Internationally-renowned yoga and meditation teacher  from the Sivananda lineage, Swami Saradananda is the Author of "Chakra Meditation", "The Essential Guide to Chakras" “The Power of Breath”, “Mudras for Modern Life”, “The Cleansing Power of Yoga” - and her latest book, which will be officially released in June, is entitled “Sitting Comfortably: preparing the mind and body for peaceful meditation”. She has mentored thousands of students in their pranayama sadhana and offers wonderful guidance to us as teachers and students of pranayama

  • Should bandhas be included in our practice
  • Making sounds while practicing Pranayama
  • Context of pranayama in yoga and how the “end” goal is different from breathwork.
  • Guidance on the importance of the regular practice of Pranayama
