An foundational principle of breath-centered yoga theory and practice is what Leslie refers to as “vertical axis integration,” also known as the opening of the energetic body’s central channel. In this three-hour practical intensive, we will explore this idea through a sequence of practices that integrate a fresh perspective on asana, kriya, bandha, and pranayama. The session will conclude with an initiation into a meditative practice derived from Krishnamacharya’s unique perspective on Prana/Apana, Kundalini and Agni.
Individual modifications and adaptions for all levels of experience will be taught, and ample time will be devoted to inquiry, questions and feedback.

Join Paul Menard, for an exploration of breath, body, and mind as we connect the art of pranayama with the scaffolding of posture, withdrawal of the senses, and a deeper vividness in meditation.
