Taught by Cyndi Lee

February 24 & 25, 2021
Integral Yoga Institute, NYC

The OM Pranayama Teacher Training will give you the tools to teach pranayama in yoga classes, pranayama classes and with private clients; as well as deepen your own pranayama practice.

Cyndi will introduce aspects, movements, and parts of the breath and illustrate how pranayama practice can be seamlessly integrated with yoga philosophy.

Each day will begin with a full pranayama practice, introducing sama vritti, nadi shodanam, viloma, kapalabhati and the most advanced technique of all - breath awareness — or finding a genuine breath.  This intimate work will begin with simple stretching and move on to breath work done lying down and sitting up.

Following our Pranayama practices, we will study the benefits of various pranayama techniques practiced that morning. 

Participants will learn how to use props and hands-on adjustments to support breath work and will work in study groups to create and teach warm-ups specific to pranayama preparation.  

Cyndi will give dharma talks on how this work relates to the philosophy of yoga, mindfulness, compassion.  We will explore breathing in relationship to effort, holding, sustainability, resiliency and not knowing.

The OM Pranayama Teacher Training is appropriate for yoga teachers, acupuncturists, bodywork practitioners, or anyone interested in practicing and learning more about pranayama.

This course includes a pranayama manual written by Cyndi Lee.

A certificate will be issued upon completion of the course.
