Breathwork/Pranayama/Nidra

"Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health. If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly. There is no single more powerful - or more simple - daily practice to further your health and wellbeing than breathwork." Andrew Weil, M.D.

The flow of breath is the flow of Life. Through simple breathing exercises, Penny leads you back into a partnership with the receptivity and presence of breath within the body, therefore enhancing the presence of the flow of Life itself.

Exercises include circular breathing, techniques of Pranayama, and Nidra, along with an organic relationship to the breath flow that Penny has developed.
