Laura Bliek
Certified Pranayama Teacher in lineage of KaivalyadhamaPranayama is not performed by the power of will. The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one's hand.
This 14-month training offers a structured study of pranayama and deepening of personal practice
while supporting the ability to teach pranayama and hatha with clarity, confidence and safety.
