Join the Breath Connection community to celebrate the Lunar New Year with a powerful practice to welcome in 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon! 🐉

In Chinese culture, the Dragon is a potent symbol of power, prosperity and leadership. We'll dive into carefully selected breath and movement practices from the Himalayan Kriya Yoga tradition to connect to our own inner dragon energy and kick off the new year by activating a fresh start and new beginning within ourselves.

Breath practice is the ultimate tool for self-empowerment. It is is the single most important thing we do every day, not only because it keeps us alive (!) but also because how we breathe has a deep impact on our physiology. Changing the way you breathe can change how you feel in less than a minute, because breathing is directly connected to the autonomic nervous system. There are hundreds of different breath techniques that all have different physiological effects. Learn more.
