Beyond Asanas: Breath, Mind & Neuroscience
Presented by Adrián only. Each session is standalone. Can be attended as a complete block.
Breathing is the most vital function of the body — and yet it's one we rarely pay attention to. Ancient yogic practices and modern neuroscience offer powerful tools to regulate the breath, calm the nervous system, and sharpen the mind.
Each 2-hour session explores breath as a bridge between yoga, pranayama, functional breathing, mindfulness, and neuroscience. Sessions can be attended individually or together as a coherent journey from regulation to clarity to integration.
Session 1 – Calm & Regulation: Discover the foundations of yogic and functional breathing and nervous system regulation.
