Prana means breath or energy, Yama means to control, to master.  Prana yama yoga emphasizes awareness of the breath during asanas while holding the poses. This yoga practice works on steadiness, balance and flexibility.  During the practice we focus on calmness of mind, slowness of breath and relaxation of body. Through the practice of prana yama yoga we gain the ability to purify and balance the mind and body.This yoga class is for all levels.
