Gary will share how this works during his online event, Experience Sacred Breath: Ancient Techniques for Elevating Your Health & Consciousness From a Renowned Western Prāṇāyāma Master, where you’ll have the rare opportunity to explore the authentic teachings of prāṇāyāma (rare to find in the West today) to increase vitality, balance your emotions and nervous system, manage stress, overcome suffering and cultivate the spiritual dimensions of life.

The secrets of prāṇāyāma were once held in and transmitted through lineages, very few of which survived into modern times

As a teenager, Gary was initiated into prāṇāyāma while studying in India with T.K.V. Deśikācar and his father, T. Kriṣṇamācāryaa, a renowned Yogi who brought the great tradition of authentic yoga to the West. He and his son served as a bridge between ancient and modern practice. 

These traditional teachings illuminate a multidimensional approach to breathwork that creates conscious relationships with our body systems that are powered by intention.

In this free online workshop, you’ll:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the importance of breath and how you can work with it for health and wellbeing 
• Be guided in an integration breathwork experience on directional flow and expanding the threshold of the breath to support balanced sympathetic-parasympathetic regulation
• Learn about the relationships between breathing, chanting and meditating, and the power of the breath to weave together these tools 
• Begin to understand different ways to control the flow of the breath to produce different effects
• Discover how to fully utilize the threshold breath, a powerful, yet often misunderstood, secret of yoga and why this is tremendously useful for your health and wellbeing
