A 30-day Tantric Pranayama Sadhana for nervous system regulation & emotional health

An intimate guided online immersion where breath becomes prayer, rhythm becomes refuge, and practice becomes a living trail back to consciousness.

A deep dive into the subtle intelligence of breath — where practice unfolds in rhythms and awareness learns to stay steady as inner tides begin to move. A devoted journey to remember how to rest inside yourself, again and again.

This course is a 30-day online immersion guiding you through a complete traditional Pranayama Sadhana called Ekadasi, a profound breathwork technique rooted in the tantric lineage and transmitted as a living sadhana.

This is not a drop-in class or a collection of random techniques. It is a progressive, rhythmic, and embodied journey designed to be practiced consistently over time, allowing breath to penetrate deeply into the layers of the subconscious mind to clear out physical and energy blockages. This journey unfolds gradually, allowing the breath to slowly reorganize your inner landscape — nervous system, energy flow, and perception.

Explore a step-by-step methodology to build a relationship with breath that can hold you through change, intensity, and transformation.

Open the doors to the abundant, vibrant, life-giving energies around and within you!

The invitation is to remain the witness

Just as the moon reflects light while tides rise and fall below, in this journey you are invited to cultivate steady awareness as sensations, thoughts, and emotions move through you. The work here is not about intensity — it is about staying present as things naturally settle.

Depth does not come from more practices

Many people collect breathing techniques, yet feel ungrounded. What’s missing is not knowledge — it’s continuity. Setting the ground. If you are ready to let breath become the ground that can hold you through change, intensity, and transformation, join us!

Yes, I'm up for that!

During this 30-Day journey we will explore the roadmap to Ekadasi - a tantric Pranayama Sadhana designed to support emotional settling, nervous system reset, and a deeper relationship with Prana.

Each day you will receive a set of practices, written material and detailed guidance on how to follow the content, allowing you to move through a wise and intelligent progression as you go through different stages of the journey that culminate with Ekadasi techniques.

Practices will have an average of 20min duration per day, except during the Ekadasi technique, where you will be required to invest a little more time. Bonus practices will be available from Day 1, and lecture videos/written material will be spread over the 30 days journey.

Ready to experience breath as a daily anchor instead of an occasional practice?

Most people approach pranayama sporadically — as an add-on, a tool, or something to “fix” a state. This journey invites something different: a living, sustainable relationship with breath

Count me in!

This journey creates the inner ground needed for advanced yogic practices — and for living with greater presence, health, and empowerment. Through steady engagement with this Sadhana, you may experience:

  • A felt sense of inner refuge, accessible through breath in moments of intensity

  • A structure of accountability through a guided program of daily Pranayama practice, to help you refine your relationship with prana as lived sensation, not abstract concept

  • Breath as a pathway back to consciousness, not just a technique you remember intellectually

  • Tapping into the body’s own capacity for self-healing and regeneration

  • An embodied knowledge of the energetic and mental impact of breathwork practices, strengthening your capacity to cultivate presence

Hi, I'm Janaina

I am a movement researcher and educator, bodywork therapist and dance artist, with a lifelong curiosity about the relationship between body, mind, breath and consciousness.

Along the way of my research with the body, I have become increasingly fascinated by the subtle dimensions of our experience — the ways energy moves through us, how our inner landscape shapes our perception, and how the breath can become a bridge between our physical experience and deeper layers of awareness.

My relationship with pranayama has evolved through years of personal practice, study, teaching and experimentation. What is fascinating to me is how the breath is intimately connected to our emotional states, our nervous system, our vitality and our capacity to be present. Through working with it, we begin to discover a much subtler language — one that invites us to listen rather than control, to sense rather than simply understand.

I am particularly interested in how practices can become living experiences rather than remaining concepts or techniques we learn intellectually. For me, the depth of pranayama doesn't come from accumulating more techniques or pushing ourselves towards particular experiences. It comes from cultivating sensitivity, understanding the effects of our practice and developing a steady, attentive relationship with the breath over time.

