In a yoga class, you follow the guidance: breathe in, breathe out, find the rhythm. Later, sitting on your own mat, questions remain. What distinguishes the different techniques? How do breath, Prana and Bandhas relate to each other? And how do you turn a guided experience into a practice you can continue thoughtfully at home?
This live training makes space for those questions. With Neha Pugalia, explore traditional yogic breathing techniques, breath anatomy and the foundations of Bandhas. Practise directly with her on Zoom and learn the terminology in context. Quiet, humming, energising and cooling practices become part of a structured learning journey.
What remains unclear during practice matters, too. Ask questions, discuss your observations and finish with guidance for continuing at home. The afternoon connects personal experience with background knowledge, for anyone who wants a deeper grasp of what they practise or encounter in their yoga classes.
For anyone who wants to explore breathing techniques or deepen their yoga practice, including yoga teachers. No teaching experience needed.
The practices, their context and your questions belong together. These four areas give your learning a direction.
Your learning journey
A structured afternoon moves from foundational techniques to questions about applying them, with a 15-minute break along the way. All times are Berlin time (CET).
15:00–15:45
Begin with alternate nostril breathing and Ujjayi, also known as ocean breath. These foundational practices introduce the guided session, with attention to breath awareness and techniques you can return to in a regular practice.
15:45–16:30
Meet Bhramari, the humming bee breath, then explore the stronger, energising practices of Kapalbhati and Bhastrika. Neha guides this part of the training with adaptations, helping you approach these different forms of breathwork with care.
16:30–16:45
Time to move, have some water and let the practice settle.
16:45–17:30
After the break, explore cooling Shitali breath and the foundations of Kumbhaka, or breath retention. The session also introduces Mula, Uddiyana and Jalandhara Bandha in their traditional context, with a careful approach to breath retention.
17:30–18:10
Connect the practice so far with its background. Traditional perspectives on Prana and breath anatomy offer further ways to understand the subject. Explore how the techniques can be approached thoughtfully in everyday life.
18:10–18:30
Bring the afternoon together through a closing integration practice. The live Q&A makes room for questions that arose while practising, and Neha offers guidance for continuing at home.

Comfortable clothes, a mat, cushion or chair, water and a notebook: set up a quiet practice space. You will need a reliable internet connection, ideally with a camera.
You learn in direct conversation with Neha. Use the live Q&A to discuss observations from your practice and make sense of what you are learning.
Practise gently, never force the breath and pause if you feel uncomfortable. Strong breathing practices and breath retention may need adaptation and may not suit every health circumstance. Discuss individual concerns before joining.
