More about Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya

Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya is a part of Sattva Yoga, derived from ancient kundalini and tantric traditions of the Himalayas.

‘Sattva’ is a Sanskrit word that denotes the quality of inner balance, harmony, clarity, creativity and lightness of being.

‘Kriya’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘action that leads us to evolution, expansion, and liberation’ and is referred to as the ‘yoga of energy’.

This embodied practice combines a diverse range of breathing techniques, specific visualisation, focused awareness, body movements, mantras and mudras that can support in:

  • Calming the mind and body

  • Awakening/enlivening vital energy

  • Releasing stress and emotion from the body and nervous system

  • Expanding consciousness and tapping into our creative potential

  • Experiencing states of unity and deep connection with Self

  • Building self-awareness of thinking, feeling, somatic and relational experiences, as they arise

  • Enhancing states of clarity and self-compassion

  • Optimising respiratory efficiency

    • Participants will need to bring:

    • Yoga Mat

    • Cushion or bolster to sit on (a cushion with additional height can support hips and knees whilst practicing in a seated position)

    • Optional additional cushion(s) to use as supportive props for knees, ankles when practicing in seated position (as required).

    • Blanket (to cover body when lying or to use as a supportive prop under feet when seated)

    • Drink bottle for hydration

    • Wear loose, comfortable clothes

    • In this session, you will receive information and instruction about Breathwork, Mudras, Mantras, Free Movement, Meditation, Kriyas & Asana (Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya). 

    • Himalayan Breathwork involves deep breathwork and may at times involve breath holds.

      Mental health conditions
      Individuals experiencing active psychotic symptoms or suicidal thoughts may find some aspects of Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya challenging. In these cases, a discussion with Erin may clarify whether an individually tailored session would be appropriate and supportive

    • If any of these contra-indications/pre-existing conditions apply to you, it is important that you notify Erin prior to a session so your participation in the event can be adjusted accordingly.

    • It is important to listen to your own limitations. If at any time you are feeling unsafe, it is important that you stop participating and seek support as needed.
