What Pranayama & Meditation is
The half of yoga that is not asana, taught in the order the tradition teaches it: the breath first, steadied and lengthened, and only then the attention. Grounded in Patanjali, practised rather than lectured, and paced so nothing is attempted before the step before it is comfortable.
Steady the breath and the mind follows. That is the whole method.
What they will learn
- Diaphragmatic breathing, and how to tell whether you are actually doing it
- Nadi shodhana, ujjayi, bhramari and sheetali, with ratios introduced gradually
- Kapalabhati and bhastrika, with the cautions that belong to them
- Meditation: trataka, japa and breath awareness, held for a workable length of time
What the benefits are
- A way to steady yourself that needs no mat, no clothes and no room
- Attention that can be brought back on purpose
- The classical basis under the practices apps sell in pieces
How the 45 minutes run
- A brief loosening, so sitting still is possible
- The pranayama of the week, counted aloud together
- Meditation, guided and then progressively unguided
- A short daily sitting to keep between classes
What they still have in twenty years
A way to steady yourself that needs nothing at all (no mat, no room, no equipment) and is therefore available to you for the rest of your life.

Before you book. Yoga classes are a practice, not medical treatment. Tell us about any injury, surgery, pregnancy or condition before your first class, and speak to your doctor if you are under treatment. We do not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and a teacher will tell you plainly when a posture is not for you.
