Breathe into Peace
Pranayama & Sound Journey for Inner Peace
The breath is the most ancient medicine we carry, and sound is one of its oldest companions. Long before modern breathwork modalities, the rishis of India mapped the precise rhythms of inhale, exhale, retention and release that move prana — life force — through the body, and paired those rhythms with mantra, bell and bowl to deepen the journey inward. They called this science pranayama, and they understood it as a direct pathway to deep inner stillness.
In this two-hour workshop, we return to that lineage — breath and sound, woven together.
What to expect:
- 20–30 minutes of teaching and intention setting. I’ll walk you carefully through the specific pranayama techniques we’ll be working with, the physiology of the breath, and how to meet your edge safely. You’ll set a quiet intention for what you’re here to soften, release, or invite.
- Four guided cycles of pranayama, supported by sound. Roughly one hour of active breathing, layered with music chosen to support the rhythmic rise and fall of each cycle. The breath techniques are drawn from the classical yogic tradition — not improvised, not holotropic, but precise and ancient. The sound is here to hold you deeper into the practice.
- Sound-bath savasana. We close in long savasana with a gentle sound bath, letting the practice land and the nervous system settle.
This is for you if you are curious about breathwork but wary of more intense modalities; you love sound healing and want to pair it with something deeper; you have a yoga or meditation practice and want to deepen into the breath itself; you are carrying tension, grief, or noise you’d like to soften; or you simply want two hours of being held in a sacred container.
Please bring: a yoga mat, a blanket, an eye pillow or scarf if you have one, and a water bottle. Come on a light stomach (no large meal within 2 hours of class).
All levels welcome. No prior breathwork experience required.
