OLLI classes are designed for learners aged 50 and better, however anyone 18 and older can register and join. Registration is required to join this class.

Discover the transformative power of breath work, with both philosophical and practical dimensions. Focusing primarily on the yoga practice of pranayama, you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the healing power of yogic breath work.
