The Power of Breath
6 Week Introduction to Pranayama & Breathwork
16 & 30 August, 13 September
With Cathy Taylor
We breathe thousands of times every day, usually without giving it much thought. Yet the way we breathe can influence how calm, focussed, energised or settled we feel.
Over three sessions, meeting fortnightly across six weeks, we’ll explore the fundamentals of pranayama — simply, the practice of working intentionally with the breath.
Each session will introduce different breathing techniques and give you time to experience, practise and understand their effects. This Iyengar Yoga–based course led by Cathy will introduce pranayama in a clear, supportive and progressive way. Each session will include gentle preparation, guided breathing practices and time to observe how the breath can influence energy, focus and the nervous system.
Between sessions, you’ll be encouraged to continue with short practices at home, allowing you to gradually develop greater awareness and confidence with your breathing practice.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of breathing practices you understand and feel confident using — whether you’re looking to settle your nervous system, improve focus, create energy or simply take a moment to reset.

Practice between sessions encouraged.
No previous pranayama or yoga experience is necessary.
