Hello everyone, Eating is not just about what you put into your body, but how you eat it. It’s about bringing awareness to every bite. We are excited to announce a new series on pranayama, a practice that can have profound, positive effects on your lifestyle. Our first module is “Mindful Eating with Pranayama,” a 10-week program that will be held every morning from 5:30 to 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Please be sure to check your local time online to join us at the correct time. Each week, we will focus on learning and practicing one new pranayama exercise. We’ll practice together for at least 24 minutes a day, Monday through Friday, giving you the weekends to practice on your own. By the end of this 10-week series, you will discover how your perception of eating has transformed. There is no fee to join this program. However, we sincerely appreciate any donations to the Thirumoolar Tamil Chair to support our work. Don’t stress if you can’t join us bright and early! We’ll post the video on YouTube so you can catch up and practice whenever you want. Come join us and change the way you breathe, eat, and love.
