The Yoga Well Podcast

In this Viniyoga podcast, Chase connects yoga philosophy to breath based practice, the popularization of breathwork, and the 1,000-year tradition of yoga that gives these practices context. Listen in on our monthly Community Conversation, as Chase discusses the influence of Prāṇāyāma on Prāṇā. Within the popularization and proliferation of breathwork, there can be a tendency to explain yoga tools and techniques with descriptions of a Western allopathic focus. Chase reminds us of the ancient context and goal for these tools within a larger path of refining the human system and how it operates. Chase Bossart, Yoga Well's Executive Director, clarifies the foundational physiological understanding of yoga and how this relates to prāṇāyāma practices including concepts, applications, and tools in our program, Advanced Viniyoga Applications: Prāṇāyāma - Breathing in Viniyoga.

Welcome to our Viniyoga podcast where we explore yoga philosophy, yoga therapy, and yoga beyond physical postures. This episode with Chase Bossart, long-time student of Mr. Desikachar, focuses on breath centered yoga. Yoga philosophy gives us the pathway to influence our mood, or our state, into balance. The more out of balance we are, the more affected we are by the goings-on of life. This is true for our breath, too. The length of one's breathing is a manifestation of their state. This can work both ways. If you want to change your state, you are also talking about changing your metobolic rate, your emotions, your stability in your physicality, they all depend on each other. He addresses the concepts of: finding the rhythm that illustrates the state you are in, adjusting one element at a time, and maintaining a rhythm tham allows for a state change.
