Pranayama is the yogic practice of consciously working with the breath.

Through different breathing techniques, participants can explore breath awareness, focus, relaxation and energy, while developing a deeper connection between breath, body and mind.

The sessions will be accessible to people who are new to pranayama, while offering enough variety and depth for those who already have experience with yoga or mindfulness.

What to Expect

Each Friday session will have its own focus, while maintaining a familiar structure so participants can settle into the practice.

Sessions may include:

• Gentle yoga movement
• Breath awareness
• Pranayama techniques
• Mindfulness
• Guided meditation
• Relaxation
• Short periods of reflection

Participants will gradually be introduced to different breathing practices and encouraged to notice how they feel rather than simply trying to "perfect" a technique.

The emphasis is on exploration, awareness and creating practical tools that can be taken beyond the studio.

The First Six-Week Block

The first block will run for six weeks, aligning with the school term and providing a natural starting point for participants.

The timing also allows the series to lead into the Christmas period, when many people can benefit from having dedicated time to slow down and reset.

The first block could explore themes such as:

Week 1 – Connecting with the Breath
Building awareness and creating a comfortable foundation.

Week 2 – Finding Calm
Exploring gentle practices to encourage relaxation.

Week 3 – Breath & Energy
Exploring breath practices that support focus and vitality.

Week 4 – Breath & Balance
Working with different breathing patterns and developing awareness.

Week 5 – Breath & Mindfulness
Connecting the breath with present-moment awareness.

Week 6 – Soothe & Reset
Bringing the practices together and creating tools participants can continue using in everyday life.
