Mantra, Prana, Dharana ~ Pranayama with Mantra
--- available as a 3 or 4 hour workshop ---
"Mantra adds power to pranayama. Increased prana
accelerates mantra benefits. Synchronized mantra
and pranayama can develop dharana, focused
concentration of life energies.
Resulting gains in physical health & greater mental
vitality empower progress in personal goals.
Strengthened dharana is a prerequisite to advanced
yoga experiences & outcomes.” Bill Francis Barry
“During the practice of pranayama, repeat the mantra, mentally synchronizing its silent flow”
B K S Iyengar
“Pranayama is of two types, one done without mantras and the other with mantras.”
