breathworkBreathe Better: Master Your Breath
Breathing extends far beyond the mechanics of inhalation and exhalation cued during asana practice. In this five-day residential training, participants explore the science and philosophy of functional breathing, integrating traditional pranayama with modern respiratory research. The course addresses a gap in many yoga lineages, where breath receives minimal attention despite its central role in practice and life. Instructors Kari Harendorf and Tiger Bye guide students through the biochemistry and biomechanics of respiration, examining how breath influences sleep, mental health, and cellular-level stress adaptation. Through a blend of yogic breath techniques and the Oxygen Advantage method, participants learn to assess and improve their baseline respiratory function, train the body for greater oxygen efficiency, and tailor breathing practices to their individual constitution and asana practice. The training is designed for yoga practitioners seeking deeper understanding, health-conscious individuals, and yoga teachers who wish to become more effective breath educators, bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary physiology.
