Pranayama

🤍 Private Pranayama Classes in Singapore – Restore Breath, Reclaim Balance
 

Led by an experienced, certified yoga teacher, private Pranayama sessions offer a refined, breath-focused practice that supports physical, emotional, and neurological well-being.

Whether integrated into a full yoga practice or explored on its own, Pranayama (yogic breath control) offers a powerful pathway to calm, clarity, and inner stability.

 

Each session is fully personalised to your breath capacity, lifestyle needs, and therapeutic goals—whether you seek stress reduction, emotional balance, energy regulation, or better sleep.

 

🌬️ What Is Pranayama?
 

Pranayama, from the Sanskrit prana (vital energy) and ayama (expansion or regulation), is a longstanding yogic method of breath control.

Developed within traditional Hatha and Raja Yoga systems, it has evolved as a practical tool to support respiratory efficiency, autonomic regulation, and mental clarity.

 

Practices include both calming and energising techniques—such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Bhramari (humming bee breath), Ujjayi, and Kapalabhati—designed to regulate the autonomic nervous system, balance energy channels (nadis), and quiet the fluctuations of the mind.

 

🧠 Scientific Research on the Power of Breath
 

Modern science now supports what ancient yogis long understood: Pranayama has measurable effects on health and wellbeing.
 

  • Stress & Anxiety: Controlled breathing stimulates the vagus nerve and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calm and reducing cortisol levels [Jerath et al., 2006].
     

  • Sleep & Insomnia: Slow, rhythmic breathing improves sleep quality and reduces time to fall asleep [Goyal et al., 2014].
     

  • Cardiovascular Health: Regular Pranayama practice can lower blood pressure, improve heart rate variability, and enhance vascular function [Sharma et al., 2013].
     

  • Lung Function: Techniques like Bhastrika and Kapalabhati improve respiratory endurance and pulmonary capacity, especially in those with asthma or bronchitis [Saoji et al., 2019].
     

  • Cognitive Function: Improved oxygenation and reduced sympathetic arousal have been linked to enhanced attention, memory, and emotional regulation [Brown & Gerbarg, 2005].
     

Breath is not merely air moving in and out of the lungs—it is a regulator of mood, cognition, and physiological resilience.

 

🌀 What to Expect in a Private Pranayama Session
 

🧘 Tailored Breath Techniques
Each session is guided based on your breath pattern, energy levels, and health history.

Techniques may include calming (e.g., Nadi Shodhana, Dirgha), balancing (e.g., Anulom Vilom), or energising (e.g., Kapalabhati, Bhastrika) approaches.

 

🌬 Emphasis on Breath Awareness
Sessions begin with breath observation and gentle awareness techniques, helping you reconnect with your natural rhythm and bring unconscious patterns into clarity.

 

🪷 Supportive Environment & Posture
Pranayama is practised seated or supine, with props if needed for spinal alignment and comfort.
Each technique is introduced progressively and supported with clear, safe guidance.
