Cultivating Pranic Awareness

Awareness of prana — the subtle life force — is central to the Himalayan Institute’s approach to yoga and meditation. In this complete practice, breath training establishes focus, while breath-aligned movement incorporates navel center activation to cultivate pranic awareness and support stability in postures. The class concludes with guided relaxation and a five-step meditation, beginning with breath awareness and deepening into sensitivity to prana at the center of the forehead.
