RODNEY YEE WOULD LIKE YOU TO STOP, sit or
lie down, listen, and feel. The iconic yoga teacher—
who pioneered accessible asana practices through
the creation of instructional DVDs—has become
an ardent advocate of restorative yoga, body-scan
meditation, and pranayama. To Yee, pranayama
refers to techniques that help you relax and return
to your natural, easy way of breathing. In the fol-
lowing pages, learn more about his approach, then
practice an exclusive restorative sequence designed
to help you relax, open up your diaphragm, and
prepare to welcome prana—your essential life
force. This calming sequence off ers a taste of Yee’s
new Yoga Journal Master Class workshop on begin-
ning a pranayama practice, launching next month.Rodney
