Ignite Strength and Stillness: The Present Power Asana Series and Pranayama Practice with Beryl Bender

Morning Session:

Start your day with the Present Power series, a dynamic asana yoga practice that combines breath and movement and can be modified to accommodate all levels of practitioners. This is a wonderfully easy, accessible, and energizing practice, designed to ground you in the present moment while also building physical strength and mental clarity.

Following the asana practice, we will have an in-depth exploration of pranayama, the 4th limb of classical yoga following asana, the 3rd limb. Pranayama is a practice of breath control used to train the mind in concentration, focus the attention, and regulate energy. This portion of the session offers an opportunity for questions and hands-on practice to ensure a clear understanding of the breathwork and how it complements the physical postures. 

By the end of the morning session, you will feel refreshed, balanced, and empowered.
