The Science, Practice & Clinical Applications of Pranayama

This comprehensive immersion is designed for dedicated practitioners, yoga teachers, therapists, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of yogic breathing.

Participants will explore:

• The philosophy and foundations of Pranayama
• The physiology of breath and nervous-system regulation
• Scientific discoveries including biomarker and clinical research
• Practical instruction in foundational and advanced breathing techniques
• Applications for stress reduction, healthy aging, resilience, and wellness
• Clinical perspectives from cancer survivorship and integrative health programs

The immersion concludes with a special session on “Chanting is Pranayama,” exploring how sound, vocalization, and breath function together as powerful tools for regulation, focus, and inner stillness.

Participants will leave with a practical framework for personal practice as well as a deeper understanding of the science behind breath-based interventions.
