Week One Practice

There is not so much technique this week, it is more foundational and preparing the ground. Bringing us to calm and balance so that we can start to work with prana.
 
It’s essential for pranayama to have a free breath. Not being tense around the stomach, which happens with stress. We work on this.
 
We use a double length exhale as this stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system - the calming part of the nervous system.
