WORKSHOPS
PRANAYAMA WORKSHOP
What: Join guest teacher, Ellie, as she takes us into a deeper practice exploring and utilizing the benefits of our breath! This pranayama workshop is intended for yogis of all experience levels. Pranayama, or the regulation of breath, is considered a pillar of yoga; our breath is often referred to as the heartbeat of the practice. The focus will be on learning to use your breath to support and extend your practice. We will use different breathing techniques to relax our bodies and match movement to breath to regulate and elevate our practice. Workshop activities will include meditation, breathing exercises, group discussion, and a Vinyasa flow.
About Ellie:
Ellie grew up in Mount Vernon, where she actively participated in dance and gymnastics. In graduate school, she developed a regular yoga practice as a healthy balance to running and weight training. As a lifelong dancer, she was immediately struck by the required grace and mindfulness as well as the community and individual nature of the practice. What she was not expecting was the amount of stress relief she felt from the inward focus required through the practice.Elizabeth completed Baptiste Affiliated Studio Cleveland Yoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and is a registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance. She lives in Cleveland where she works as a biomedical engineer, offers personal yoga training, and is a yoga instructor at Case Western’s One to One Fitness. Her motivation in teaching yoga is to combine her knowledge of human anatomy and physiology with her yoga training to be of service to overwhelmed and overworked populations.
