Our Pranayama Teacher Training Course explores theory and extensive practice of a variety of Pranayama techniques. Students experience the effect of these practices impacting the body on both the gross and subtle level, working towards purification and balance of the physical and energetic bodies.
“Prana” is translated from Sanskrit to mean the life-force or vital energy that channels through the body. It is the spiritual link between the mind and consciousness. Students of Pranayama at Jivan Chakra Foundation engage in a variety of focused breathing techniques with careful guidance from experienced teachers which improve overall health as well as maintaining well being in all of the vital organs within the body. Through these techniques and deep breathing, we are able to stimulate the Vagus nerve, the main nerve within the parasympathetic nervous system. The Vagus nerve controls the heart rate and by slowing this down, we can lower blood pressure and calm both the body and mind. The health benefits of Pranayama also include; purifying the blood, reducing stress and anxiety levels, purging negative emotions, preventing disease, removing toxins and strengthening the immune system.
