Prāṇāyāma: Practice and Theory Practical with Dr. Balasubramanian

This 14 week course will provide participants an opportunity to learn and practice prāṇāyāma with Dr. Balasubramanian --- Cell Biologist, Yoga Researcher, Yoga Therapist and Teacher, and scholar practitioner of prāṇāyāma, the practice of Yogic Breathing. Course will meet for 14 weeks (excluding holidays) at 10 am ET, on Saturdays, starting October 2, 2021. Sessions will be archived for later viewing in case you are unable to attend. Recordings will be available for 30 days after the end of course.

Dr. Balasubramanian, Cell Biologist, author of numerous scholarly publications, originally from Tamil Nadu India, currently Research Professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, inherits a traditional Indian practice of Yoga from his family, supplemented with advance training in Yoga from Swami Chitbhavananda's Vivekananda College in India. Dr. Sundar continued his studies through an MS and PhD in biochemistry. His work marries the traditional science and practice of Yoga with contemporary research on the therapeutic impact of yogic breathing—a practice that allows the practitioner to control their own biochemistry. Dr. Sundar, a scholar practitioner of prāṇāyāma ---yogic breathing---will lead participants through the ancient practice of breath control, to engage in the complete Eight Limbs of Yoga. And whereas many modalities of yoga practice require a high degree of bodily ability, prāṇāyāma is for everyone who can breathe.

What Students Will Learn In This Course

Students will learn about the ancient secrets of yogic breathing practices as taught by adepts such as Tirumūlar---information not generally available to non scholars of Tamil and Yoga. Students will learn about the biochemical science behind yogic breathing, which will help students appreciate how to harness the healing and transformative powers of prāṇāyāma for their own practice or teaching. Students will gain insight and skills in the practice of prāṇāyāma from a scholar practitioner of yogic breathing. Some know how to practice prāṇāyāma. Others know about the science behind breathing. Students will learn synergistically about both from Dr. Balasubramanian. Don't miss out on this unusual opportunity.
