HATHA PRANAYAMA A Weekly Practice At Center City Breathe Every Monday 7-8pm Description This weekly pranayama class offers an ongoing, accessible practice to help you build a comfortable and consistent relationship with your breath—no prior experience required. Each class is structured similarly to a yoga asana class, beginning with gentle warm-ups and foundational breathing techniques to safely prepare the body and nervous system. From there, we gradually introduce more activating practices at an approachable pace, with modifications and options offered throughout. The class closes with calming techniques to settle the breath and integrate the practice. Suitable for beginners and for those wishing to deepen their pranayama practice, this supportive and progressive environment highlights the powerful physical and mental benefits of conscious breathing—including reduced stress, improved lung capacity, lower blood pressure, enhanced mindfulness, and greater emotional balance.
