To ensure a safe and supportive container for this depth of work, we require at least one year of consistent physical practice. We limit our cohorts to 20 students, allowing us to address individual nuances and provide the direct guidance necessary for this kind of traditional breathwork. ### Moving Beyond Asana Many practitioners reach a plateau where movement alone is not enough to satisfy the hunger for deeper growth. This is where Pranayama becomes essential. Following the teachings of the *Hatha Yoga Pradipika*, we believe that one must first be established in asana—meaning the physical body and breath are controlled—before progressing to the subtle work of pranayama. Rushing into these practices without a foundation can be unsustainable and, at times, unsettling. ### What Our Sadhana Involves Our intensive Pranayama workshops are designed to purify energy channels (Nadis) and bring the mind into a sattvic, or balanced, state. Over the course of the 5-day intensive at our Whitefield studio, we cover: * **Traditional Breathwork:** Moving through foundational to advanced retention techniques. * **Shatkarmas:** Gentle cleansing techniques that prepare the body for pranayama. * **Philosophy & Discourse:** Daily sessions where we explore yogic texts like the *Yoga Sutras*, ensuring you understand the 'why' behind the 'how'. * **Sakshi Bhava:** Cultivating the state of the 'detached witness' to help you navigate life's challenges with equanimity. ### A Supportive Environment We keep our batches small to ensure that every student receives individual attention. Whether we are practicing Nadi Shodhana to clear the energy channels or sitting for meditative discussion, the focus is always on your personal trajectory. This is a space to address doubts, share the collective energy of the group, and refine your practice in a way that respects the tradition rather than rushing through techniques for the sake of completion. If you are ready to stop just 'doing' yoga and start truly 'living' it, we invite you to join our next cycle. ## About Pratyaksha Yoga We are Pratyaksha Yoga. We believe that real progress begins when you unroll your mat and look inward, which is why we guide you with questions rather than simple answers. Our work in Whitefield focuses on helping you find your own path, just like our teachers did for us.
