A 64-day Tantric Pranayama Sadhana for vitality, energetic sensitivity, and inner expansion

An intimate guided online immersion where breath becomes light, energy becomes tangible, and practice becomes a path of conscious transformation.

This is the next chapter after Breath & Tides. Having learned to settle the nervous system, regulate the inner waters, and establish a steady inner ground, we now turn toward the solar dimension of practice: learning to build, contain, refine, and direct energy. Through a progressive journey of traditional Pranayama, Bandhas, Kriyas, Yoga Nidra, and Somatic Exploration, you will develop a more intimate relationship with Prana—not as an idea, but as a lived experience.

Luminous Breath is a 64-day online immersion designed to guide you through advanced traditional pranayama practices that cultivate vitality, energetic sensitivity, and conscious relationship with Prana.

At the heart of the journey is Pancha Sahita, a profound breathwork technique rooted in the tantric tradition and transmitted as a living Sadhana. The practice progressively works with the lungs, liver, digestive system, elimination system, and heart through specific breath ratios designed to restore balance at the energetic level before it manifests physically.

With this foundation, we dive into the Pancha Laya Kriyas—advanced energetic practices that use breath, visualization, concentration, and bandhas to dissolve energetic blockages and reconnect us with our deeper energetic blueprint.

Alongside these core practices, we will explore:

• The intelligent use of Bandhas as tools to build, contain, and direct Prana

• Yoga Nidra for deep restoration and integration

• Somatic explorations of the organs inspired by Body-Mind Movement studies

• Lectures and teachings that bridge ancient yogic wisdom with embodied experience

This is not a collection of techniques.

It is a pilgrimage into the subtle body. A training in becoming luminous.

A gradual awakening of the inner light that emerges when breath, awareness, and energy begin to move as one.

If Breath & Tides was about learning to rest within the waters of your inner world, Luminous Breath is about discovering the light that shines through them.

The invitation is to become luminous

The waters have become calm enough to reflect the sun. The ground has become steady enough to support growth. This journey begins there. At the threshold where stability becomes sensitivity, and sensitivity becomes a doorway to illuminate the subtle dimensions of your inner world towards empowerment, expansion, and light.

ALREADY A YOGA TEACHER?  GREAT!

"LUMINOUS BREATH" IS REGISTERED AS A CONTINUING EDUCATION  COURSE WITH YOGA ALLIANCE

Stop searching outside for what's within

The subtle dimensions of life cannot be understood through information alone. They are discovered through direct experience. Through a steady and devoted practice, breath becomes a doorway into a world that has always been here — waiting not to be learned, but to be perceived.

Open that doorway for me

During this 64-day journey we will progressively explore the solar dimensions of pranayama practice.

You will be guided through the complete Pancha Sahita Sadhana, foundational training in Bandhas, Yoga Nidra practices, somatic explorations of the organs, and advanced Pancha Laya Kriyas.

Each day you will receive practices, lectures, written guidance, and integration material designed to support steady progression.

Most daily practices require approximately 20–30 minutes.

As the journey unfolds and practices deepen, some sessions may require additional time.

Ready to experience breath as a source of inner radiance?

Many people discover breathwork through stress, anxiety, or the desire to feel better. This journey invites something beyond healing. A gradual awakening of sensitivity to the subtle currents of life moving within and around you. A living relationship with breath as a source of energy, vitality, and expansion.

Count me in!

This journey creates the conditions for the breath to become more than a physiological process—it becomes a doorway into a more intimate relationship with vitality, perception, and the subtle currents that shape our experience of being alive. Through steady engagement with the practices, you may experience:

  • Greater vitality, resilience, and access to life-force energy

  • Increased sensitivity to the subtle movements of energy within and around the body

  • A deeper connection to your body's innate healing and regenerative capacities

  • Greater confidence working with advanced pranayama practices, breath retentions, and bandhas

  • A felt experience of inner radiance, expansion, and aliveness that extends beyond formal practice and into daily life

Hi, I'm Janaina

I feel honored to walk alongside you on this journey!

The deeper I travel into the world of breath, the more I realize that breath is not simply a wellness tool.

