Explore foundational pranayama in a class taught in the Iyengar method. Designed for practitioners with an ongoing asana practice, it expects familiarity with seated and restorative postures, inversions, and savasana. Props are incorporated, and the series welcomes all ages and abilities. This four-week, live Zoom series introduces techniques such as ujjayi, viloma I and II, anuloma and pratiloma without retention, and bhramari. Sessions cultivate sensitivity of mind so action and intelligence work together, building awareness of how breath and body align to focus attention. Practiced regularly, pranayama can help ease stress and anxiety, calm the nervous system through conscious breathing, sharpen perception of the length and quality of the breath, support healthy blood pressure, increase energy, reduce fatigue, and foster a quieter, more balanced state of mind. Rooted in teachings from the Iyengar tradition, the work encourages turning inward so the senses and mind shift from outer busyness to inner steadiness, opening the way to presence and a sense of freedom.

A floating sound bath and release ritual, The Float: The Quiet Between, centers on the hush before a new beginning. In the glow of a waning crescent moon, the evening emphasizes rest, release, and gentle renewal. It begins with a quiet pre-float moment of selecting a stone and contemplating a burden or story to set down, followed by a simple offering of those intentions to the water before settling into the pool. Once afloat, participants are guided through a soft meditation that eases the body and mind into the threshold between what has passed and what is emerging. The experience then unfolds into a floating sound bath with crystal singing bowls played by Ashley Bowman and Lisa Valerio. Throughout, both practitioners provide Reiki-infused energy work to encourage deep relaxation, reflection, and restoration. Plan for about 45 to 50 minutes in the water, light snacks and drinks, and a calm, supportive setting. Wear swim-friendly attire. Personal floats and towels are welcome, and both will also be available on site. You can step out of the water at any point if you feel chilly or want a break. This gathering takes place at a private residence in Deltona, Florida. The address will be shared after payment is received. The cost is $60 per person and advance payment is required to hold a spot, with Cash App or an invoice available upon request. Capacity is limited. Hosted by Ashley Bowman of Regeneration Massage & Wellness with Lisa Valerio of Energy Rising and The Crone.
