ANATOMY OF BREATHING & DIAPHRAGMS

with Hugo Abecassis

January 30th-Feb 1st

"Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness" BKS Iyengar

Even in asana practice the breath plays a central role, as it underpins both the physiological effectiveness and the mindful quality of permanence and movement. 

Integrating anatomical knowledge of breathing softens and refines the practice and also helps practitioners recognise breath related patterns like holding or shallow respiration that may increase strain. 

PROGRAM

Some topics that will be covered in this workshop:

  • Breath in relation with asana practice

  • Breathing patters

  • Anatomy and physiology of breathing

  • Harmonizing the diaphragms (in a Sacro Craneal perspective).

  • Breathing mechanisms

  • Pranayama 

  • In asana practice, awareness of these anatomical structures supports efficient oxygen exchange while also facilitating neuromuscular coordination and proprioception.
