Pranayama Workshop

Saturday, April 27, 4:00 - 6:00 pm
 In Studio & Online options

  • Pranayama is an ancient and powerful practice of transformation and deep change, excavating the psyche in such a way that the pathways to evolution and personal growth become clear.

    In the season of Autumn, we augment our urge to grow through life’s harvests. Home of the Lung channel and its associated energy patterns, we are naturally inspired toward discernment around what is no longer needed, and acceptance around what is ready to be let go as the wheel of the year turns from full and bright, to empty and dark.

    Through breathwork practices, in general, but particularly in this season, we better understand the energy flow through the chest, shoulders, and arms and its effect on the skin, our immunity and our emotional borders (and containment). We get clearer at discerning the truth, seeing with a higher eye and so meeting our reservoirs of grief and loss in a spirit of faith, optimism and life reset.

    This workshop is for you if:

    • You keep falling ill with colds and flus

    • You feel like letting things go is a challenge or you let go too easily and find yourself regretting

    • You are ready to expand your emotional vocabulary

    • You are journeying through any type of life-change

    • You are curious about breathwork

    • You are an experienced practitioner but would like to understand more

    • You are drawn to deeper practices

    The Metal Element is a symbol of purity whose discovery is vital for revealing our true worth and value - like a miner discovers gold by clearing the rocks and washing away the mud. Our afternoon of guided breathwork practices will take you from the gross to the subtle, open valuable insights, and give you tools and techniques to enhance your well-being, emotional balance, and spiritual clarity.

    Classes are live in the studio at South Coast Soul, Vincentia AND live online for those unable to attend in person.

What People are Saying

  • Few teachers include the breath with such depth and skill. In these sessions, there is a period of gentle movement to prepare the body to sit, before the breath work commences. Yolande guides you through various techniques from a place of knowledge and respect, for me, this has been a deeply transformational addition to my practice.

  • Wow, just spent a week with Yolande exploring the Fire Element and Heart Intensive yoga workshop. A beautiful practise which was challenging in places for me but also restorative. I’m relatively new to this but benefited from this enormously. I woke each morning eager and less stressed in my shoulders. Clear headed and content and generally relaxed before and after the session. What a magical, talented and beautifully Souled woman Yolande is. Thank you so much — KE Bayview

  • Thanks Yolande. Such a pleasure to be guided by you in an early morning practice today. Your knowledge, method & delivery always allows me to be brave & explore while feeling completely safe & supported. Even in a virtual classroom. So grateful our paths crossed & I look forward to rolling out my mat in my lounge room & joining you again for another practice.

  • “Essential lockdown release for body and mind. Yolande's classes are the best way to start your day. Delivered with wisdom and generosity, they strengthen your physical and emotional resilience - resetting your entire system so you're ready to face the morning. I would not be surviving COVID without them.

  • Yolande's four day Easter yoga intensive over the weekend was everything you would expect from this incredibly wise, experienced (and funny!) yogi. When half the class is full of other yoga teachers you know you're in a good space. She took us through a beautiful and sometimes challenging process of unpacking, unbinding and shedding on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Thank you lovely Yolande for a wonderful experience.

    — AL Avalon

  • I have recently started doing Pilates and in working with other teachers have realized what I already knew, which is that Yolande has such a special gift for teaching and she brings a beautiful energy to all of her classes. Although I cant attend any more, I feel extremely privilaged to have been a part of her class for that speacial time with that special group.
