Yoga Well Discussion Series: Prāṇāyāma & Prāṇā

In this Viniyoga podcast, Chase connects yoga philosophy to breath based practice, the popularization of breathwork, and the 1,000-year tradition of yoga that gives these practices context. Listen in on our monthly Community Conversation, as Chase discusses the influence of Prāṇāyāma on Prāṇā. Within the popularization and proliferation of breathwork, there can be a tendency to explain yoga tools and techniques with descriptions of a Western allopathic focus. Chase reminds us of the ancient context and goal for these tools within a larger path of refining the human system and how it operates. Chase Bossart, Yoga Well's Executive Director, clarifies the foundational physiological understanding of yoga and how this relates to prāṇāyāma practices including concepts, applications, and tools in our program, Advanced Viniyoga Applications: Prāṇāyāma - Breathing in Viniyoga.
