Jennifer's Finding Kevala Pranayama course is an in-depth exploration of not just pranayama, but the mechanics of breathing. From ancient historical texts to the most recent research, this course is astoundingly thorough in both breadth and depth, with plenty of additional resources if you want to go deeper.

I wish I had taken this course years ago as it corrects and clarifies so many common misunderstandings about pranayama and breath cues for yoga teachers.
