Mayavan<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>October 3rd, Saturday 4pm-6pm; $38 (at the centre or online)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This workshop is part of our Pranayama Weekend and can be taken individually or as part of the full package, which also includes the online morning practice sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This workshop offers an opportunity to deepen your pranayama practice with individual guidance and corrections. Pranayama can support steadiness of mind, balance of energy, concentration, and a deeper connection to the inner practice of yoga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Often, students learn the techniques but rush through the process or miss important details, which can reduce the benefits of the practice. In this workshop, we will slow down and explore techniques such as Kapalabhati, Anuloma Viloma, Bhramari, and Ujjayi with more care and attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We will also discuss how to choose the right pranayama for different situations. While a regular practice may include the traditional foundational techniques, at times we may need a different approach depending on the state of our mind and energy, the demands of the day, or the particular stage and circumstances of life.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will include time for questions, discussion, practical tips for home practice, and support in developing a simple personal routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teacher: Mayavan<\/strong> has been a dedicated yoga practitioner since childhood. He holds a Master&#8217;s degree in yoga therapy and is the director of Yoga Salai, a community-based yoga center in Scarborough.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div

style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>October 5th &#8211; 9th, 6am-7am, $55 (online)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Begin your week with a five-day guided pranayama course ideal for morning practice. These classes will help you feel more alert, focused, and calm before work or school. Practicing in the morning is aligned with the natural rhythm of the body, and helps regulate stress and supports mental clarity throughout the day.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Each class begins and ends with a short relaxation practice and includes gentle warm-ups to prepare the body for breathing exercises in a sitting position. You will practice foundational techniques such as Anuloma Viloma (alternate nostril breathing) and Kapalabhati (cleansing breath). These techniques improve oxygen flow, calm the nervous system, and balance your energy (prana).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0With regular use, these tools will help you feel steadier, more present, and better equipped to meet the demands of daily life. This course builds a strong base for continued personal practice.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Here are some of the benefits of pranayama:<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n-Optimal gas exchange (O2 and CO2)<br \/>\n-Oxygenation of tissues thanks to breath retention<br \/>\n-Harmonization of metabolic rates and chemical balance of the body<br \/>\n-Clearness of mind and stimulation of the parasympathetic system<br \/>\n-Improvement of digestion and fortification of the immune system<\/p>\n<p>In order to benefit from this program, it is important to participate in all 5 sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teacher: Mayavan<\/strong> has been a dedicated yoga practitioner since childhood.
