woo-woo is so delighted to launch our very first training intensive: a 30-hour prānāyām training with the incredible tash francesca.

-----

please join us for this hybrid training experience, offered irl at woo-woo the weekend of jan 29-feb 2, 2025 and virtually over the following weeks.

prānāyām is often used interchangeably with breath work, however in its most classical and essential form prānāyām is defined as energy (prān) expansion (āyām) and is the beginning of a true yogic practice.

as a student, you’ll walk away excited to spend time quieting the mind, tuning inwards, and giving yourself space outside of the noise of everyday life to understand who the self truly is. when we connect intimately to that primordial self through the simplicity of practice, we invite in a conscious way of living that is rich and has real capacity to enrich daily living.

as a teacher, you’ll have confidence incorporating a variety of prānāyām practices into your meditative practice as well as your movement practice. we’ll dive deep into the anatomy of breath from a physiological perspective and spend lots of time getting to know yoga philosophy along the way.

topics we’ll cover:

〰️ anatomy of breath
〰️ chakra system
〰️ kriya
〰️ patañjali’s 8 limb path
〰️ teaching in a group setting
〰️ enhancing personal practice
〰️ nervous system connection
〰️ nidrā and rest
〰️ and more!

-----

this practice is for you if you:
〰️ are interested in embodying the roots of yoga,
〰️ are a teacher wanting to confidently offer a complete yoga practice beyond asana,
〰️ are looking to supplement your existing movement practice,
〰️ would like to incorporate and ease into a meditation routine,
〰️ want to add to your tool kit for care and nervous system regulation,
〰️ you're curious about yoga philosophy but don’t quite know where to start,
〰️ want to better connect to yourself and your students,
〰️ want to not just memorize, but fully embody the elements present in this work.
