Understanding Pranayama

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali describes pranayama as the expansion or control of prana, which we experience through our breathing. Our mind and prana (our breath) are closely intertwined. Where our mind goes, prana follows, and by regulating prana, we can regulate our mind.

The Meaning of Pranayama

The word “pranayama” is comprised of two roots: prana and ayama.

Prana: This means ‘vital energy’ or ‘life force’. It is the force that exists in all things, whether alive or lifeless. While closely related to the air we breathe, prana is subtler than air or oxygen. Through pranayama, we use our breath to direct the flow of prana in the nadis, or astral tubes, of the pranamaya kosha, our energy body.

Ayama: This means ‘extension’ or ‘expansion’. Thus, pranayama means ‘expansion of the dimension of prana’. Pranayama techniques provide methods to activate and regulate this life force, allowing us to transcend our normal boundaries and reach higher states of vibratory energy.

Our 50 hours Pranayama Training offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to deepen your understanding and practice of pranayama. You’ll learn to harness the power of your breath to achieve greater control over your mind and energy.

Breathing Techniques

Before starting with Pranayama we will discover different breathing techniques to experience their differences and learn how to combine them in the yogic breath. 

Breathing Awareness: is the foundation of pranayama practice.

Diaphragmatic Breathing: Also known as abdominal breathing, focuses on engaging the diaphragm to maximize lung capacity and improve oxygen exchange.

Chest breathing: Involves expanding the ribcage to draw air into the middle lobes of the lungs.

Collar breathing: Or clavicular breathing, focuses on the upper part of the lungs and involves raising the collarbones and shoulders to draw air in.

Yogic breath: Or complete breath, combines diaphragmatic, chest, and collar breathing into a harmonious and balanced breath cycle.

Pranayama Techniques

Every day we will practice different pranayama techniques. By taking more time during the day to breathe you get the chance to experience the various effects of these techniques. 

In this 50 hours pranayama Training in Bali will cover the following Pranayama techniques and their variations with breath retention:

~ Nadi Shodhana
~ Surya Bhedi
~ Chandra bhedi
~ Bhramari
~ Bhastrika

Shatkarma

To purify your body prior to the practice of pranayama we will perform shatkarma, including jalneti, nauli, kapalbhati and trataka.

Pranayama Theory

In our 50 hours pranayama theory classes, you will delve into the fundamental concepts of pranayama, understanding its purpose and significance in the practice of yoga.

This includes: 

Yogic Anatomy: Explore yogic anatomy, including the nadis and energy channels within the human body. Understanding the pancha pranas (five vital airs) and pancha koshas (five sheaths) will help you comprehend how pranayama influences your astral body.

Bandhas

Bandhas, or energy locks, are crucial techniques in pranayama that help control and direct the flow of prana (life force) within the body. Mastering these locks is essential for deepening your pranayama practice and achieving greater control over your energy.

Types of Bandhas

In this Pranayama course, you will practice and learn about the three primary bandhas and the advanced Maha Bandha:

Mula Bandha (Root Lock)
Uddiyana Bandha (Abdominal Lock)
Jalandhara Bandha (Throat Lock)

What Our Customer Say About Us

The classes were rigorously structured, combining traditional and modern understandings of yoga and not just focusing on the asanas. This enabled a deeper understanding of practice and aided in our own personal journey and growth throughout the three weeks.

Our teachers were of the highest standard I have experienced, they really knew their stuff! They allowed time for open and honest conversations. Emotionally they were very supportive, always in contact whenever we needed them. Always with a smile on their faces and getting to understand us as individuals.

All the classes were accessible for all levels, I would highly recommended this yoga school to everyone wishing to broaden their understanding of Yoga in its entirety.

Authentic, humble honest. I did have the best experience here with such safe and comforting teachers. The groups are small the lessons are full with valuable information. yoga Philosophy being thought by Sandeep, a native indian who grew up with yoga since he is a child and lives it with his whole heart is such a special, unique and most important authentic and honest experience which is hard to find in any other schools around Bali.
Katharina is also a wonderful devoted teacher and it is nice to see this Balance of both i helps to understand.
I wouldn‘t go to any other school and I would love to join many more of Anandam Yoga School courses.

Thank you very much🙏

Anandam yoga school is amazing!!! I learned so much from them. Ankur was an incredible teacher and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of yoga, asanas, pranayama, hatha, vinyasa, etc. I absolutely loved this authentic yoga teacher training. I wanted to learn yoga from someone who knew the roots of yoga from India and Ankur taught that and more! I feel like I gained an even deeper love and appreciation for yoga through this experience which I didn’t even know was possible. They pushed me to be the best that I could be and I will always be grateful for that. The course taught me a lot and I am looking forward to teaching in my community back home!! I would absolutely recommend Anandam Yoga School. They have a wonderful environment centered on learning and growing!

I just finished my 200h Yoga teacher training with Anandam Yoga School and I couldn't be happier. It was such a nice and meaningful experience for me. I learned so much about Yoga in these three weeks.
Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur are amazing teachers and it felt like a family to spent time with them and the other students. Their knowledge about philosophy, anatomy, asanas and also ayurveda and pranayama and meditation is impressive! I enjoyed every day of the training so much and I am so thankful I found Anandam Yoga School to do it there.

I would definitely recommend to do the Yoga teacher trainig here and to experience this wonderful journey with Anandam.
Thank you so much Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur🤍

I chose to take my 200h YTT on Bali with Anandam Yoga School as it was of utmost importance to me to learn about the foundations of Yoga from an Indian guide with a deep connection to the practice & its tradition in India, while having local rooting in Bali. Sandeep, Katharina & Kadek imparted a well of knowledge about Yoga asana practice as well as anatomy, yoga philosophy, the history of yoga, pranayama, meditation, shatkarma (cleansing rituals), equity, cultural appropriation, and much more, for us students (and future teachers) to build on for a lifetime to come, knowing that we'll be able to honour the roots of Yoga in India as most of us return to share our practice in Western societies. I am also deeply grateful for the care & support that Katharina & Sandeep provided to us throughout the journey, from travel logistics to a broad variety of recommendations (restaurants, clinics, visa agents, etc.) on anything we might need.

I just finished my 300hr yoga teacher training with them. I am their return student as I also did my 200 hour ytt with them. The experience with them are pleasant. I’ve learnt a lot from them, from asanas, alignments, philosophy, pranayama, and the Hindu tradition. I’ve grown so much after the training, feeling more confident in teaching yoga. Ashtanga yoga was demanding and it’s great to have mysore style every morning with Sandeep as an instructor. He would challenge you and push you above your limits. Arm balancing classes are fun and I have developed so much strength compared to when I first started the training. Both Katarina and Sandeep have beautiful and kind souls. They are always there for you and back you up whenever you need them. After 500 ++ hours we spent together we have developed a stronger bond as good friends! I would really recommend them if you are looking for yoga teacher training courses!!