It is a bridge.

A bridge between body and consciousness.

Between the visible and the invisible.

Between the person we believe ourselves to be and the vast field of life moving through us.

My intention with Luminous Breath is to offer a safe, grounded, and intelligent progression into the more subtle dimensions of pranayama practice.

Not through force.

Not through extraordinary experiences.

But through consistency, curiosity, and direct embodied experience.

I look forward to walking this next chapter with you.

I hope these teachings can inspire transformation and personal growth, and open up a world of magic that already lies within and around you!

With love,

Janaina

There’s so many adjectives I could use to describe Jana and the course she’s offering: transformational! Jana has a way of explaining things in a very clear and easy-to-understand way which will ensure you’re not going to miss any bit of these ancient teachings. She has a radiant positive energy that is very contagious. For me, this course changed the way I view the world (and myself) and I can’t wait to see where the journey will take me! Jump in!

Laura Sanchez

Janaina's knowledge and way to approach teaching is just amazing. In a year that has not been easy for me, her classes have not only showed me the meaning of Yoga but opened my mind and heart. I am taking away from this course so many things to apply not only to my practice but to the way I live in this physical world. She is hands down one of my favourite teachers from all the ones I had, because of her honesty, openness and will to share her knowledge beyond the parameters of the course. She is always accessible through private messages, and her videos are always engaging to a point I nod or smile alone. I will be always thankful to her for guiding me in this new path and stage in my life. I cannot recommend enough!

I can't express how grateful I am for meeting Jana. It was a transformational experience, and I could not recommend this course more! Jana is a beautiful soul - learning by her side is a pure pleasure.

Keiko Oka

Japan

I sincerely thank Jana from the bottom of my heart for creating this beautiful program and her dedication to sharing her invaluable knowledge with us. Her way of teaching is very methodological and well-structured. Energy work is subtle and takes a lot of patience and practice, but the sense of finally coming home to my true simplest self has been such a rewarding experience! There is so much love and warmth in her classes. I know no other teacher who is more dedicated than Jana. She takes time for everybody and every single question. Plus, just being in an orbit of her burning passion and deep conviction already was very inspiring and has made the whole learning experience even more meaningful. What I learned from her in this course, as well as having met a teacher I felt like I had been looking for, will always be my lifetime treasures! Arigatou, Jana sensei!

Alessia Laudoni

With this course I have learned tools that help me to better direct my energy right where I feel I need it, for the rebalancing of mind and body, for peace. These teachings guide us to the luminous space within us, which we often do not perceive due to our constant lack of presence. Tantric Yoga pushes us to this openness. Taking this course has been the best gift I have given myself. I am eternally grateful to you, Jana!

Léa Vendrami

Wow! Well, that was a deep dive! I can highly recommend this course to anyone, especially those who are curious and would like to take their practice to another magical level. Thank you Jana xo

Claudia Milone-Hassall

When I first started Yoga some years ago I remember telling Jana that I couldn’t do certain poses, and she told me that Asana is only a tiny part of Yoga practice. By that time I thought ‘what does she mean?’ but now the puzzle is coming together! I am very grateful to have started this journey with Jana. Thank you, Jana, for being in my life and in the lives of many! Namaste, JanaJi!

Breath is the light that reveals the unseen

As awareness deepens, breath becomes more than air moving through the body. It becomes a bridge to the subtle dimensions of experience — where energy can be felt, refined, and consciously directed. What once seemed invisible begins to reveal itself, illuminating the extraordinary life that moves quietly beneath the ordinary.

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 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. You will have the option to join the monthly live sessions if you enroll between 19th Oct and 21st Dec, 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 (or the day you purchase it).

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

    All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the course platform, so you can watch them anytime.

  • Do I need to have completed Breath & Tides before doing this course?

    Strongly recommended but not mandatory. The practices in Luminous Breath build directly upon the foundations established in Breath & Tides, particularly breath awareness, retention, and energetic sensitivity. So you will definitely take more out of the course if you’ve taken Breath & Tides.

  • What is the daily time commitment?

    Most daily practices require between 20–30 minutes, though some advanced practices may require additional time.

  • 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]
