Pranayama weekend with Mayavan; $55
Pranayama class: October 3rd and 4th, Saturday and Sunday 7-8am (online)
Workshop: October 3rd, Saturday, 4 pm-6 pm (at the center or online)
Classes are suitable for beginners, as well as students who would like to return to a steady pranayama practice.
Morning Pranayama classes will begin with gentle stretches and simple movements to help release tension and prepare the body for sitting. We will then do gradual pranayama practice.
We will explore:
- Anuloma Viloma / Nadi Shuddhi – alternate nostril breathing for balance and steadiness
- Bhramari – humming breath to calm the mind
- Ujjayi – to increase awareness of the breath and for inner focus
- Introduction to Kapalabhati – introduced gently and in a beginner-friendly way
We will also introduce simple mudras (hand gestures) and explain how they can support concentration and stillness.
Why practise pranayama?
Pranayama is the yogic practice of working with the breath and prana, or life energy. Regular practice can help steady the mind, improve focus, balance energy, and prepare us for meditation.
Workshop will include:
- individual corrections and guidance
- time for questions and discussion
- practical tips for home practice
- support in developing a simple personal routine
Handouts will be shared before the class. They will include the practices we will cover, their traditional benefits, and suggestions on how to prepare.
Teacher: Mayavan is a Sivananda Yoga teacher and director of Yoga Salai, a community-based yoga center in Scarborough. He holds a Master’s in Yoga Therapy from Annamalai University, India, where he serves as a faculty member. Mayavan has been practicing and teaching Yoga since childhood.
