The first step is to develop awareness of the normally unconscious breathing processes and the respiratory muscles. After an appropriate preparatory phase, the exercises are extended, and breath retention is incorporated into the practice.<\/p>\n

Ways to learn Pranayama<\/h3>\n
The one-and-a-half-day introductory workshop is well-suited for learning Pranayama.<\/p>\n
After the introduction, you will receive a Pranayama sequence tailored specifically to you, your goals, and your ‘time budget’ for personal practice.<\/p>\n

To further support and develop your practice, I offer short Pranayama classes in a small group setting on Monday and Wednesday early evenings, both in the studio and online. They last approximately 25 minutes.<\/p>\n
These classes are included in the monthly fee<\/a>. If you practice using the general Ashtanga Yoga Plus ten-class pass<\/a>, each class counts as half a unit on that pass. You can also purchase a dedicated ten-class pass for Pranayama (and Meditation), priced at half the cost of the general ten-class pass. Participation in a single class without the monthly fee or one of the ten-class passes costs \u20ac11.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wcm9kdWN0Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI0OTkzMyJ9fQ==@” button_text=”Buy a dedicated ten-class pass now” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”40e19b23-ba4e-40ea-b915-363dc21be8af” hover_enabled=”0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Additionally, I offer a 90-minute Pranayama refresher approximately once per quarter on a Sunday morning \u2013 especially for those who cannot attend the weekday Pranayama classes.<\/p>\n It is also included in the monthly fee<\/a>.

Regularity is more important than duration. Practicing for three 10-minute sessions a week is more effective than one 30-minute session every two weeks.<\/p>\n In the tradition I teach, Pranayama should ideally be practiced before Asana practice. However, this is not mandatory. In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, for instance, Pranayama is regularly practiced after Asana practice.<\/p>\n You can notice the positive effects of Pranayama after just a few weeks \u2013 including in your Asana practice (if you have one).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_shop type=”product_category” include_categories=”424″ columns_number=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_shop][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n On a physical level, regular practice of Pranayama increases respiratory volume and enhances oxygen saturation in the tissues. Key muscle groups, such as those of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, are strengthened.<\/p>\n Energetically, Pranayama promotes a targeted increase and improved distribution of life force (prana) throughout the body.<\/p>\n Some Pranayama techniques have therapeutic indications, while others have a more general soothing effect. Specific other techniques primarily serve to boost vitality.<\/p>\n By establishing new breathing patterns, existing links between emotional states\u2014such as fear or anger\u2014and restrictive breathing habits are dissolved, weakening the intensity of these negative emotions. In this sense, Pranayama, as practiced for millennia in India, represents one of the oldest forms of breathing therapy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#e52be2″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q and A” open=”on” icon_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#a587d0″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”22px”][\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the difference between this kind of pranayama and the one taught in Ashtanga Yoga?” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#a587d0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n In my experience, this form of pranayama is softer, at least in the early years of practicing, and it can also be better individualized.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I practice pranayama even if I don\u2019t do any other yoga?” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#a587d0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Of course.

As long as we live, we breathe. And to\u00a0breathe and do certain breathing techniques consciously is beneficial for everyone.<\/p>\n Yet, there are some practices that should be avoided for medical reasons (i.e. with hypertension or glaucoma \u2013 as long as they are not under control).

