This course examines traditional pranayama, breath based meditation and yogic breathing within a culturally trauma sensitive and academically grounded framework, integrating them with contemporary research in respiratory physiology, neuroscience, psychophysiology, autonomic regulation and behavioural medicine. Participants explore how breathing affects vagal tone, interoceptive awareness, emotional processing, sleep, inflammatory response and stress physiology. The training also examines breathing biomechanics, breathing patterns, nasal function, carbon dioxide tolerance and the somatic signatures of anxiety and trauma.
