"Breathwork is one of the most powerful and transformative practice and Pranayama is the comprehensive Science of Breath."

Devendra Narayan, PhD

Hi, I'm Devendra Narayan

I'm a technologist, yoga educator and breathworker

Breathing is the master key that not only harmonizes the body, mind, thoughts, and emotions but also connects us deeply with the Spirit

Pranayama is the ancient science of yogic breathing that teaches us to consciously modulate the rhythm, pace, and directionality of our breathing

In doing so, Pranayama facilitates the flow of life force (Prana) throughout the body

I’m here to support you to discover the transformative power of a daily Pranayama practice. Together, we can explore how this gentle yet profound practice can bring meaningful and lasting changes to your life
