Frequently asked questions
What can I expect during a Pranayama Two-Stage Breath class?
Class is approximately 45-55 minutes long. Each person has their own space and lays on a yoga mat or blanket. There is a short five-minute introduction explaining how to do the active breath technique. The active breathing runs between 20-25 minutes long. It is accompanied by positive, upbeat music played at a loud volume. The reason for this is it helps people feel more comfortable if they have emotions coming up and it also helps drown out any thoughts the mind may conjure up during the session. At the end of the active breathing portion there is a rest period for 10-15 minutes in which the breathing returns to normal. Softer music is played and occasionally participants are guided through a process. Can I do this on my own and how long should I do the breathing? Absolutly, just make sure it is in a comfortable controlled environment. There is no definitive answer for the length of time. In my own practice I typically don't go over an hour. In the group classes, we engage in active breathing for about 20-25 minutes and follow it up with 10-15 minutes of restful breathing. Start simple. Find a 5-10 minute music track (or tracks) and then add about 3 minutes of rest afterward. That’s only 10 minutes! It's something you can incorporate on a daily bases or if you want to do longer breath sessions on your own try starting with 1 or 2x per week. What should I bring to class? Bring a yoga mat to lay on and it's recommended to also bring a blanket in case you get cold while breathing. |
