Content: Can I combine Pranayama and Asana in the practicum?

The evaluating teacher would like to see you teach Pranayama on its own, in order to see a clear explanation of the Pranayama, along with clear cueing, demonstration, and perhaps sharing of some of the benefits of that particular breath work. 

However, once you have fulfilled that criteria of the practicum, by teaching and demonstrating several rounds of your chosen Pranayama on its own, then you may choose to incorporate your pranayama into your asana practice, if appropriate.

For example, if your chosen Pranayama for your practicum is Ujjayi, you may demonstrate and teach several rounds from a standing or seated position, before inviting your students to use it in the asana portion of practice.

There is certain Pranayama, such as Nadi Shodhana, that would always be taught on its own, as it is not the type of Pranayama that you would integrate into the asana practice.

Remember that your practicum is intended for beginner students, who will need to be clearly and mindfully guided through this new way of breathing, to be able to fully understand and integrate it into their own bodies and practice.
