As one advances on the path of yoga, one’s progress eventually becomes an inward journey. The maturity increases to realize a world of riches that dwells within. Pranayama is the path to access this vast inner realm.

When we learn how to breathe as a human, we can enjoy all aspects of life.

Breathing properly increases one’s immune system, increasing oxygen capacity and furthering the health of the body.

Breathing with Pranayama techniques additionally increases Prana, Life Force, which enlivens the subtle body.

Pranayama practices are the key to soothing the mind to become one-pointed and calm. This focused state is the necessary gateway towards meditation.

sit, breathe

In this training students will learn a general outline for an established Pranayama practice that they can then build.

There are a variety of sequencing methods for asana that lead the energy to a higher or calmer state, depending on the need of the student.  upon as the practice grows.

Asana moves the physical body so that it can be still and steady.

Pranayama moves the subtle body, increasing space and connecting to greater amounts of energy, so that it can become more vibrant.

As the awareness to the subtle body expands, that expands one’s capacity to connecting with the Higher Self, the soul. Pranayama has the tools to further this exploration.

“I really enjoy trainings with Jeanne, as I feel deeply supported in discovering ancient wisdom with a modern view and lots of humor. Even participating online from a totally different time zone, Jeanne manages to integrate in-class + online students in such a wonderful way that it never gets boring or exhausting in front of the computer. After this training, I feel more secure in my own practice and enjoy integrated all the learnings on a deeper level. Thank you!”

“The Power of Pranayama training with Jeanne Heileman was captivating from start to finish. The structure was so conducive to learning – each day began with a brief intro of what to expect, followed by a practice designed to allow us to experience what we were learning, followed by a debrief of our experience and a thorough discussion of the material. This discussion would be broken into pieces by breaks and a post-meal restorative practice that allowed our minds and bodies to digest. Each day ended with a seated pranayama and meditation leaving us feeling inspired and centered as we headed out of the classroom. I believe everyone experienced breakthroughs in their personal self-awareness as well as their practice. Jeanne carefully empowers her students to go deeper into curiosity and personal exploration leaving us motivated to cultivate a subtle body experience for ourselves.”

– Heather Kampf, Los Angeles, CA

The experience was profoundly impactful and provided me with tools that have significantly enhanced my yoga practice. It provided me with practical skills and insights that continue to enrich my mental clarity and emotional balance. Since attending the workshop, I have incorporated several pranayama practices into my daily routine. These practices have helped me manage stress more effectively and maintain a calm, centered state of mind amidst the challenges of being a mother. I am beyond grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of yoga and meditation.”

– Shira Marmet, Los Angeles, CA
