Views from the End of Expiration:

Breath & Movement Inquiry


Online Program — 12-Week Cycles | Mixed Levels | Sliding Scale



How to engage with breath in ways that teach us not only about respiration, but also about movement, perception, thought, and relationship to the world?

Views from the End of Expiration is a thoroughly guided weekly practice led by Yalda Younes, cultivating the intelligence of breath, body, and mind. Rooted in the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar, the pedagogy integrates yogic anatomy and philosophy with contemporary somatic methods, scientific insights, and creative inquiry.

The subtlety of the practice lies not so much in what postures we perform, but in how we consciously organize ourselves to unlearn dysfunctional conditioning, allowing new experiences to emerge and progressively integrating improved patterns. Over time, and through realms of patience, participants develop proprioceptive and interoceptive skills that cultivate self-knowledge, agency, and a more intentional use of the self.

Concretely, the work supports:

Postural Integrity (external movement):
Core stability, biomechanical alignment, muscular balance and coordination, joint health, and skeletal strength.

Physiological Regulation (internal movement):
Respiratory efficiency and the regulation of circulatory, hormonal, immune, digestive, and nervous systems.

Habitat Awareness (relational movement):
Conscious responsiveness to change—emotional, social, occupational, gravitational, and environmental—through an embodied understanding of interrelationality.

Mental Clarity (still movement):
Awareness of thought processes, perception, and imagination, with the emergence of discernment and equanimity.

The 12-week cycle format allows for close teacher–student follow-up within a fixed group, fostering relational depth and continuity. Sessions are relational and interactive, attending to group dynamics while honoring individual capacities and trajectories. New participants are always welcome at the start of each cycle, depending on availability.
