The breath is my teacher
Vinyasa Krama Yoga

Legendary Lineage

Pam has taught Vinyasa Krama Yoga for over 35 years under the tutelage of her teacher, Srivatsa Ramaswami, who studied directly under the guardian of Yogi Sri. T. Krishnamacharya. She also taught exclusively for 11yrs for H H Swami Vidyadishananda the Vinyasakrama yogasana and pranayana for all his retreats and celebrations. The architectural practice of Vinyasakrama moves the body through artfully curated and equitable sequencing that is matched with a deep breath controlled, ujjayi pranayama. Krishnamacharya created this system of balanced movement and breath to bring his students to deeper awareness and a uniform energetic basis for meditation.

Deep Learning

“A Yogi studies yoga for the depth of the teaching not for show, but for vision.”

Start from where you are! Accept your body and mind and then begin. Set realistic goals by taking steady, small steps! In Yoga practices; breath is the crux of the teachings, it is the breath that sustains the body, and the breath that sustains the mind. Pranayama, is the ancient art of breathing, it is a practice used by yogis to clean the nadis, cultivate keen awareness, and bring oneself to the stillness of meditation.

The physical act of this deep ujjayi breathing you hear here is said to enhance the nitric oxide levels in the body, gets into your bones, flesh, glands, and bloodstream, as well as influence your subtle levels of consciousness. The repeated movement of the arms over the head boosts cardiac and lymphatic actions. Dare to go slow, repeat, fine tune, master; allow the micro circuity of your breath to unveil the scientific codes and innate cosmic intelligence within to bring you to the true home of your own mind and heart.
