P-06. Week 1: Study

Geeta Iyengar taught sitting for pranayama, repeating the points of instruction and awareness, throughout her teaching life, and recorded several sitting-focused sessions in conventions.

Watch this 21 minute video of Geeta Iyengar teaching in Australia in 2009 and make notes.

Use the format of the Reading and research log and adapt it to your note taking style.

Download the Reading & research log. Place it in the resources section.

Keep your notes to hand and use them in the practice section below to remind yourself about the key points you need to pay attention to as you practise with the recordings. In essence, be your own teacher.  Review and refine your notes over time as you widen and deepen your experience.

Watch a second 16-minute long video of Geeta Iyengar teaching in Australia in 2009 and practise with recording Ujjayi VIII: slow soft, long inhalations and slow soft, long exhalations. If Ujjayi VIII is difficult for you, practise Ujjayi V: normal inhalations and exhalations.