Wichtige Muskelgruppen, beispielsweise die Beckenboden- und die tiefe Bauchmuskulatur, werden gest\u00e4rkt.\n\nEnergetisch bewirkt Pranayama eine gezielte Verst\u00e4rkung und bessere Verteilung der Lebenskraft (Prana) im K\u00f6rper.\n\nDurch die neuen Atemmuster werden die bestehenden Verkn\u00fcpfungen von emotionalen Zust\u00e4nden, beispielsweise Angst oder \u00c4rger, mit einschr\u00e4nkenden Formen der Atmung gel\u00f6st, und diese negativen Emotionen werden geschw\u00e4cht. In diesem Sinn ist das seit Jahrtausenden in Indien praktizierte Pranayama<\/strong> eine der \u00e4ltesten Formen der Atemtherapie.\n\nEs gibt Pranayama<\/strong>-Techniken, die konkrete therapeutische Anwendungen haben. Andere wirken ausgleichend und beruhigend. Wiederum andere erh\u00f6hen vor allem die Vitalit\u00e4t.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.5\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.5\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.5.3\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]\n\nIch unterrichte Pranayama in der Tradition von Swami Kuvalayananda (1883 \u2013 1966), das ich von dessen direktem Sch\u00fcler Sri O. P. Tiwari und seinem Sch\u00fcler Paul Dallaghan erlernt habe.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=\"4.5.3\" background_color=\"#e52be2\" background_enable_color=\"on\" hover_enabled=\"0\" custom_margin__hover_enabled=\"off|desktop\"][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Fragen und Antworten\" open=\"off\" icon_color=\"rgba(0,0,0,0)\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\" background_color=\"#a587d0\" toggle_font_size=\"22px\"][\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Wie unterscheidet sich dieses Pranayama von dem im Ashtanga Yoga unterrichteten?\" _builder_version=\"4.5.3\" background_color=\"#a587d0\" hover_enabled=\"0\" open=\"on\"]\n\nNach meiner Erfahrung ist diese Form des Pranayama zumindest in den ersten Jahren sanfter und kann besser auf die einzelne Person ausgerichtet werden.\n\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Kann ich Pranayama auch dann \u00fcben, wenn ich ansonsten keine Yoga Praxis habe?\" _builder_version=\"4.5.3\" background_color=\"#a587d0\" hover_enabled=\"0\" open=\"off\"]\n\nSelbstverst\u00e4ndlich. Es ist auch nicht notwendig, dass Du im Schneidersitz auf dem Boden sitzen kannst - Pranayama kann auch auf einem Stuhl ge\u00fcbt werden. \n\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Ich bin Raucher. Kann ich trotzdem Pranayama erlernen?\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\" background_color=\"#a587d0\" open=\"off\"]\n\nBestimmt. Meine pers\u00f6nliche Erfahrung ist allerdings, dass es zwei Typen von Rauchern (und Raucherinnen) gibt. Die einen beginnen mit dem Pranayama und h\u00f6ren dann sehr schnell mit dem Rauchen auf, und die anderen sehr schnell wieder mit dem Pranayama.\n\nAus R\u00fccksicht den anderen Praktizierenden gegen\u00fcber solltest Du als Raucherin oder als Raucher, wenn Du vor Ort am Unterricht teilnimmst, mindestens eine Stunde vor dem Unterricht nicht geraucht haben und auch nicht mit verrauchten Kleidern zum Unterricht kommen. \n\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Ist Pranayama f\u00fcr alle Menschen geeignet?\" _builder_version=\"4.5.3\" background_color=\"#a587d0\" hover_enabled=\"0\" open=\"off\"]\n\nJa, das ist es. So lange wir leben, atmen wir. Das bewusste Atmen und die bewusste Durchf\u00fchrung bestimmter Atemtechniken ist f\u00fcr alle Menschen hilfreich.\n\nAllerdings gibt es Techniken, die aus medizinischen Gr\u00fcnden z.B. bei Bluthochdruck oder erh\u00f6htem Augeninnendruck (so lange diese Abweichungen nicht eingestellt sind) nicht durchgef\u00fchrt werden sollten. Es gibt auch Techniken, die nicht w\u00e4hrend der Menstruation, bei konkretem Schwangerschaftswunsch oder bereits bestehender Schwangerschaft ge\u00fcbt werden sollten.\n\nEine qualifizierte Lehrerin oder ein qualifizierter Lehrer wird dies vor Beginn mit Dir besprechen. Und so mache ich es auch :-).\n\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.5\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/ashtanga-yoga-plus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Sri-O.P.-Tiwari-und-Paul-Dallaghan.jpg\" alt=\"woman in white shirt sitting on brown and white pillow\" title_text=\"Sri O.P.
