Pranayama: Breathing the Path

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Join us for a presentation, Pranayama: Breathing the Path, led by a very special guest speaker Ayesha Adamo. Ayesha is the Grand Praemonstrator of Temple of Thelema as well as an academic, performing artist, and filmmaker currently working towards a PhD in Religion at Rice University. In the seventh of Crowley's Eight Lectures on Yoga, he makes mention of a conscious breathing exercise, highly recommended by the Buddha, that leads to full attainment, given continued practice. Pranayama, with its attention to breath, is a powerful means towards union. In this study group, we will explore both the theory and the practice of a number of conscious breath techniques, culminating in a guided meditation for the group. We hope to see you there! \*\*The location is in the city of Inglewood, CA — Please RSVP for the address as it is a private residence. \*\*\* Remember, all are welcome! A $10 donation (or any amount you are able) is suggested. Love is the law, love under will.
