Breathwork For Anxiety, Stress And Better Sleep - by Olga Ruiz Pilato
COURSE

Breathwork For Anxiety, Stress And Better Sleep

With Olga Ruiz Pilato

This course is a step-by-step journey into the ancient art of pranayama: the yogic science of the breath. You’ll learn how to use your breath not only to support the body, but to calm the mind, balance your emotions, and awaken the vital life force within you. Across seven modules, we will explore both the philosophy and the practice of pranayama. You’ll begin by discovering what prana truly is, and why the yogic tradition calls it the bridge between body and mind. From there, you’ll learn the foundations of breathing, guidelines for safe practice, and classic techniques passed down by the sages of India, including Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalabhati (breath of fire), Bhastrika (bellows breath), Bhramari (humming bee breath), and Udgeeth (OM breath). Each module combines clear explanations with guided practice so that you not only understand pranayama, but also experience its effects directly. By the end of the course, you will: Gain a deep understanding of what pranayama is and why it is essential to yoga. Learn how to breathe with awareness and recognise the four main types of yogic breathing. Practice powerful techniques for calming, energising, and balancing body and mind. Understand traditional guidelines for practice, including posture, time of day, and preparation. Develop a personal pranayama toolkit you can use anytime - for stress relief, focus, relaxation, or inner connection. This course is for anyone; from beginners curious about breathwork to experienced practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond the physical postures. With consistency, you’ll discover that your own breath holds the key to inner peace, vitality, and clarity.
