Optimize Your Breathing

Traditionally, yoga classes begin or end with Pranayama techniques. Less attention is given to breathing within poses beyond being told when to inhale and exhale. True functional breathing is more than inhaling and exhaling from an external cue; it’s how you breathe beyond the yoga mat. Join cofounders of Better Yoga, Kari Harendorf and Tiger Bye, for a transformative workshop that redefines how to sync the breath to the asana.

Learn to harmonize each movement with your physiology, transform your yoga practice into a moving meditation, and integrate traditional pranayama with modern Oxygen Advantage® techniques. This workshop will also cover how to:

• Measure and optimize your breathing: Delve into the biochemistry and biomechanics of respiration to train the respiratory system to be more efficient and imbue the body with more oxygen.
• Increase stress resilience at a cellular level: Discover the relationship between breathing, sleep, and mental health, and learn actionable ways to improve all three.
• Understand the science of traditional practices: Explore the nuances and differences between breathwork and pranayama to become a more effective and empowering yoga teacher or practitioner.
• Advance your physical practice: Explore ways to improve your functional breathing, tailor the breath to your unique constitution, and strengthen respiratory health through high-altitude simulation and kumbhaka (breath retention).

Designed for everyone from health enthusiasts to seasoned practitioners, this experience offers a science-backed framework to become more conscious of the breath so you can unlock the power to balance your mind and life.
