This breathwork course (and our video course of it), is taught by Chris Lalor. She’s an accredited Senior Yoga Teacher, and Breath Meditation Teacher, whose been practising pranayama daily for over 25 years. She’s trained in pranayama breath meditation classes of both Geeta Iyenyar, and Praschant Iyengar. In addition, she’s also extensively worked through all the major authors on breathwork of all types.

For clarification, the type of breathwork taught at Flametree, is also called breath meditation, guided meditation, pranyama, mindful meditation, and mindfulness training. It also includes specific techniques of breathwork that you’ll learn in this course, as outlined further below.

The many benefits of pranayama breath meditation

The benefits of such pranayama breathwork include clarity, perception, productivity, calmness, relaxation, energy, focus, and more.

It’s also especially useful for particular health issues, such as eating mindfully, reducing blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, strengthening the immune system, and asthma.

For more about the benefits, see the diagrams below.

The 10 pranayama classes, that you’ll get for free, are normally up to $21 each. By themselves, the 10 free classes normally have a total value of $210. (As mentioned, the 10 free classes are available for those who’ve not done this course before, and for those who’ve paid separately for this course).

So, with this breathwork course, you are getting huge value.

Best of all, this intensive pranayama course will kick your progress with a whole new dimension of your yoga and mindfulness journey.

In addition, for more on how pranayama breath meditation will actually help you do better yoga, see Flametree’s blog post about how yoga and pranayama reinforce each other.

This Introduction will also set you up to get major daily benefits from pranayama, whether you do it as part of Flametree’s 2 weekly classes, or in your home practice.

As you may be aware, breathwork of all types has accelerated in popularity in recent years. It’s due to a whole new range of research that again proves its power and effectiveness. Popular science authors, such as James Nestor, have also written extensively on breathwork of all types.

Breathwork training (aka mindfulness meditation) delivers a huge range of benefits

This diagram shows just some of the major benefits of breath meditation, and the increased mindfulness it produces. At this Introduction, you’ll get the best mindfulness Darwin has. For more about the mindful eating benefit, see the heading below.

When and where

The 3 long weekend classes, on June 10, 11, and 12.

Time: 8.30-9.30am. It’s early enough so you can get on with the rest of your long weekend. Or you can stay and do Chris Lalor’s Mixed Non-Beginner special focus classes on yoga for hips that will run each long weekend day from 9.45am-11.15am.

Prerequisites and conditions

Please only attend this Breathwork Introduction if you’ve done at least 3 months of yoga.

The reason is that yoga builds your strength for sitting, expands you chest for this type of pranayama breathing, and quietens your mind so it’s less agitated and fidget inclined!

If you’re already doing Flametree’s 2 weekly pranayama classes, then you are very welcome to attend this course. However, please bear in mind that this course is principally designed to get people ready to attend the weekly pranayama breath meditation classes.

However, I certainly acknowledge that the course could still be of interest and use to those who have done, or are doing our weekly pranayama classes. If you feel that applies to you, then I’d be, as always, delighted to see you. (Buy this pass, or use your regular passes to attend).

Mindful eating starts with getting mindful via breathwork

Mindfulness is the key ingredient of mindful eating.

Once you master mindful meditation, then you can relatively easily implement the other steps in mindful eating, such as those outlined in the diagram below.

So, if you’re interested in mindful eating, its another excellent reason to come too this breath meditation mini course.

For more, please see my new blog post on mindful eating and breath meditation.

Mindful meditation, like you’ll learn, is the key skill of mindful eating

Mindful eating, via mindful meditation, is one of the many benefits you’ll get from Flametree’s upcoming Breath Meditation mini course, as well as Flametree’s ongoing pranayama and / or yoga classes. Dr McCall says eating more mindfully, via yoga and mindfulness meditation, is a key way to manage eating and avoid the negative health impacts of not doing so. I’ve also outlined this in my blog post on mindful eating.

Mindfulness Darwin location, and breathwork online directions

The in-studio class is a 19B Bishop St., Woolner, NT. See directions on this Google map.

The workshop is also simultaneously LIVE online, via Zoom. You can see it, interact, and ask questions just like those in the yoga room.

For online classes, you’ll get a link as soon as you reserve the class. If you need it, here’s more about the 4 easy Zoom set-up steps for breathwork online.

Online breathwork, of all types, is extremely effective. A majority for Flametree’s breath meditation students do any of their 2 weekly pranayama classes online.

Set up and pranayama yoga props

At the studio, most props are supplied. However, please bring one or two thick towels. These will go under your head, so as to ensure you have the best height for breathwork.

Overall, you’ll be using blankets (plus your towels) for extending the chest. In addition, there’ll be bolsters to sit on if you wish, plus chairs (as below), belts, and pranayama sticks.

At home, online students should have at least 2 blankets, 2 beach (or thick) towels, and a kitchen chair. (Ideally, have a backless chair, as below. But it not, just be sure that it’s a chair that lets you sit up with a straight back).

Online students must have their camera on. That’s because you’ll be learning especially powerful techniques. So, the teacher needs to be able double check what your doing, and, if needed, give you some more tips. In addition, if you do some of these techniques incorrectly, you can give yourself a headache, or prevent yourself from getting the many powerful benefits.

Backless chairs are ideal for breath meditation and mindfulness

By the way, in the Mini Course, there’s no need to do any difficult pose, or even sit cross-legged. You sit in chairs, like you see with this post, or lie on the floor (with blanket & towel support). If you wish, a cheap but adequate version of a backless chair can be bought at Bunnings for around $10. There’s a picture of it on our page about yoga props. 

Pranayama class price, early bird, and reservations

The pass for this course, including all that’s listed above, is $59 until midnight on 9th June 2023. After that, it’s $69.
