Is there more to yoga than just poses?
In this special workshop with guest teacher Ganesh Balachandran, Ph.D., you’ll explore the subtle practice of bandhas the internal “locks” used to guide and stabilize the body’s vital energy, or Prana.
Through practical techniques, breathwork, and insights from the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras, you’ll learn how the bandhas refine your breath, strengthen your core and digestion, calm the mind, and transform your asana practice from physical exercise into deep energetic work.
Whether you’re a dedicated student or a teacher looking to better understand and communicate these concepts, this workshop offers tangible tools to regulate energy, ground the mind, and bring yoga’s deeper wisdom into everyday life.

How to activate and apply the bandhas in your practice
How working with Prana and bandhas enhances clarity, focus, and energy flow
