Breathwork
The breath discipline of yogic tradition, from simple lengthening to structured ratio work.
What this practice covers
About a dozen foundational techniques. Extended retention and hyperventilating styles are deliberately excluded.
Yarra’s note. Techniques are learnable in a session. Doing them daily for a year without turning them into a chore is the actual skill.
