All Levels
Prana governs the inhalations, and apana governs exhalations. Linking prana and apana together is the heart of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system, creating the core postures, the bandhas, the drishtis, and the breathing rhythms. These core techniques are so simple and yet so subtle that most practitioners overlook them. By exploring them, we'll find new freedom and ease in our practice.
