Physiology & Psychology of Pranayama

In a single day, we breathe between 10,000 and 20,000 liters of air into our lungs; depending on breathing habits, physical condition and movement/activity. That's a huge amount! A liter of air at 20 degrees C weighs about 1.2 grams. Altogether we breathe in and out 12-24 kg per day. That's roughly 10 to 15 times the amount of food we eat. This small calculation already shows how important our breathing is, and how little we actively think about it in our everyday life. 

In this workshop, participants learn the basics of yogic pranayama coupled with modern insights into the physiological and psychological effects of the techniques.
