Pranayama contains various breathing exercises, but the goal is not the breath but rather to reach the level of prana force, which is the source of all existence. Through breathing practices, one can achieve deep physical, energetic, and emotional cleaning. Pranayama is an ancient yogic breathing technique that is used as preparation for meditation and is a vital aspect of practicing yoga. It improves the respiratory system and purifies the body and mind.
Introduction to pranayama
Implementing breathwork in yoga poses allows for more opening and presence. Come experience the interplay of breath, movement, and energy and leave with an overall sense of well-being.
Benefits of pranayama
Daily pranayama trains the lungs and improves the capacity of the respiratory system immensely. Pranayam directly works on the nervous system. Daily pranayama positively affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls and governs essential functions of the body like the heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, etc.
Clavicular, thoracic, and diaphragmatic breathing (togic breathing)
Clavicular breathing is breathing into the top third of the lungs and no deeper. Clavicular breathing is accomplished by raising the collarbone (clavicle) and shoulders during the in-breath and keeping the rest of the torso motionless. Clavicular breathing is the most shallow type of breathing.
Ujjayi
Ujjayi breathing is a breathing technique employed in a variety of Taoist and yoga practices. In relation to yoga, it is sometimes called "the ocean breath."
Bhastrika
Bhastrikā is an important breath exercise in yoga and pranayama. It is sometimes treated as a kriya or "cleansing action" along with kapalabhati to clear the airways in preparation for other pranayama techniques. Bhastrika involves a rapid and forceful process of inhalation and exhalation powered by the movement of the diaphragm. The movement of air is accompanied by an audible sound. One inhale and exhale equals one round of bhastrika, and it may be repeated for many consecutive rounds.
Kapalbhati
Kapalabhati also called the breath of fire, is an important Shatkarma, a purification in hatha yoga. The Technique of Kapalabhati involves short and strong forceful exhalations and inhalation happens automatically. There are three forms of Kapalabhati:
Vatakrama kapalabhati, is a practice similar to the Pranayama technique of Bhastrika, except that exhalation is active while inhalation is passive, the opposite of normal breathing.
Vyutkrama kapalabhati, a practice similar to Jala neti, involves sniffing water through the nostrils and letting it flow down into the mouth, and then spitting it out.
Sheetkrama kapalabhati, can be considered the reverse of Vyutkrama kapalabhati, in which water is taken through the mouth and expelled through the nose.
Nadi – Sodhana
Nadi is a Sanskrit word meaning “channel” or "flow,” and shodhana means “purification.” Therefore, nadi shodhana is primarily aimed at clearing and purifying the subtle channels of the mind-body organism while balancing its masculine and feminine aspects.
Bhramari
Bhramari pranayama, also known as humming bee breath, is a calming breathing practice that soothes the nervous system and helps to connect you with your truest inner nature.
Surya bhedi and chandra bhedi
In chandra bhedana pranayama, the left nostril is used for inhalation and the right nostril is used for exhalation. It is said that on inhalation, energy passes through Ida (Chandra) Nadi and exhalation through Pingala or Surya Nadi.
Sheetali and Sheetkari
Sheetali pranayama, also known as cooling breath, is a breathing practice that very effectively cools the body, the mind, and the emotions. Sheetali comes from the Sanskrit root sheet, which means "cold" or "frigid." Sheetal translates roughly as "that which is calm, passionless, and soothing."
Sheetali pranayama calms and soothes the mind-body organism by activating a powerful evaporative cooling mechanism on the inhalation, delivering gentle cooling energy to the deep tissues of the body. Remarkably, this pranayama also enkindles the digestive fire—just as a live coal covered in ash might begin to glow under the influence of a cold wind

Cleansing techniques (shat karma)

Mantra chanting
Mantras are powerful sound vibrations that have healing and spiritual power. Regular chanting can be healthy and peaceful.
Study of asana: proper alignment, variations, and modifications with the ability to minimize the risk of injuries and hands-on adjustments
Asanas are one of the most important facets of yoga. Each asana is performed for a particular beneficial reason. The reasons can vary and may include aligning the body posture, getting rid of toxins, losing weight, overall health, taking away fatigue, and relaxing the mind.
Art of sequencing and improvisation in the class
One of the key elements of the training is to make future yoga teachers aware of the importance of sequencing. Sequencing has a vital role to play in conducting a successful and efficient class. A yoga class environment cannot be predicted at all times. It is in the hands of the teacher to engage the class, create a flow and share his/her teachings as suitably and effectively as possible.
Intelligent use of props to help improve practice at its early stages.
The course also consists of a part that teaches to enhance the effectiveness of a class with the use of props. Smart and intelligent use of props is a skill and is to be used to engage the class better.
Postures with their Sanskrit Names and terminology
Postures along with their names and meanings are taught in detail. The meaning of a posture can help the learner understand it better and it will also have a better impact as compared to doing it for the sake of it.
Technique and practice of breathing (pranayama)
The practice of breathing is considered the foundation of yoga. Deep breathing combined with Yoga has several benefits, such as improved blood flow, detoxifying the body, and improved digestion, among others.
Meditation (dhyana)
A deeper level of meditation and concentration to know the truth is referred to as dhyana. Dhyana is mostly done to reach samadhi, meaning bliss, which is the ultimate goal of yoga. Meditation is a systematic practice that promotes physical, mental, and emotional tranquility with the purpose of reaching samadhi (self-realization).
Breathing awareness meditation
Breath awareness meditation promotes physical and mental relaxation that can significantly reduce stress on the body and mind. The most basic way to do mindful breathing is simply to focus your attention on your breath, the inhale and exhale. You can do this while standing, but ideally, you’ll be sitting or even lying in a comfortable position. Your eyes may be open or closed, but you may find it easier to maintain your focus if you close your eyes. Experts believe a regular practice of mindful breathing can make it easier to do it in difficult situations.
Trataka
Trataka is a yogic purification and a tantric method of meditation that involves staring at a single point, such as a small object, black dot or candle flame. It is said to bring energy to the "third eye" and promote various psychic abilities.
Dynamic meditation
Dynamic meditation is a fast, intense, physical, and spiritual movement that helps you to release the past and clear the old patterns. It brings you peace, stillness, and freedom.
Tips for developing concentration
Through practice it's normal that your mind sometimes wanders; the thoughts will come, and it's okay. But when that happens, just bring your mind back to the present and bring awareness to your breath.
Silence meditation
Silence meditation is one of the most powerful meditation techniques. It helps you to connect and understand your true self.
Fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology.
Understanding human anatomy will help people understand yoga and its aspects better. This will also help achieve holistic health and the therapeutics of yoga practices.
Yoga philosophy, ideas, and hypothesis
Yoga is an ancient philosophy. To be a yoga teacher, one should understand the philosophy and ideas attached to it. Apart from this, they should also be able to share these same ideologies with their students in the future. The training assures them to share this philosophy with their worldwide crowd.
Confidence-building through teaching-practice
