Summary

Prana, the vital energy present in the air that we breathe, links our inner and outer environments and connects us with all beings and all nature. The volume and quality of prana that circulates within our bodies determines the level of our vitality, and this internal reserve of energy can be increased and purified by pranayama, or consicous breathing. On Pranayama, Nubia Teixeira will guide you through a restorative practice interweaving these breathing techniques with open-hearted-meditation, visualization, and singing. Nubia is joined by celebrated world music artist Jai Uttal and his longtime collaborator Ben Leinbach, who provide a vibrant new soundscape of progressive world music to enhance your pranayama practice. Nubia Teixeira started practicing yoga at the age of 16. Borrowing from different traditions, teachers, and cultures, she has developed a teaching style that is flexible, spontaneous, and sensitive to the needs of her students. Her classes are rooted in the heart of Bhakti, incorporating the alignment of Iyengar Yoga, the fluidity of Ashtanga Vinyasa, and a passion for all forms of dance.
