Going Deeper: Breathing for Life—The Principles, Foundations and Practice of Prāṇāyāma

“Knowledge more secret than the science of breath, wealth more useful than the science of breath, a friend truer than the science of breath, has never been seen or heard of.” —Śivagama

This quarterly pranayama series, Going Deeper: Breathing for Life—The Principles, Foundations and Practice of Prāṇāyāma is a continuation of Richard Miller’s year-long course.

If you’ve studied prāṇāyāma with Richard before and want ongoing support for your home practice, or to deepen your understanding, this 4-session series is for you.

You’ll continue exploring the underlying philosophy, theory, structure, energetics, and practice of prāṇāyāma live online with Richard and your community in 2023. Each session will support you in maintaining a regular and effective prāṇāyāma practice.

Each session includes a lecture, an in-depth guided practice, and extended time for Q&A. Between sessions, you can ask Richard your questions and connect with your fellow community members.

All registrants receive:

• Four 2-hour live online sessions
• An exploration of the underlying philosophy, theory, structure, energetics, and practice of prāṇāyāma
• Updated and new prāṇāyāma session material
• Recordings of each session which will be available until February 6, 2024.
• Access to the Participant Resources Page with a forum for asking Richard your questions any time and exploring the teachings with your community

These four sessions are open to:

• Participants of the 2022 year-long prāṇāyāma course (whether you attended live or watched the recordings)
• Anybody who’s taken part in a prāṇāyāma Immersion through Soul of Yoga
