Breathing
BREATHING PRACTICES
Breathing is one of the most essential and basic body activities. Breathing is simple, and yet it has become an issue for millions of people.
Most of us assume that because breathing is usually automatic, it is beyond our active control. But what we may not realize is that many physical and psychological problems can be better handled when we breathe properly by changing the rate, depth and quality of our breath.
Below you will find a selection of simple breathing techniques and exercises that will help you control your breath and take life at a calmer pace.

Cooling breath: Sitali Pranayam
5 - 2016
Sitali Pranayan is an ancient breathing practice that has a cooling effect on the body. Learn this practical technique to calm down heated emotions and periods of stress, or even after an intense workout.
Bhramari breath (Bee’s breath)
4 - 2015
The continuous buzzing sound of Bhramari breath brings me into a state of peace, calm and lightness like no other form of breath does. I practice it with my students when they have sinuses issues -ideal for the allergy season-, depression and symptoms of stress, such as anxiety and insomnia.
Yoga Nidra & Relaxation
Our guided meditations
Yoga Nidra, according to Swami Satyananda Saraswati, “…is a powerful technique in which to relax consciously…a systematic method of inducing physical, mental and emotional relaxation”.
Yoga Nidra has an amazing effect. We have seen hundreds of clients through the years suffering from all levels of stress finding relief with this simple guided meditation. Yoga Nidra feels safe, because all you have to do is follow the simple guidance of an experienced teacher, so you don’t have to worry about how to relax, or even learn how to meditate. After a few minutes the state of relaxation gradually settles in.
Listen to our guided meditations, below, to receive the gift of total relaxation any moment of your day.
With Love,
Montserrat and Emile
