3 Breathwork and Pranayama Techniques for Yoga Teachers Who Keep Putting It Off

3 Breathwork and Pranayama Techniques for Yoga Teachers Who Keep Putting It Off

If you've been meaning to teach pranayama in your classes but keep finding reasons to wait — this week's podcast is for you.


Most yoga teachers want to include breathwork. The problem isn't interest — it's knowing where to start, how long to spend, and whether students will actually value it. This episodes solves all three problems in under 20 minutes, with three simple, immediately usable techniques you can bring to your next class.


No restructuring required. No special training needed. Just three practical breathwork tools, three locations in your class to use them, and the confidence to begin.


The Three Techniques Covered:


  • Coherence Breathing / Sama Vritti Pranayama — 5.5 x 5.5 seconds, ideal for class openings


  • Breath-linked movement — half sun salutations, Utkatasana flow, eagle arms transitions


  • Extended exhale breathing — 6:2:8:2 ratio, ideal pre-Savasana for nervous system downregulation



Chapters:


00:00 Introduction — why yoga teachers keep putting pranayama off

01:20 Concern 1: Will my students get bored?

02:06 Concern 2: Which technique should I use?

02:27 Concern 3: Where does pranayama go in class?

03:49 Location 1: Class opening — coherence breathing

07:07 Location 2: Within dynamic movement — breath-linked movement patterns

10:31 Location 3: Pre-Savasana — extended exhale breathing

13:51 The final challenge — pick one technique and try it this week
