*English with Japanese intepretation

Breathing well is vitally important to all of us. It is connected to and can shape your whole existence. But often we breathe in an unnatural and conditioned way without us even knowing it. Returning to free-flowing, complete breathing infuses the body with calm strength and invigorates the mind with the clarity of awareness. Harmonious Breathing differs from other Yoga by the integration of movement and breathing.

• Correct postural habits that constrict the breath
• Understand how natural alignment and rhythm in your breathing helps you let go of unnecessary physical and psychological tension
• Exercise passive and active breathings
• Practice ways to maintain presence and awareness of breath during yoga and everyday movement

*Program will be varied according to the students and the conditions
