In this episode, we’re exploring the key differences between teaching asana and pranayama. While asana relies on variety, movement, and physical guidance, pranayama is rooted in simplicity, stillness, and vocal instruction. Asana can be energizing and dynamic, whereas pranayama offers a deeper, more introspective experience that leaves both teachers and students feeling calm and centered. If you’ve ever wondered how breathwork compares to movement-based yoga, this episode will give you a fresh perspective.
