Breathing is life. It is one of our most vital functions.
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word meaning “extension of the prana or breath” or more accurately, “extension of the life force”. It is mentioned in many of the famous treatises on yoga as a vital element of yogic practice.
This workshop has the intention of teaching methods to gain an awareness of your breath and to show how conscious breathing can be applied to the different dimensions of your yogic practice:
- Learn the basics of controlling Prana or the vital life energy and the benefits this can bring.
- How breath awareness can be a powerful meditation technique.
- Why the integration of breath with hatha yoga is important and how it can deepen your practice.
- The application of various Pranayamas and their uses (vowel, coloured, meditative)
This workshop will give you a wide range of methods which will be easy to implement at home after the seminar.
Your breath is an amazingly powerful tool, but only if you remember to use it!

By Car
Located on the Tyrolean Fernpass, in the north-west of Austria, close to the German border the AlpenRetreat is easily reached via the Fernpassstrasse B179 (E532).
At the top of the Fernpass (Fernpasshöhe) there is a petrol station named "Dolle". Opposite of it on the other side of the street is a roadside restaurant (Fernpaß Rast), a red building, and a big yellow building (the former Fernpass hotel). Follow the small street between the restaurant and the yellow house for about 200m and you have reached the AlpenRetreat.
Places connected by the Fernpassstraße
Füssen – Reutte – Heiterwang – Lermooser Tunnel – Fernpass (AlpenRetreat) – Nassereith. At the border-tunnel in Füssen the Fernpassstrasse connects with the federal highway 310 and the A 7. In Nassereith it merges into the B 189 along the Inntal (Inn valley) in direction south-east towards Telfs and in south-west direction towards Imst.
In winter it is compulsory in Austria to have winter tires on your car. Although the Fernpassstrasse is well maintained and therefore easily accessible, sometimes the streets can still be covered in snow. In exceptional cases snow chains may be required (very rarely). If you are coming with a rental car, make sure it is equipped with winter tires (the rental company is obliged to provide this).