I created Breath & Tides to share this exploration and offer a structured pathway into the practice of traditional Tantric Pranayama. My intention is to guide you through a progressive journey where knowledge and experience support one another, allowing you to develop a more intimate relationship with your breath, your inner landscape and the subtle intelligence of Prana.

I hope this journey becomes more than something you complete over 30 days. I hope it gives you tools and inspiration to continue exploring, and that the practice becomes a ritual you can return to throughout the different tides of your life.

I feel honored to share these teachings with you and accompany you along the way.

With love,
Janaina

“I was looking for guidance as to how to build a consistent breathing practice, and Breath & Tides was just right for that. I loved that the course built gradually; nothing felt rushed or ‘too much’. The key is to let the nervous system get comfortable with small daily steps and then build up on that. One of the biggest gifts was the increase in confidence and the trust towards myself”

Alessia Laudoni

Italy

“Breath & Tides offers a beautiful balance between structure and freedom, and it can become a very personal journey of grounding, awareness, trust, and deeper connection with the breath and body. I’ve also developed a greater ability to stay present and centered even in challenging situations, while feeling more freedom to explore the practice in my own way.”

Willemijn

“As a yoga teacher, I love how you share so much information about the subject, but also about your experiences with practice. Where I feel a lot of courses stay on the surface, you go deep. This course has given me so much strength, while your guidance feels gentle but also clear and honest.”

Sarah Beye

Germany

“This course helped me to establish a daily breathing practice, that I am still sticking to and that lightens up every day.”

Our breath is the wing of our soul...

...necessary for our flight towards freedom. To free ourselves is not about becoming someone new, it's about allowing what has been held to finally release and settle

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this a live training or I can go at my own pace?

    This is a hybrid program, with pre-recorded material and live sessions running over the 30-day period it is being offered. Even though a schedule is suggested, you can take the course at your own pace and you will have access to all content (including live session recordings) for a whole year. All content is recorded and will be available on the course page. You will have the option to join the monthly live sessions if you enroll between during the period it is being offered live, or watch the recordings later on.

  • Can I sign up to the course at any time? How long will I have access to the course?

    Yes, you can sign up at any time. You will have access to the content for 12 months from the day the course is released.

  • What if I can’t attend the live sessions?

    All live sessions are recorded and available for replay.

  • What is the time commitment?

    This is a 30-day program, where each day you will receive a set of practices, written material and detailed guidance on how to follow the content. Practices will have an average of 20min duration per day, except during the Ekadasi technique, where you will be required to invest a little more time. Bonus practices will be available from Day 1, and lecture videos/written material will be spread over the 30 days journey.

  • Which level of experience is required to do this course?

    Previous experience with breathwork is necessary, but it doesn’t need to be necessarily through yogic practices. The course is structured progressively and emphasizes awareness and safety, which makes it accessible for people with some kind of experience with pranayama/breathwork. If you have practiced any kind of breathwork before and you are able to work with breath retention, this program is accessible for you. Intermediate and experienced practitioners are welcome and will often appreciate the depth, structure, and continuity of the program.

  • How does this course stand out from others?

    There are for sure lots of great courses out there. The only problem I see is that many offer great intellectual information but very few opportunities for integration from an embodiment perspective, so we end up without ever really feeling like we own that knowledge. Information that doesn’t become an embodied experience rarely leads to change. This course has the purpose to offer an embodied experience of how the mastery of the breath can transform ourselves and our lives. The secret is in the practice!

  • Can this course count as Continuing Education with Yoga Alliance?

    Yes, this course can count as your ‘continuing education’ commitment with Yoga Alliance if you are a registered Yoga teacher (RYT). At the end of the course you will find detailed instructions on how to register your CE hours with Yoga Alliance on their website.

  • What if I have questions once I start? Is there someone I can reach out to ask?

    We will have a group chat on Telegram for the course participants to ask questions, exchange information, share experiences and reflections, etc (you will find instructions on how to enter the chat once you enroll). There you can ask any questions you might have during the course and it is also a good opportunity for things to get more clear to everyone. And of course, I’m here to support your learning journey, so you can send me a direct message through Telegram and I’ll do my best to respond within 48hours. You can also email me directly on: [email protected]
