Pranayama and the Light Body Podcast artwork

These pranayama classes combine the limbic state created through the powerful work of traditional pranayama practices with guided visual processes.

Together these two create an alchemic journey into the energetic field of the Light Body. Here we transcend the physical structure and reawaken the innate knowledge of Self as a multidimensional being here to channel Light.

These practices can be done by any level of practitioner (advanced practices will be marked so) and can be used to augment your daily meditation practice, or as a stand-alone process done at any time of the day.

Pranayama for Winter & the Water Element

Welcome to this exploration and expansion of the square breathing or Sama Vritti technique as a means to access the still, descended silence of Winter and the Water Element. Breathwork practices are a profound way to support the seasonal transition from Metals descending, contracting forces to Waters formless state. The practice contains both full and empty breath holds as well as

Pranayama for the Late Summer Days

In this practice, we lean into the inherent heaviness of the humidity that characterizes the Late Summer phase and the element of EARTH. A slowed-down, observation-rich sequence suitable for practitioners with some experience in the basic pranayama techniques. Breathwork includes variations of Ujjai (Ocean breath), Agni Sari (alternating bellows breath) and Viloma (Interrupted brea

Pranayama Out of Time

In this pranayama practice, we move in counterflow to the sped-up, activated Summer season of Fire by slowing down the perception of time. Here we temper the unwound energies of full Yang bringing them back into containment, alignment and grace. Pranayama, when practised like this, can profoundly reverse our to-do list from something time-pressured and stress-inducing to a wide ope

Pranayama for Spring

In this pranayama practice, we endeavour to assist the work of Springs Wood Element with a steadying practice. Smoothing the edges of Spring where it can fray with urgency in its desire to move and grow. Pranayama is a powerful way to quickly and efficiently find a re-set when life feels like you've had too much coffee. Breathwork includes Ujjai (victorious breath), Sama Vritti (sq

Pranayama for the Threshold

In this practice we wind into the state between Winter and Spring, Water and Wood, imagining and Becoming. This is an almost 30-minute continuous sequence of combinations of Kaphlabhakti (bellow breath) and Sama Vritta (Square breathing). An elevator ride into your own depths and the space in the psyche where dreams take shape. Pranayama experience is recommended for this practice.

The Long Breath

Here on the first of Springs New Moons, we call the energy that creates mountains and contains oceans, we draw from the deep roots of the trees, and from nature’s diversity and inclusion. This is a process of clearing and grounding, of opening to the springtime, Wood energy cycle and dreaming in the New Earth frequencies on a personal and a collective level. Pranayama includes Uj

Venus in the Underworld

Aug 07 2023 40 mins

This 30-minute guided journey is designed to support the powerful phase of the Venus cycle that sees her disappear below the horizon. She takes this dive every 500 or so days and carries with her the mythology of Innana, Persephone and all the Goddesses who make the journey to reclaim the Self from the dark places.

Pranayama & the Outgoing Tide

In this 30-minute breathwork practice, we explore space, levity and gravity. Merging with the sound of the breath we empty ourselves of the old tides, the old beliefs, and all the old yesterdays that can be hard to let go. We range through a moderately complex Kaphlabhakti sequence, wound into a series of breath holds variations. Whilst accessible for beginner students it may not b

The Spirit of the Lungs

In the Chinese Five Element system, each of the Yin organs has a Spirit with different implications, gifts, and resonances. The Lungs move with the Spirit called Po, a formless, transcendental being that exists with us for one lifetime, entering at birth and dissolving at death, and so bookmarking our earth experience. The Po guides our discernment and helps us recognize right from
