Pranayama classes can be very useful, especially in this day and age when so much of our attention and mental energy is required just to get through the day. Pranayama classes are the equivalent of turning your phone off and turning it back on again when it’s not working properly. They give us a chance to reset. In pranayama sessions, even when performing the more active poses, such as Sirsasana or Adho Mukha Svanasana, remember: the goal is to let go, to find your neutral space, both in stasis and in motion.
We will begin this session in Supta Baddha Konasana, paying attention to opening up the chest. As you do this, visualise an open window: you do not have to force or jam more air in; all you have to do is let go and let it in. Keep this mindset throughout the practice. This session is about flowing, letting go, remaining neutral.
