Pranayama sounds intimidating. It doesn't need to be.
The breathing practices described in traditional texts were built by and for ascetics, whose goal was self-liberation, not getting through a Tuesday in 2026. Richard Rosen adapts these ancient techniques, respecting the tradition while making them genuinely useful for how we actually live.
This online workshop moves through preparatory exercises, a shavasana mini-session where you meet your Witness, and basic pranayama breaths and techniques, first reclining, then seated. What you do with it afterwards is up to you. Richard calls that the true yoga practice: everyday life.
Richard began practising in 1980, trained at the San Francisco BKS Iyengar Yoga Institute, and co-founded a school with Rodney Yee in Oakland. He has written six books on yoga, including two on pranayama.
Please have your props ready: at minimum three blankets, two blocks and a belt, plus a bolster if you have one. Some experience with asana or meditation is recommended but not required.
Sunday 6th September | 5.00pm – 7.00pm UK time | £50
