When: October 12–19, 2025 | Lunita Jungle Retreat Center


What is Pranayama and How Does It Support Healing?

Pranayama, often referred to as the practice of breath control, plays a vital role in yoga. It involves techniques designed to regulate and enhance the flow of prana—life force—within the body.


By mastering these breathing practices, participants can experience:

  • Mental clarity

  • Emotional balance

  • Physical vitality


Pranayama Techniques You Will Learn

During the Inner Light Retreat, you will learn and practice a variety of Pranayama techniques, including:


  • Ujjayi (Ocean Breath) – A soothing breath producing a gentle sound reminiscent of ocean waves. Promotes relaxation, calms the nervous system, and enhances concentration during asana practice.


  • Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) – A powerful cleansing technique using short, forceful exhales followed by passive inhales. Energizes the body, clears the mind, and promotes clarity.


  • Bhramari (Humming Bee Breath) – Involves producing a humming sound while exhaling. Helps reduce anxiety, improve concentration, and foster inner peace.


  • Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) – A balancing breath alternating between nostrils. Harmonizes the nervous system, calms the mind, and enhances focus.


  • Bhastrika (Bellow Breath) – A vigorous technique involving rapid inhalations and exhalations. Boosts energy, improves lung capacity, and stimulates the mind.


  • Durga (Three-Part Breath) – Encourages full, conscious breathing using diaphragm, chest, and upper lungs. Promotes relaxation, enhances lung capacity, and deepens connection to your breath.
