Guided Breathwork and Pranayama Sessions Online

You do not need a retreat to find stillness. In my sessions, we focus on consistent habits, like using Trataka (candle gazing) to reduce screen fatigue or practicing Nadi Shuddhi to calm anxiety before bed. It is not just about holding your breath; it is about how you move and rest. If you are struggling with a racing mind or poor sleep, we start by fixing your posture during these techniques so you are actually getting the relief you need, instead of just going through the motions.

Beyond Just Sitting and Breathing

Many students come to me thinking pranayama is just sitting cross-legged and taking deep breaths. It is so much more. It is about nervous system regulation. When you are stressed, your breathing becomes shallow. We use specific techniques to hack that response and bring you back to balance.

My Approach to Breathwork

• Focus & Screen Fatigue: For those of us stuck on laptops all day, Trataka is incredible. It builds concentration and helps eye strain. We use the gaze to quiet the mind.
• Cooling Down: When life feels like a heatwave, we use cooling techniques like Sheetkari and Chandra Bhedana. These are perfect for calming the body when you feel overwhelmed.
• Anxiety Relief: Bhramari (Bee Breath) is my go-to for anyone dealing with insomnia or panic. The sound vibration helps settle the mind instantly. Aiyo, it sounds a bit funny when you do it, but the effect is real.

The Common Mistake: Posture

You cannot breathe fully with a collapsed chest. If you slouch, your lungs cannot expand. In my classes, we spend time ensuring your spine is supported, either through props like blocks and pillows or specific asanas, so the breath flows naturally.

Whether you have five minutes or forty-five, the key is the intention behind every inhale and exhale. We don't rush into complicated patterns. We build up, ensuring you are doing it safely. Let’s stop the mindless scrolling and actually give your mind a break.
