Description
Presented by Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani
International Centre for Yoga Education and Research at Ananda Ashram, Pondicherry, India.
This presentation is a boon for patients of various breathing disorders such as Bronchial Asthma, Emphysema and Bronchitis. It offers an integrated approach of Yoga practices designed to eradicate the root cause of their suffering. The core of this presentation is an excellent depiction of the Hathenas, a unique set of Hatha Yoga practices from the Gitananda Yoga Tradition. These Forcing Techniques help us to breathe consciously into different areas of our lungs by means of physical posturing coupled with deep and controlled breathing. The Hathenas develop strong, healthy, and robust lungs and help expand our lung capacity while developing efficient and healthy breathing patterns. Important Pranayamas and Yogic relaxation are also introduced as most modern disorders have a strong psychosomatic, stress-related origin. These practices will add a new dimension to your present practice of Yoga.
