Course Overview

This is the culmination of Gregor’s teacahing on Pranayama. The course consists of 10 lessons with each lesson approximately 60 minutes long. This course endeavours to combine Kapalabhati, Bhastrika, and Nadi Shodhana with internal and external kumbhakas during each breath cycle into a single practice. Various ratios starting with sama vrtti and working towards vishma vrtti are explored.

Other than Gregor’s other Pranayama courses this Advanced Course is initially conducted live via Zoom and at the end of each day uploaded to Vimeo where it then is available on-demand and longterm.

Conducting the course live on Zoom will give students the option to demonstrate their proficiency of Kapalabhati, Bhastrika, Jalandhara Bandha and other aspects of their pranayama practice. Gregor will then be able to offer assessment these and offer advise in a compassionate, humble and supportive way. Assessment is voluntary but if students opt to be assessed they thereby consent that such assessment becomes part of the on-demand version of the course. Students who chose to only passively participate in the course (i.e. not demonstrate) will still benefit as there are only about half a dozen classical elements in which a student could fall short of optimal practice.

During the LIVE version, questions can be asked. The recorded version is available after LIVE/webinar is completed. Gregor’s Level 1 -3 pranayama courses are designed to prepare for this ultimate course.

Prerequisites

• Capacity to sit comfortably in a meditation posture
• An empty stomach, i.e. practice before food and not after food
• Gregor holds the belief that only his Pranayama Level 1 -3 courses prepare for this Advanced Pranayama course. However, he will not stop advanced practitioners from other traditions to participate. After commencement of the course no refunds or transfers to other courses are possible.
