Do You Want to Silence the Mental Chatter and Truly Connect with Yourself?

Learn How To Turn Breath Into Bliss

You’ve been on this journey for a while

You’re no stranger to the yogic path.

But there’s still something missing.

Maybe it’s the way your mind scurries around like a squirrel on caffeine, making focus a challenge.

Perhaps it’s the late-night waltz with insomnia.

The constant battle with stress and anxiety that’s thrown your life out of rhythm.

Or maybe, it’s the persistent feeling of disconnect – like you’ve misplaced a piece of yourself somewhere along the journey.

You’re devoted to studying yoga and personal development, but something’s still not right…

Pranayama is a profound, transformative journey that intertwines your breath, mind, and spirit.

Proper respiratory function is like the secret sauce to your overall well-being. Mental clarity, consistent energy, emotional wellness – they’re all interwoven with the way you breathe.

*I honor and acknowledge my teachers Yogacharini Deepika Giri and Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani for sharing teachings from the illustrious Rishiculture Gitananda Ashtanga tradition.

You might be thinking...

“How can breathing – something I do all day – make such a big difference?”

It’s all about connecting the dots and cultural context.

INTRODUCING

Pranayama For Self-Healing

Breathe your way to a more balanced, more energetic, more vibrant you.

Join me on this path through fundamentals of Pranayama.

I bring a unique blend of expertise and passion to teach you a holistic understanding of your body, mind, and spirit. This isn’t just about mastering your breathing.

This is about using the breath as a vehicle for prana – the all-pervading life force, and exploring a time-honored yoga tradition in a way that’s accessible and practical for your modern lifestyle.

With my background in scientific research and health advocacy, I have a knack for breaking down esoteric concepts into relatable principles.

You will not be asked to blindly follow instructions, but truly understand the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind each Pranayama practice and you can embody them.

My devotion to learning in reflected in my teaching style that pulls from a variety of modalities, distilling the wisdom of ages and presenting it in a manner that’s simple yet profound.

It’s a synthesis of knowledge crafted for simplicity, while honoring cultural context with reverence to deliver the true essence of the teachings.

This will very possibly be unlike other pranayama trainings you’ve done before; it’s a sadhana (practice-based) offering with a holistic approach to understanding the human body, mind, and spirit.

You benefit directly from my dedication to deliver a comprehensive understanding of Pranayama from the Rishiculture Ashtanga Gitananda Yoga tradition – one that interweaves years of devoted study, personal practice, and close engagement with this authentic, living yoga tradition.

New to me? Hello! I’m Dawn

Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Ph.D., Ecologist, Founder of HolSol Wellness LLC

I’m a walking paradox. I have one foot firmly rooted in modern science as a (full-time) researcher studying plant life cycles and the other rooted in the study of ancient wisdom in yoga and leadership.

With expertise as a Certified Yoga Therapist and Aromatherapist, I integrate ancient wisdom and modern science to offer personalized sessions and transformative practices.

My commitment to Pranayama runs deep – rooted in years of dedicated study, personal practice, and a close engagement with an authentic, living yoga tradition. Today, I rise at 3:15am every Sunday morning to study with my teachers and fellow students from around the world.

On my recent immersion at theYoga Satsanga ashram in Wales, I received the message loud and clear “Now is the time to teach.” The time has come to share these rich and vast teachings with others.

My unique style combines appreciation for Indian culture, devoted study and embodiment of traditions and teachings of yoga, and proficiency with peer-reviewed scientific literature. It would be an honor to walk this path alongside you.

This program is for you if you are…

Seeking a Mind-Body Balance

You’re craving harmony between your mind and body. I teach you how to find that balance through regulated breath control techniques.

I do want you to be able to decide with grounded confidence that this is a program that you can be part of and enjoy.

To that end, there’s an opportunity to ask a question in the bubble below and on the right. I’ll happily reply to your questions to be sure it’s a good fit.

Have questions? I’ve got replies.

How can Pranayama breathing help me?

Breathing difficulties can lead to a lack of energy, foggy brain, or feeling indecisive or unsettled.

I teach the ancient art of Pranayama (or breath control) to offer you practical methods to enhance your mental, physical, and emotional health.

Why is this program six weeks?

My teachers say and I’ve experienced this multiple times myself, that consistent practice over six weeks offers deep-rooted change. That said, each session, each practice will offer a shape-shift.

How much time will this take each week?

Life is indeed full and I kept this in mind while designing the course. You get up to 2 hours with me per week – 90 min practice via Zoom, and 30 min weekly Q and A as long as people show up for it.

In addition, there will be a short (no more than 15 min) instructional video to introduce the topic of the week. So, 2:15 for the course materials.

My hope is that you bring these teachings into your daily life in a way that works for you and your schedule – it can be 15 mins per day. Keep in mind the adage – “You get out of this what you put in.”

When are the live practice sessions?

The weekly live sessions are planned for Saturday mornings (9am MST/ 11am EST / 5pm CET) and will be recorded if you’re unable to attend live…but live offers group energy.

When are the live Q and A sessions?

At this time, I’ve scheduled the 30 -min Q and A call for 5pm MST/ 7p EST / 1am CET, next day) on Thursdays for as long as there is interest and participation from the group. I’m open to adjusting the day (a big benefit of being a BETA group member). In any event, you can submit questions to me in advance and I can address them in the Q and A call.

What if I cannot make the live weekly sessions?

If you are unable to make the live practice sessions, the recordings will be available on the course platform as quickly as possible and no later than 48 hours after we finish.

Can Pranayama help alleviate my stress?

Yes! I teach you how to use Pranayama techniques to help you manage and release stress effectively. There are ways through movement and conscious breathing. We explore both.

What if I'm not able to keep up with the program?

I’ve designed the program and content to build incrementally. The weekly instructional videos will be available before our live sessions and recordings will be uploaded to the course website no more than 48 hours later.

I highly recommend you come to the live sessions, but if you can’t make them, they’ll be recorded for you to catch up. And remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Reach out to me and I can guide you through the program.

Can I really change my life with breath control?

Absolutely! It’s like discovering you’ve been driving in first gear your whole life. Pranayama for Self-Healing helps you shift gears, enhancing your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

How quickly will I see results?

Each person is different. AND with consistent practice, it won’t be long before you feel the difference. It’s like planting a seed – with a little patience and care, you’ll soon see it grow.

What support will I get during this transformative journey?

You get up to 2 hours with me each week (90-min group practice and 30-min Q and A – as long as participants join).

You’ll also be part of a group of like-minded individuals that offers a level of support. There is no one-on-one work included in the course. If you seek that level of support, I encourage looking into booking a 1:1 session with me here.

Is this program suitable for beginners?

The practices are available to all. The group experience is an important aspect of the offering. The course is open to zealous students who want to join, but may not have an established Yoga practice.

I smoke. Can I join this course?

In a word, No.

Without judgment, the better next step for your respiratory and energetic health would be to take steps to reduce and ultimately stop smoking.

For the record, I realize that stopping smoking can be incredibly difficult. Here are some recommendations from the Mayo Clinic.
