Hi Jason,

Thanks so much for this wonderful pranayama class. I teach Vinyasa and Mindfulness classes in Doha, Qatar and have been curious about adding a very basic introduction to pranayama into the 90 minute Vinyasa classes. I agree with your comments regarding when to practice pranayama and so would love your opinion on sequencing a class with the intention to introduce the idea of a breath practice to students. I was thinking something like: 15 min warm up, 30 minute standing flow, 10 minute seated poses, transitioning into 10-15 minutes restorative to really slow things down and settle the system, then 10 minutes pranayama and 10 minute savasana?
Thanks so much Jason. I enjoy all your classes and always learn so much!
best,
jacki

Just beautiful....aaahhhhh!

Excellent basic pranayama class. Very relaxing.

the class was stoped after 21 minutes, why?

Excellent thank you dar

Sarah - thank you very much!

Jason you are an incredible teacher. In all of the many and varied classes that you teach, I feel that I am in the safe hands of someone who is grounded in their own deep experience, excellent at communicating that experience, and teaching from the integrity of their heart. Thank you.

Jennifer - thrilled this helped ease the headache away! I'll add your breath work request to my list of possible future topics. Thanks!

Very much enjoyed and more or less worked a stress headache away. Also looking in a gentle way to the deeper implications of breath work over a period of time. Thank you.

Tracy - thanks! always nice to receive confirmation that practitioners like you are resonating. I'll add pranayama to my list.

Oh yum, soo relaxed right now! Always love the calm, measured delivery and subtleness of your classes. Deeply evocative. Thank you and more pranayama please!

jennifer - First of all, what you are experiencing is completely normal. It is much easier for most to work with breath reclining. In fact, I spent the first couple of years of my pranayama practice reclined 95% of the time. Please feel free to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Relaxation is a pre-requisite for decent breathing so continue to make comfort a priority. When you do periodically sit up, definitely sit in the most comfortable position for your body. Make sure you don't force it. Find comfort and let the breath come (and go).

Jennifer - do you use support under your seat? do you tense to stay upright? in what positions does your breath feel full and unrestricted?

I love, love your clarity. Whenever I sit upright, my breathing always feels very shallow. Any suggestions?

Michelle - thank you!!

Great class thank you.

I love your classes; the pacing, the sequence, the guidance. They are perfect for waking up or after a long day. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to deal with knee pain (in standing postures) from Chondromalacia patella syndrome. Thank you!

Dr. Arya - Thank you!

Lainie - welcome back and hope your back is healing well.

First pranyama class I have taken. I loved how you kept reminding us "do not impress yourself." I needed that reminder!

Perfect restorative after travel and a long day of work

5 weeks post significant back injury... this is my first class back - Breath is all that I have had for weeks... Feeling blessed to have opened yogoglo and seeing this class front and center. Thank you Jason, it was lovely (and Kim too!).

Caitlinn- thanks for practicing with me.

Kz- thanks for your feedback!

just what i needed this morning, thank you.

thanks for this, always looking for the breath within the practice to be soft and unforced... and just to rest with the breath itself is good stuff.

some pause time between direction would be nice, so can experience my own sensations.

Dar - glad you took time for the tutorial!

both serving, and shavoring..thank you. I too only teach very basic breathing...truth I dont always "get " all the others..yet:) peace,dar
