In this 6-week series we will explore the connections between body, breath and mind. There will be discussions of the relationship between asana and pranayama and how pranayama fits into the overall scheme of ashtanga yoga, and the psychological effects of pranayama practice. Practice topics will include work on the seated position and jalandhara bandha, ongoing practice of ujjayi plus nadi shodana. Expect reading assignments. Pre-requisites: Two years’ asana experience in the Iyengar method. Required text: The Yoga of Breath by Richard Rosen.
“Prana is the energy permeating the Universe at all levels. It is physical, mental, intellectual, sexual, spiritual and cosmic energy. All vibrating energies are prana. It is energy which creates, protects and destroys.” —BKS IYENGAR

Tony Briggs has been teaching yoga for over 25 years in a humorous and direct way without compromise or new-age veneer. He is a true teacher, creating space for the kind of intimate but demanding relationship where students can genuinely explore themselves and grow. Tony encourages his students to tread the path of self-discovery with a cool head, a wide heart and a warm belly. He considers teaching a creative act that demands devotion, insight, spontaneity and leaps of faith. While Tony’s three decades of study in both India and the US include many years of Iyengar Yoga, his teaching is also deeply influenced by the insights and practices of Hua Shan Taoist Chi Gong. Tony is the founder and director of Turtle Island Yoga in Marin County , where he offers ongoing public classes, workshops and retreats.
