Foundational Breathwork and Postures for Meditation

Many beginners struggle to maintain stillness during meditation due to physical discomfort, stiffness, or restlessness. This course provides the foundational physical preparation required for a stable and comfortable practice, ensuring your body supports your mind rather than distracting it. By mastering simple preparatory techniques, you can sit longer and deeper. What you'll learn: * Understand the principles of spinal alignment and physical stability necessary for sustained seated comfort. * Practice foundational postures (asanas) designed to open the hips, stretch the spine, and relieve tension before sitting. * Master the technique of Nadi Sodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) for balancing energy and calming the nervous system. * Apply methods for adapting traditional seated postures using props like cushions and blankets to support your unique body. * Learn how simple pranayama exercises regulate the nervous system to reduce physical and mental restlessness. We begin by defining stability and alignment, then move through practical, written instructions for preparatory movements, concluding with detailed guidance on breath control and adapting your sitting environment. This course is designed for absolute beginners in meditation or yoga who want to eliminate physical distractions and deepen their practice. No prior experience is required.
