Awaken Live! - Pranayama: Breathwork
Body as Temple
Pranayama: Breathwork
Is breath really the bridge to balance?
We explore how yogic breathing techniques (pranayama) regulate your nervous system, emotions, and energy levels.
Explore how breath connects body and mind—and why it's your superpower.
Honor the body as a sacred gateway to insight and healing.
This month, we reconnect with the physical body as a site of wisdom, healing, and spiritual experience. Through Ayurveda, detox rituals, yogic anatomy, breathwork, and Yoga Nidra, you’ll explore how your body holds the key to emotional resilience, mental clarity, and deep rest. These sessions offer grounded, life-enhancing practices to care for your body like the sacred vessel it is.
