Prana is the source of our inner power, it is the essence of Life, and the ancient yogis developed very specific techniques to enhance our vitality and clarity of the mind, with the goal of expanding consciousness. It is a very profound science of the breath, but even as a beginner you can still experience benefits. The regularity of the practice will train your lungs and purifies with time the nadis (channels of the subtle body). I have been teaching pranayama as part of my yoga classes for the last 38 years. It is an aspect which is often overlooked nowadays in the current yoga classes available.
The practice will be done lying down and sitting, with a meditative relaxation at the end to seal and balance the pranic flow.

CLASSES DESCRIPTION
HATHA YOGA (75 mins): Starting with warm up exercises followed by a selection of asanas (postures) and ending with a 10 mins relaxation. We may do Sun salutations with variations and stronger asanas that require enough flexibility in hips & knees. General level.
PRANAYAMA (1hr): Preliminary movements coordinated with the breath will help release tension, open the lungs, exercise the diaphragm and open the nadis (channels of the subtle body). We then approach gradually different pranayamas, working with or without kriyas, alternate nadis, and various ratios. We finish the session with a guided meditative relaxation lying down to bring the energy into balance, and allow positive transformation at a deeper level. By calming the mind and emotions, by releasing physical tension these sessions restore clarity and vitality.
GENTLE YOGA (75 mins): We start by freeing pranic blockages from the joints through simple and repetitive exercises, then move to slow stretches with focused breathing in gentle asanas to awaken the body and mind. Finishing with 10 mins relaxation where the pranic flow is guided in different locations, ending with silence. Suitable for all levels. Very beneficial for early morning stiffness, low energy, and a beautiful way to start the day with increased awareness and a greater ease in the body.

Some feedback from my students
'I have had yoga lessons before and find that Marianne has a depth of experience which comes from many years of teaching and practice, which have given her a vast store of knowledge which she draws on in the sessions.
Pranayam and Yoga Nidra have encouraged me to become more aware of my breathing and bring me to a level of consciousness that allows me to benefit from the ideas that Marianne builds upon during the meditation. Her knowledge and experience always bring me to new awareness, and I am able to build upon the ideas that are communicated during the meditation, and try put them into practice in my daily life.'

You’re an amazing soul, and a unique teacher. I feel you’re spreading the teachings and helping people in a way that’s very synergistic, and is close to, and respectful of the more traditional and powerful methods. Especially in a world that seems to focus on the more superficial side of it'
