More about Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya

Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya is a part of yoga, derived from ancient traditions of the Himalayas.

‘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 supports participants to harness their own breath, physical movement and targeted awareness to shift and reorganise their own internal states. Physical movement sits alongside stillness practices that can support coming into deeper states of awareness. This can help 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

    • 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.  

    • Possible contra-indications for Himalayan Breathwork & Kriya requiring an adjusted practice:

      Anxiety, recent history of panic attacks, pregnancy, hernia, glaucoma, high blood pressure, recent trauma, epilepsy/seizures.

      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.

    • If you have any medical/health concerns, it is important that you consult with a suitably qualified medical professional before engaging in these activities.
