This begins with three sets of energizing bhastrika followed by a newer style breath (if you've been with me for a while) that acts to cool, soothe and rock the body to a state of relaxation and calm.

Shining skull breath, three parts breathing and bhastrika. Brief endocrine system health intro.

This is an awakening, invigorating breath practice!

The first 50 min is pranayama. Then we drop into 21 sets of a variation of surya namaskar.

Expect a lot of shining skull breath - kaphalabhati + breath holds up to 30 seconds.

Sage-ing the space, so to speak. Use breath to clear out the old. welcome the new.

This week will be a top 5 of my favourite breath sets. To start, the Kriya for Lymphatic System is one of my favourites. It is considered intermediate if you are brand new to pranayama and works specifically with your lymphatic system, the "bouncer" of your immunity. Enjoy!
