Hatha Yoga:

✓ Integration of the polarities: Hatha Yoga integrates effort and relaxation in each posture, developing strength without rigidity and surrender or comfort without losing oneself.                                                                                                                 

✓ The body as a vehicle for the subtle: Through the practice of āsana, a firm foundation is created, where breath regulation and focused attention allow us to deepen the experience of the self, moving from the dense to the subtle.

✓ Expansion of conscious breathing: Pranayama regulates prana (vital energy), expands awareness of the respiratory system, reduces mental agitation, and cultivates a state of presence, stability, and inner clarity.

MindfulYoga

With the practice of MindFulYoga, we enter the attentional dimensions of Yoga—what in classical Yoga are called the inner limbs of Yoga. We cultivate awareness of the body through pure proprioception (even without the practice of āsanas themselves). Contemplating Patañjali’s eight aṅgas, we begin with prāṇāyāma (the conscious regulation of the breath), followed by pratyāhāra (inner withdrawal), dhāraṇā (concentration), and gradually move toward dhyāna (meditation)—the subtle, internal stages of Yoga.

In addition, our MindfulYoga practices integrate techniques of mindfulness, offering you effective tools to navigate daily stress with clarity and ease. Discover a new pathway to integral well-being.

✓ Awareness of bodily sensations:
The body becomes a field of direct observation, supporting deep self-exploration.

✓ The body as a vehicle:
The body is understood as a vehicle. Through the practice of asana, a steady foundation is established; conscious breath regulation and focused attention allow us to deepen the experience of Being, moving from the dense to the subtle.

✓ Internal practices that refine perception:
These are tools that channel energy, quiet the mind, and open the doorway to higher states of consciousness. We explore interiorization and concentration through various supports, cultivating the conditions that facilitate the arising of the meditative attitude.

Prāṇāyāma is one of the fundamental pillars of classical Yoga.
It is the science of conscious breathing, understanding the breath as a significant act that can be performed both consciously and unconsciously. When practiced with awareness, it becomes one of the primary ways to connect with prāṇa, the subtle “universal energy,” finer than ether, which permeates the entire cosmos.

History and context:

The concept of prāṇāyāma has its roots in the Vedas, where the breath is associated with the vital force that animates all beings.

• Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali (2.49–2.53):
  Patañjali describes prāṇāyāma as the extension and regulation of the breath, serving as a means for dhāraṇā (concentration) and the purification of the mind.

• Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā (15th century):
  It explains specific prāṇāyāma techniques and their relationship with the nāḍīs and chakras, emphasizing that proper breath practice awakens latent energy (kuṇḍalinī).

Breathing is the physiological function most directly connected with prāṇa.
Prāṇāyāma is the expansion of the breath that regulates and controls—in space, time, and number—all respiratory functions.
(Swami Digambarananda, 2018)
