Muni Yoga

"The purpose of sadhana is definitely not enlightenment.
It is to become aware of your positive self”
~ Swami Niranjananda

Looking back at how far we've come ❤️🙏🏼 Swipe through a little journey over the years - from Muni's early days during the pandemic to becoming real friends today

We just received a new review that warmes our ❤️. Thanks Rhea for making Muni your sanctuary # # #

In the Bihar School of Yoga (BSY) tradition, we honor a vital distinction: breathwork is not yet pranayama—it is the preparation. Before we can direct vital energy (prana), we must first train, stretch, and awaken the physical breath. We always give our students time to build this foundation.

One of the essential ways we prepare is through 3-part breathing:
engaging the diaphragmatic (belly), thoracic (chest), and clavicular(collarbone) spaces.
Here, our students are practicing a 5:5:5 ratio:
- 5 seconds Inhale (filling bottom to top)
- 5 secondsGentle Retention / Hold
- 5 seconds Exhale

The Science:
Holding the breath briefly gives the alveoli - the tiny air sacs in our lungs—more time to expand and efficiently exchange oxygen into the bloodstream. It maximizes full lung capacity while soothing the nervous system.

Pure joy on the steps of our new loft shala. So hapoy to welcome you here ☀️

As we open the doors to our new shala, we offer our pranams to the guru parampara. We carry this sacred tradition forward into our beautiful new sanctuary.
