Through the application of
Prânâyâma in a daily practice,
it is said that the yogin starts in earnest
the journey within. Some of the breathing
techniques are common to all schools of Prânâyâma,
and they are practiced at the beginning of
the workshops. Prânâyâma
is a subtle discipline, though, and as such
not each person will benefit exactly in the
same way as the other. While the course progresses,
and more techniques are introduced, Emil endeavours
to assist and guide each student to find his
or her own level of intensity and depth of
breath in Prânâyâma.
Besides the practical work at dawn,
the physical, respiratory and mental processes
of these Prânâyâmas are
discussed in designated workshops in the afternoons.
And finally, our discourses in philosophy
provide the theoretical background to the
different traditions of the Indian breathing
techniques mentioned or practiced earlier
in such workshops.
At the end of a course, an appropriate sequence
for a home practice is suggested to each individual.
A regular home practice over an extended period
is essential for Prânâyâma
to become the effective tool for such tremendous
transformation hinted at above.
