Welcome to Pranayama and Yogic Breathing, an Estudio Korunta training designed for yoga practitioners, teachers, and students who want to understand and practice the art of breathing from a clear, progressive, and in-depth perspective.
Pranayama is one of the central tools of traditional yoga. Through the conscious regulation of the breath, the practitioner learns to influence vital energy, attention, the nervous system, and the state of the mind. This course will guide you step by step so you can develop a safe, structured, and practical breathing practice for your personal life or your work as a yoga teacher.
Breathing is deeply connected to both body and mind. When the breath changes, the quality of attention, emotional balance, and the way we experience practice may also change. For this reason, this program does not simply teach isolated breathing exercises. It offers a complete training to help you understand the meaning, effects, and practical application of pranayama.
Throughout the course, you will study 10 main pranayama techniques, each with detailed explanations, benefits, practical foundations, and downloadable guided sessions that you can use from your computer, phone, or preferred device.
The main techniques included are:
Yogic Breathing
Ujjayi Pranayama
Anuloma and Viloma Ujjayi Pranayama
Pratiloma Ujjayi Pranayama
Surya Bhedana and Chandra Bhedana
Nadi Shodhana
Bhastrika
Kapalabhati
Shitali and Shitkari
Samantraka Pranayama
In addition, the course includes complementary lessons on Jala Neti, Simha Garjanasana, Tummo, Wim Hof-style breathing, Bhramari Pranayama, Shanmukhi Mudra, and Prana Vikshana. You will also find a section dedicated to the science of pranayama and a weekly practice program to help you integrate what you learn in a gradual and consistent way.
The course includes more than 60 lessons and over 8 hours of on-demand video, with a progressive structure that combines theory, guided practice, and downloadable resources. This allows you to study at your own pace and return to the practices whenever you need them.
This course is ideal for:
Practitioners who want to deepen their yogic breathing practice.
Yoga teachers who want to expand their teaching tools.
Students interested in pranayama, vital energy, and breath regulation.
Practitioners seeking a structured practice beyond asana.
Anyone who wants to integrate traditional breathing techniques into daily life.
Upon completion, you will receive your Udemy certificate of completion, which may be used to register 15 YACEP continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance. If you would like to receive a diploma issued by Estudio Korunta – Rafael Díaz, you may request it for an additional fee of $25 USD. More information is provided inside the course.
If you are looking for a serious, progressive, and complete training to understand pranayama, practice with greater safety, and develop a more conscious relationship with your breath, this course is for you.
