Mantra, Prana, Dharana ~ Pranayama with Mantra
Workshop as Personalized Tutorial option

"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.”
 Sri T Krishnamacharya
