Pranayama for Beginners with an Indian master, Harshvardhan

Saturdays 12th November to 17th December 2022, 8:00 – 9:15AM

Experience the classical yoga practice based on scriptural principles and deeply rooted in tradition with an Indian master, Harshvardhan. This project of Pranayama for Beginners will help us develop a deeper awareness of our mind, body and breath.

Pranayama means the practice of breath regulation. It’s a main component of yoga, an exercise for physical and mental wellness. In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy (Qi in our Tai Chi term!) and “yama” means control. The practice of pranayama involves breathing exercises and patterns.

This is our third project under a FREE fitness/wellbeing yearly programme, funded by L&Q, for local residents and the surrounding communities living at Walthamstow Stadium and within one mile.
