Yoga Pranayama In Western Fitness & Healing with Emily Hightower

Ed Harrold and Emily Hightower share their background in Yoga Pranayama studies and explore the opportunities and challenges of breath skills becoming mainstream in the West. 

Emily Hightower was initially trained in Pranayama Yoga by Deborah Koehn and furthered her studies with many Master Teachers over the last 20 years including Ed Harrold, who gave Breath AS Medicine training to Emily and her husband on extensive weekend stays at their studio in Carbondale, CO. 

Emily began her career on a Mountain Ambulance Service as a Wilderness EMT where breath physiology played an integral role in patient diagnosis and care. Ed and Em share a love of cold plunging in wild mountain water and talk about healing from trauma by using a combination of breath, outdoor supported risk, and the power of pranayama to cultivate presence.
