Join Mirabelle D'Cunha for this workshop on the power of the Prāṇāmaya Kośā. This event will start with brief but insightful overview of the Kośās, the layers of existence that encapsulate the self, and the pivotal role they play in our spiritual and physical well-being. Our primary focus will be on the Prāṇāmaya Kośā, the sheath of vital energy and breath.
We will then investigate the concept of interception, exploring how the Prāṇāmaya Kośā serves as the bridge between the physical and mental realms. Through interactive discussions and practical exercises, we will dive into the sense of interception, gaining a deeper awareness of its significance in our lives.
Discover how yoga practitioners often utilize the breath to bypass the authentic experience of the Prāṇāmaya Kośā and explore techniques that help bridge the gap between breath and being, allowing for a more profound and authentic experience of the Prāṇāmaya Kośā.
You will also learn:
· The effect of conditioning (vasanas) on pranamaya kosha
· Tantra-based practice of co-meditation and its biological basis
· Powerful prāṇā awareness practice, tapping into the ever-changing landscape of the prāṇāmaya kośā to facilitate allowing/grace
We can tolerate pain, run from it, fight it, avoid it, give in to it, and witness it. With practice, we can learn how to influence it in many different ways. With yoga, we can increase our discernment of pain, recognising that neither ignoring pain nor avoiding anything that is painful serve us in yoga.
Co-facilitated by the Yoga Alliance Community Engagement team, Lisa Pearson, ordained Swami Swarupananda in Kriya Yoga, and Neil Pearson, physical therapist and Clinical Associate Professor, this member meet-up offers you the chance to share and brainstorm during facilitated break-out rooms and guides us to ‘think about what we think about’ pain during yoga.
