How I changed my mind about pranayama
“…When I first encountered pranayama (also known as breath meditation), I thought it was a complete waste of time.
I had been taking classes for a couple of years and had just found the instructor I later came to see as my first “real” yoga teacher. (Hint… she was from the Iyengar style of yoga).
One day she announced to the class, “Today we’re going to do some pranayama.” Huh? I thought. What’s that? Prana—what?
We did some simple resting poses and then some very basic breath-awareness exercises, followed by Savasana (Corpse Pose).
I wasn’t thrilled. I wanted a workout, to get strong and stretched out.
…But my real luck lay in my teacher’s dogged persistence. Month after month, she kept teaching pranayama, and month after month I kept resisting it—though I did occasionally show up for class.
…And then one day something inside me suddenly clicked, and I changed my mind.”
This story is from Tony Briggs. I myself use pranayama (aka breath meditation) to meditate in Darwin, and online. But wherever students are, they have sometimes said much the same thing to me.

Science can now explain why it works
In his story in the Yoga Journal, Tony goes on to say.
“… Many people are aware of the theory in modern physics that matter and energy are just different manifestations of the same thing.
So one way to look at the body or body-mind is as a cloud of energy—a cloud of energy so concentrated that it’s visible.
Prana is just another word for that energy. Prana is the energy that moves the universe, or that is the universe.
So pranayama—literally, “control of prana”—isn’t just breathing exercises.
Through pranayama, you use the breath to affect the constellation of energy that is your body-mind.”
All of this is a key reason that pranayama gives you energy.
Tony also talks about some other key benefits he go from breath meditation:
“… Despite my original dislike of pranayama, I can testify that it’s worth your effort.
After a while, I began to notice that during the 15 or 20 minutes I was practising, I felt calmer, quieter, more centred, more in touch with the pulses of my breath, body, and mind.”
So, in short, that’s why, as I meditate in Darwin, I’m offering you ten free classes, I want everyone to have be able to try this powerful form of meditation. Then they can make up their own mind.
Ten free pranayama classes
This free offer is not a gimmick. I just understand, as Tony says in his story, that our pre-determined views often stand in the way of trying something new.
Breath meditation is also something that you need to do for a while, so as to give it sufficient time.
As I said, so that you too can give pranayama a try, here are TEN free pranayama (breath meditation) classes.
At the above link, if you wish, you can also learn much more about pranayama (aka breath meditation).
The free passes are for free for two groups of people. First, they are free for existing Flametree students who’ve never done pranayama with me (or Flametree) before.
Second, there are ten free classes for students who are entirely new to Flametree.
To do pranayama classes, including to use this free offer, you also need to have completed 6 weeks of Flametree’s beginner level classes, or their equivalent. In other words, you need to be a non-beginner at yoga.
The reason is that you need to build some strength and openness in the lungs. That will then allow you to get more from pranayama, and do it effectively.

Beginner deals for meditation Cairns students, & far beyond
Maybe you want to try breath meditation, but you have not yet done beginner yoga.
In that case, I suggest that you try beginner level yoga classes with 2 weeks free to start. You can start these beginner level classes immediately.
As soon as you’ve done at least six weeks of beginner yoga, you can then try our 10 free classes of pranayama.
As I mentioned, beginner yoga will strengthen your body, calm your mind, and prepare you for the best breath meditation.
Flametree offer all of its beginner yoga classes both online, and in four studios in Darwin, or both.
The next 4 week beginner yoga course, with up to 2 weeks free, is one good way to start. The course is also included in the Beginner Level classes.
The difference between the options is that the beginner course is a six week package deal, whereas the beginner level is paid for by the week.
The beginner poses are easy, introductory poses. There are even special, optional beginner classes like Gentle Yoga, Backcare Yoga, and Easy Restorative Yoga.
You can see all options and classes at the beginner timetable, including an international time zone converter, where classes are in your local time.
