In this post, I lift the curtain a little on what it takes to become an Iyengar Yoga Teacher. For part of my assessment process I have to create a 35 -45 minute inversions practice. This is my initial foray into that element of my assessment.
In Pranayama one begins first by observing and getting acquainted with the breath in order to perceive the sensations that arise in the lungs during the breathing process.
Pranayama is the practice of observing, refining and extending the breath. It is a way of controlling your life force energy. It is the fourth limb of Asthanga Yoga, right after asana.
