You’re stuck in traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road. AC blasting, to-do list in your head, and yet—you feel drained. Not physically, maybe, but in a way that’s hard to explain. Like the inner spark is flickering. In a city like Dubai, with its sky-high ambitions and non-stop pace, that feeling is all too common.
At Pratimoksha Enlighten Yoga Center, we call this energy spark Prana. And our unique program, Prana & Beyond, is designed to help you reconnect with it.
What Is Prana?
Prana is the Sanskrit word for “life force”—the vital energy that flows through all living beings. You might think of it as the fuel that powers your body, mind, and emotions. In yogic tradition, prana isn’t just oxygen; it’s the subtle energy carried through the breath that keeps you alive and vibrant.
When your prana is flowing freely, you feel calm, focused, and energetic. When it’s blocked or depleted, you feel tired, irritable, or anxious—even if your external life looks perfectly fine.
Why Does Prana Matter in Daily Life?
Living in Dubai means juggling work pressure, family responsibilities, social obligations, and—let’s face it—a fair amount of screen time. All of these can deplete prana. Add poor sleep, shallow breathing, or emotional stress, and your life force gets stretched thin.
That’s why we created Prana & Beyond—a program that combines ancient breathwork techniques with modern energy-balancing practices to help you recharge from within.
A Growing Concern in Dubai
According to a recent survey by Cigna Healthcare, over 90% of UAE residents report feeling stressed, with work-related pressure and lack of sleep among the top causes. In Dubai’s high-paced environment, these stressors quietly drain prana, leaving many feeling exhausted despite appearing outwardly successful.
What is ‘Prana & Beyond’?
This is not your average breathwork class. Prana & Beyond is a guided journey into the world of subtle energy. Led by experienced practitioners at Pratimoksha, including Lalitha Viswanath, the program is built to:
- Deepen your awareness of breath and energy flow
- Teach you how to regulate your nervous system
- Help you release mental and emotional blocks
- Boost your immunity, focus, and inner clarity
Each session blends:
- Pranayama (breath control): like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalabhati (cleansing breath), and Ujjayi (victorious breath)
- Energy body work: gentle movement and stillness to awaken dormant prana
- Relaxation and visualization: to help the body absorb and redirect energy
The Science of Breath and Energy
Breathing is the only function in the body that is both automatic and voluntary. This gives us unique power—by consciously changing your breath, you can influence your mental and emotional state.
Scientific studies have shown that regular breathwork:
- Reduces cortisol (stress hormone)
- Improves heart rate variability (a sign of good health)
- Enhances oxygen delivery and cellular repair
- Promotes better sleep, digestion, and immunity
Prana is not mystical—it’s practical. It’s your body’s way of restoring balance.
What to Expect in a Session
Each Prana & Beyond session is carefully designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re feeling scattered, low on energy, or emotionally overwhelmed, we’ll guide you back to center.
A typical session includes:
- Grounding postures to still the body
- Specific pranayama techniques tailored to your needs
- Breath-body awareness practices
- A deep relaxation or Yoga Nidra to seal the session
Over time, you may notice:
- Increased energy without caffeine
- Fewer mood swings or anxiety spikes
- A stronger sense of inner calm
- More resilience in dealing with everyday stress
