During his residency, Neil Wadhawan guided his students through rituals and daily practices. Here, he guides us through an at-home experience combining the Djembe drum with an ancient yogic breath technique called Ujjayi Pranayama, which allows the practitioners to breathe and move in sync with the rhythm of the drum. Neil's two-minute offering is energizing, centering, and calming. Enjoy and breathe.
