    Excellent!

    I really enjoyed this and learnt so much. Rachel is so wonderful and engaging and the course is easy to follow and understand. It has definitely enhanced my understanding of the breath and, as a result, my practice. Thank you so much!

    What a great integration

    I watched it three times! That was a fun way of relating to what I only knew from textbooks .

    Anatomy of Breathing

    This is a wonderfully clear teaching about the complex anatomy and mechanics of breathing and how they underpin and both consciously and unconsciously impact and vitalize daily life and can be trained up through pranayama and asana.

    Excellent Anatomical, Physiological, and Emotional Explanation of Breath

    This is the second course I have taken with DoYogaWithMe, and I cannot recommend it enough. The purposeful "hands on" coursework and thoughtful explanations of the anatomy/physiology of breathing were very helpful and included many pieces that not only have helped me tune even more into my own practice, but will help me in guiding other students.

    So many layers to breathing

    I love how this lesson entwined the mechanics of breathing with the experience of breathing. My understanding is multi-layered and more complex now.

    Breathing new life into my yoga practice!

    Wow, what an incredible lesson. Rachel is such a talented teacher. She brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every topic! For me personally, the highlight of this course was understanding how the breath affects the shape of the body. In the short session, I really felt a deeper connection of body and breath, was so much more comfortable and at ease in the poses. It felt like my body was working with me instead of against me. Just wonderful!

    Every breath you take

    I thought I understood how important breath was in yoga practice (and life), but this course expanded my knowledge greatly. Rachel simplifies the content without sacrificing the core learning. All yogis should take this course!

    A great introduction to the relationship of breath and Yoga - with clear explanation and some physical practice. Really enjoyed this class!

    Inspiring!

    I found this course very thorough and well done. Rachel unpacks the various aspects of breathing in a meaningful and practical way. I found the use of visuals (i.e. skeleton and videos) especially helpful in understanding how certain muscles and bones work when we breathe. The breathing exercises and asanas were perfectly aligned with the theoretical part enabling us to practice physically what we had learned mentally. Thank you Rachel!

    Bringing it all together

    I really enjoyed this - finally all the bits of knowledge I have are united because before I didn’t really understand how the diaphragm worked. Rachel explained it all perfectly- thank you

    Exceptional

    This is by far my favorite class. I’ve practiced yoga for a couple decades and this class really made me understand the logic behind the bio-mechanics of the poses and for breath work in general. A lot of this is intuitive after practicing for so long, but it also shed some light and connected the dots for weaker aspects of my practice. This is what I was hoping for, a deeper understanding and appreciation for the wisdom behind yoga.
