Breathe Beyond the Mat

BREATHE BEYOND THE MAT

Build a personal pranayama practice that steadies your energy, clears your mind, and connects you to the essence of yoga in everyday life.

When you learn the yogic art and science of pranayama, you build a bridge between your outer practice and your inner awareness — toward the deeper limbs of yoga.

Enroll in Breathe Beyond the Mat

Your breath is the bridge — cross it.

You roll up your mat and feel, for a moment, like yourself again —
present, clear, at ease within your own skin.

But not long after you step outside the shala, the world rushes back in, and that feeling has already begun to slip away.

You know yoga is meant to be more than movement, that this feeling is something you’re meant to carry with you, to live. But it’s hard to know how to get there.

That’s where the breath becomes your bridge.

Pranayama carries you inward. From posture to presence, from doing to being. It’s the inner technology that reconnects you to your true nature and helps your outer life come into harmony with it.

When you learn to work with prana, you remember that clarity and steadiness aren’t things you have to chase. They already live within you.

And the more you return to that source, the more your outer life begins to align around it: your choices, your relationships, your sense of purpose.

This is what it means to Breathe Beyond the Mat.

Inside this journey you’ll learn how to bring that sense of presence and steadiness into every part of your life.

✅ Learn the ancient art and science of pranayama — the bridge between body and mind.

✅ Create your own structured pranayama practice that fits your daily life.

✅ Carry the energy, clarity, and connection of yoga into everything you do.

What's Inside?

Breathe Beyond the Mat is a 7-module, step-by-step journey that teaches you the yogic art and science of pranayama, from techniques to the deeper teachings, so you can build your own structured pranayama practice.

Together, these elements create a guided journey — one that moves step by step through the layers of pranayama practice, from foundation to refinement, from outer awareness to inner stillness.

This course is approved by Yoga Alliance for 30 Continuing Education credits (CEs), making it the perfect way for registered teachers to deepen their study of pranayama while earning professional development hours.

Here's what you'll get:

✅ 7 weekly live learning sessions to deepen your understanding of pranayama and yogic philosophy

✅ 6 live guided practice and Q+A sessions to integrate techniques and receive personal support

✅ Pre-recorded video lessons covering every technique and concept you’ll learn

✅ 1–2 easy-to-follow practice protocols each week so you can immediately apply what you’re learning

✅ Lifetime access to all recordings and future updates, including replays of every live session

✅ A private online community of like-minded yogis for accountability, discussion, and support

✅ Beautifully designed workbook to guide your reflection and integration throughout your journey

The Modules

We'll move through one module each week, with each one building on the last, guiding you from awareness to integration, from learning the techniques to living them.

Module 1: Meet Your Breath

Build awareness and ritual. Discover pranayama as the bridge between body and mind, and begin cultivating presence and steadiness beneath every practice.

Module 2: The Method

Transform discipline into devotion. Learn the structured pranayama method as taught in the Dharma Yoga lineage — balancing energy, refining focus, and awakening inner awareness.

Module 3: Build Breath Intelligence

Deepen consistency and confidence. Refine technique, introduce gentle ratios, and explore how the breath moves through the subtle energy channels of the body.

Module 4: Harness the Pause

Step into stillness. Integrate safe breath retentions and learn to engage the bandhas to cultivate concentration and access deeper layers of awareness.

Module 5: Breathing for Conditions

Discover that there’s a pranayama for every condition. Learn how to regulate your energy — to heat, to cool, to calm, or to uplift — using the breath as your most precise and powerful tool.

Module 6: Breath + Concentration

Focus the mind through sound and vibration. Explore bija mantras and sound breathing to balance subtle energy and experience one-pointed attention.

Module 7: Integration + Design

Bring it all together. Design your personal pranayama sequence and establish a sustainable daily ritual that supports your growth — on and off the mat.

You’ll learn 1–2 easy-to-follow practice protocols each week designed to help you integrate what you’re learning.

Early modules introduce short, accessible practices you can use right away.

As you progress, the practices become more modular and customizable, giving you a “plug-and-play” toolkit to design your own practice by the end of the course.

Begin creating a breath practice that anchors your body, mind, and spirit in unity.

Why Pranayama is the Missing Link

in Your Practice

The Yogic Blueprint

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali identifies pranayama as the bridge between the outer and inner limbs of yoga. The practice that links posture and ethical living with concentration and meditation.

Without it, yoga remains physical. With it, the path becomes complete.

The Science of Five Minutes

It takes mere minutes to shift your physiology and how you feel. Modern studies show that even five minutes of slow, rhythmic breathing can:

Reduce amygdala activity by up to 40 percent, easing emotional reactivity
Increase heart-rate variability, a key marker of nervous-system resilience
Boost alpha-wave activity in the brain, associated with calm focus

Accessible by Design

You don’t need years of experience or advanced techniques to benefit from pranayama. Even foundational practices begin restoring balance, focus, and connection from the very first session.

What Students are Saying

A practice that’s both healing and awakening.

“Practicing pranayama with Jen reminded me that whatever I’m searching for is already within me.

Her guidance pulled me out of a period of seasonal depression and helped me release so much I’d been carrying.

It’s rare to experience a practice that feels both healing and awakening at the same time, but that’s exactly what her teaching brought forward.”

Sarita T.

An anchor when life felt demanding.

“Taking Jen’s pranayama training was a truly enriching experience.

Each week built beautifully on the last, creating a steady anchor during a demanding time in my life.

Jen is deeply grounded in the authentic teachings of yoga, and her instruction made the practice accessible and empowering.

I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone ready to deepen their practice.”

Kristin V.

Mind, body, and breath — finally in tune.

“Jen’s pranayama classes feel like a magical experience.

She carries you from active, energizing breath to calm awareness with such skill and ease.

By the end, my body, mind, and breath feel completely harmonized — like all the instruments in an orchestra, finally in tune.”

How Much Does Breathe Beyond the Mat Cost?

Maybe you’ve never tried pranayama before, or maybe you’ve only dipped your toes in: a few rounds at the end of class, a guided video on YouTube, or a breathwork app when life feels heavy.

It’s a beautiful start, but it keeps you dependent on someone else’s voice, their plan, their intention for the practice.

So your breath stays borrowed, and the energy, clarity, and connection come and go with whoever is guiding you.

You could spend years piecing together techniques or thousands on advanced trainings trying to find a clear, structured approach. But that’s the long, uncertain (and often costly) route.

If you’re anything like me, you want to understand the why behind the what — and you want to do it your way, for you.

This is your chance to learn a time-tested framework rooted in the Dharma Yoga lineage — a complete system that will give you the know-how and freedom to build and adapt your own pranayama practice for the rest of your life.

You can learn it all for just $297,
or choose three monthly payments of $115.

Hi,

I'M JEN.

I’m a dedicated student of Sri Dharma Mittra, with more than 1,500 hours of yoga training, and the co-founder of Yoga Commons — a studio devoted to blending tradition, community, and modern practice.

I serve as faculty for multiple Yoga Teacher Trainings and have been featured on podcasts such as Native Yoga and by brands including Maitreya. My teaching draws from the depth of Dharma Yoga and the discipline of Ashtanga and Rocket, guiding students to experience yoga as a complete path — from movement to meditation to mastery of breath — and ultimately, to living yoga as a way of life.
