Six-Part Series Embodying the Power of the Breath (The Practice of Prāṇāyāma for Health, Healing, and Awakening with Richard Miller)
A Practical Journey into the Power of Breath
Join Richard Miller, PhD for a transformative six-part live series exploring the ancient art and science of prāṇāyāma—the conscious regulation of breath for health, healing, and awakening.
Through a rich blend of philosophical insight, guided practice, and interactive Q&A, you’ll discover how six foundational prāṇāyāma techniques can nurture physical vitality, emotional balance, mental clarity, and spiritual connection. This is not just a class—it’s an embodied experience that empowers you to cultivate a sustainable and deeply personal breath practice.
“Knowledge more secret than the science of breath, wealth more useful than the science of breath, a friend truer than the science of breath, has never been seen or heard of.” – Śivagama
Across six weeks, Richard will guide you through:
The yogic philosophy of prāṇāyāma, including the five vāyus, the role of prāṇa and apāna, and the interplay of breath in meditation and awakening.
The science and psycho-physiology of respiration, from the mechanics of breathing to its impact on the nervous system and emotional well-being.
A toolkit of practical techniques—including nādi-shodhana, ujjayi, bhastrika, and more—adapted to your unique needs for healing, energy balance, and self-realization.
Whether you are a beginner curious about breathwork or an experienced yoga or meditation teacher seeking to deepen your practice, this immersive course will equip you with the knowledge, skill, and confidence to integrate prāṇāyāma into both personal practice and professional work.
Let the wisdom of the breath become your constant companion—awakening resilience, restoring harmony, and revealing the unchanging essence within.
