Hi everyone. Welcome to an other episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. You already know I am very nerdy about Pranayama. And we've done many episodes about Pranayama on this podcast. And many of you have gone through or are going through my Pranayama immersive study program. So I am very excited to bring you another Pranayama episode

today and we go a lot deeper into slightly more in some moments of this conversation,

advanced pranayama territory. I have Prashant Jay on the show today. He is a yoga teacher who is based out of India. He has his yoga

school in Rishikesh. And he is, he's an international yoga teacher, but he's also a content creator.

So some of you might have seen his YouTube channel. It's called Prashan J Yoga.

And that's how I discovered him and his work.

And I've been wanting to have him on the podcast.

Today he travels and teaches and continues to offer a lot of his yoga and research and

classes online as well as in studio or in shala in India as well.

So he's on the podcast today and we're getting very nerdy about all things pranayama.

We start with what is prana and how do we understand prana?

Is it a path to enlightenment?

We talk about everyday pranayamas. We spend a lot of time on kumbaka

and understanding the significance for a yogi in retention. And we talk about the physical body

versus the energetic body and how pranayama can amplify what you bring into it. So you come

into the practice, restless and angry, it's going to amplify that.

We go through a whole range.

And for me, it's always a privilege to be able to sit with teachers like this who spend

their entire lifetime quite literally exploring the yoga and then making it accessible to us.

So I am deeply grateful that Prashant is on the show today.

We have linked to his yoga school and his YouTube channel and all his other work on our show notes at let's talk.

orgia.
