well do breathwork exercises prepare me for a seated meditataion period? This 35 minute class is a mixture of Breathwork and Meditation. We begin with a brief meditation and end with one as well. The middle body of the class is comprised of several pranayama exercises: Kabalabati breathing, Uddiyana Bonda, and several rounds of Alternate Nostril Kabalabati Breathing. The purpose of placing periods of meditation at the beginning and end of this class is to powerfully dramatize for you the effect that deep breathing has on your mind and to emphasize how it calms your physical body naturally and gently. This is a great class! Clothing for this video provided by BePresent. We love you Be Present--both your yoga clothes and your yoga spirit!! Thank you!!! www.bepresent.com Namaste! . . .

"I have been a long-time (about 40 years) student of yoga and...Tiffany has a true banquet of classes. She has that wonderful style of being able to know just when to tell you to relax your head, or neck or mind! I'm 61 and find her beginning videos the best for me and have been a lifeline! With so much upheaval these days it is such a treat to be able to 'go to the mat' with Tiff. ; )"
