The Ujjayi Pranayama: Beyond the Sound | Open Lesson
The distinct sound of Ujjayi arises naturally and is not consciously produced. It does not come from the vocal cords, but from the gentle friction created as the breath moves through the throat. The sound is subtle and it feels as though it is perceived by the brain rather than heard by the ears.

Hatha Yoga: A Practical Approach
The subtle energy thats is so brimming within transmutes into sound (nada) and vibration (spada). Now, the mind has something to ride on for meditation to happen steadily. I attained my first Samadhi by listening to the nada and it has grown so profoundly through time.

The Plavini Pranayama
Plavini is best practised after your asana sequence, to help cool and restore the body. It is also ideal after more active pranayama, where it helps to distribute the awakened energy evenly through the nadis (the body’s energetic channels). This balancing prepares you naturally for meditation.

[Part One] Brahmacharya – Preservation of the Bindu | With Guided Techniques
As this energy becomes more refined, it naturally begins to transform into inner sound (nada) and pulsation (spada). These energetic byproducts are not imaginary; they become clearly perceivable in deep states of practice, especially when the bandhas (energetic seals) are applied with accuracy and sensitivity.

Developing the Bandhas Part Two: A Safe and Meaninful Journey into the Pranic Body
When they become too dominant in your system, they can begin to override your body’s natural rhythms. For instance, they can subtly shift how you breathe – you’ll find yourself breathing through the bandhas, which in itself is a beautiful evolution.

Good Friday Lesson: The Four Paths to Samadhi | A Personal Experience
In time, I’ve grown to recognise four powerful approaches that can open the door to Samadhi. They may appear unrelated at first glance, but upon deeper reflection, these methods are beautifully interconnected. And though there are many traditions and techniques out there, ultimately they all aim toward the same truth — the same still point…

Sadhana 2025: The Complete 7-Day Home Retreat Experience
A retreat doesn’t always need to happen in remote mountains or far-off ashrams. In fact, my sadhana takes place right at home. I use this time as an opportunity to step into a quieter, more intentional way of living. It’s a chance to reconnect deeply with my own practice and nourish what often gets overlooked…

Understanding the Kandasana: Beyond Contortion – Open Lesson
Hovering just above the pelvic floor within the hips is a soft, cloud-like essence enclosed in a white sheath -this is the Kanda Nadi. ‘Kanda’ means ‘root,’ as it is the origin point from which the three primary nadis – Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, emerge.

Khechari Mudra and the Inner Intelligence
The technique itself is actually easy to achieve, but its true power unfolds over time. As the body adjusts, Khechari deepens naturally. I’ve come to see it not just as a practice but as a bridge that links the physical effort with the innate intelligence of prana
