About this class

What Pranayama Sessions is really about

Pranayama is yoga's least understood and most powerful tool. Long before we move the body, we learn to move the breath — because every emotion, every state, every level of energy is shaped by how we breathe. At Aikia, we teach pranayama in the precise sequence the classical texts prescribe, with attention to the contraindications that the YouTube version usually skips.

Why join

The benefits you'll feel

Real, observable changes — most of them within the first month.

Greater lung capacity

Most adults use less than 50% of theirs. Pranayama doubles usable capacity within months.

Lower blood pressure

Slow breathing has been shown to lower BP measurably without medication.

More energy

Done correctly, pranayama leaves you with the alert calm of strong coffee — without the crash.

Calms anxiety

The vagus nerve is directly stimulated by extended exhalations. The body cannot panic.

Boosts metabolism

Kapalabhati and bhastrika visibly raise core temperature and metabolic activity.

Clears the airways

Especially helpful for asthma, allergies and post-COVID recovery.

Curriculum

What you'll learn

A structured curriculum, not a random sequence of postures. Every class builds on the last.

Who this is for:

Anyone with respiratory concerns (asthma, allergies, sinusitis, post-COVID), professionals in high-stress roles, public speakers and singers, students preparing for exams, and anyone who simply wants more energy without caffeine.

Diaphragmatic breathing — the foundation everything else rests on
Three-part yogic breath (Dirga pranayama)
Anuloma Viloma (alternate-nostril) — the most balancing of all techniques
Kapalabhati — the cleansing breath
Bhastrika — the bellows breath for energy
Bhramari — the humming breath for calm
Sheetali and Sheetkari — cooling breaths
Ujjayi — the ocean breath used through asana practice
When NOT to do each technique (an essential and rarely-taught part)

In their words

From students of this class

"As an asthmatic for 20 years, I came here skeptical. Six months on, my inhaler use has dropped by more than half. My doctor is curious enough that he's now studying the techniques himself."

— Sandeep P., Bommanahalli

"I sing semi-professionally. Pranayama has changed my breath control more than any vocal coaching ever did."

— Maya V., HSR Layout

FAQ

Common questions

Is pranayama safe if I have high blood pressure?

Yes — but only certain techniques. Kapalabhati and bhastrika are not for hypertensives. Anuloma viloma and bhramari are excellent. This is exactly why a teacher matters.

Can I learn pranayama from videos?

You can learn the form, but the safety nuances and the precise tempo are what makes it work — and those need a real teacher.

Should I do pranayama before or after asana?

Classically: gentle pranayama before, intensive pranayama after. We follow that sequencing.

Do I need to be experienced in yoga first?

No. Some pranayama can be taught from day one. Others require some asana foundation. We'll guide you appropriately.
