Short answer: this is Flametree’s introductory breathwork training: a three-day pranayama (breath meditation) mini course taught live by Chris Lalor, in the Woolner studio or live online on Zoom.

What the breathwork training covers
- Three one-hour classes over a long weekend, live in the studio or online.
- Key pranayama techniques: Ujjayi, Viloma, Bhramari, Nadi Shodhana and Anuloma.
- Guided breath meditation for sleep and for calm.
- Meditation sequences: which technique to use, in what order.

Who it suits
Students with at least 3 months of yoga. Yoga builds the strength to sit tall, opens the chest for this kind of breathing and settles a busy mind. You sit on a chair or lie down, so there is no difficult pose and no need to sit cross-legged.
Chris Lalor is an accredited Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher and has practised pranayama daily for over 25 years. She has trained in the pranayama classes of both Geeta Iyengar and Prashant Iyengar.

Meditation breathwork: what it means
Meditation breathwork is breath meditation, which is another name for pranayama: slow, guided yoga breathing used to settle the mind. You follow the breath and shape it gently, instead of trying to empty your head.
This course teaches the main techniques step by step, so you can use them on your own afterwards. They include Ujjayi, Viloma, Bhramari, Nadi Shodhana and Anuloma. You learn which technique to use, and in what order, to calm your mind and to help you sleep. The teacher, Chris Lalor, coaches you as you practise.
Student feedback on recent Breath Meditation Introduction
Jo was an online attendee at our recent Introduction. She told us:
“I loved attending the last Introduction To Pranayama weekend over Easter.
It was great to come back each day and feel the level of calm intensify.
The videos you provided of the weekend have also been great to use while I’ve been travelling too.
I have a more rested sleep after doing pranayama.
Thank you Chris for your expert instruction.”
Lynden, who was in the studio at the last Introduction, said:
“Simply the very best way to start the day!
As a lapsed Pranayama student it feels like coming home!”
(with 5 stars on Google Flametree Reviews).
Nico, a long term Flametree student, said:
“Bhramari … is a wonderful way to start (or finish) your day.
You will feel more grounded, focussed and energised doing this practice. Thank you Chris.”🙏🏼🐝🙏🏼🐝🙏🏼🐝

Mindfulness Darwin training, in-studio or online, is an important part of mindful eating. As Dr Timothy McCall, an American medical doctor and yoga therapist who studied with Mr BKS Iyengar, author of Yoga as Medicine, explains, it helps get control of eating driven by emotions.
More Breathwork courses, if breathwork training schedules permit
We hope that this very useful breathwork training is the first of our new series of pranayama breathwork courses.
We introduced this breathwork course because we found people needed this training first. Any free pranayama class offer needs the Introductory pranayama course done first, so check the offer on the pranayama class page.
At this point, we hope to do more courses. But of course, it’s especially hard to find good trainers at Pranayama. Chris’ skills and breathwork training time are in short supply. Frankly, at this point, we don’t know when another course may be scheduled.
When new dates are set, they will appear on this page.
Chris’s powerful personal story of pranayama
In her personal story of her yoga journey, Chris talks about how pranayama breath meditation has helped with mindset, positivity, health conditions, and more.
Among many powerful statements, she says that as a result of doing regular breathwork: “… pranayama keeps me sane”
She goes on to say:
“…On the days that I miss my pranayama practice I know I am more irritable, less patient and far less compassionate towards others.”
At another point, she says:
“The various pranayama breathing practices give me energy as they deliver blood to every part of my body.
But most of all I love and appreciate how they quieten my mind, help me relax, and remain humble.
I am in awe of their power to show me the way towards a healthy and happy life.”
Chris Lalor teaches the best mindfulness Darwin & online course. Try it.
This Breathwork course will mostly be one in a lying position, such as you see in the this picture. I (Chris) also show you how to use a chair, as I’ve outlined above. By the way, 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.

A mindfulness meditation practice for your daily life
Flametree students and teachers, also find that the emotional regulation from mindfulness meditation, helps control any unwanted strong emotions, such as anger.
Instead, their daily lives are filled with more inner peace, and living in the present moment.
In turn, their nervous system is less stressed, and any possible mental health issues are more easily managed.
So the practices you’ll learn in this in-studio and online breathwork course are a powerful tool for the modern world.
Flametree’s convenient, short “meditation retreat” is one of the best mind adventures of Darwin.
You’ll get a mindfulness based life enhancement to transform the original condition of your life.
Plus, you’ll be in the very safe training hands made possible by the extensive experience of accredited teacher of breathwork, Chris Lalor.
