Mychal V. Prieto

Are you a teacher, facilitator, or breathwork enthusiast? Are you passionate about evolving, growing, and showing up for yourself and others in a way that’s grounded, confident, and rooted in authenticity? This training + immersion is an initiation into the living lineage of the breath. It is a passage designed to anchor you in presence, integrity, and embodied wisdom, so that you may hold others with safety, clarity, and confidence as they journey inward. It is all about the nervous system. Through guided, and self-exploration, you will learn how to lead 1:1 + group breathwork sessions using: up-regulating breathwork techniques, breath retentions, down-regulation techniques, and a variety of pranayama practices. We will take time to explore, through direct experience how these practices affect, regulate, and harmonize the autonomic nervous system. Co-facilitated by LA-based sound alchemist Raquel Barrantes @innocentlywild_ we will also explore integrating live sound (through instruments, music, and voice) and how specific sound frequencies attune to the elements and chakras This summer, at @gaiavillajoshuatree located in Joshua Tree, CA. July 12-16th If you’re ready to take your facilitation + guiding to the next level then this training is for you LINK IN BIO

In yoga, drishti is commonly known as your gaze point. A place to steady the eyes and focus the mind. But drishti is also a deeper practice of attention, awareness, and embodiment. It asks you to fully inhabit the moment instead of rushing toward the outcome. Building toward peak postures is not just about achieving the “final shape.” It’s about developing the strength, mobility, breath, patience, and presence that support the posture along the way. In Drishti: Building to Peak Postures, Mychal Prieto guides you through intentional progressions that help you understand not only where to place your body, but how to stay connected to yourself within the process. Because the real practice is learning how to focus, adapt, and remain steady through challenge.

Drishti is often translated as “focused gaze” in yoga, but it’s more than where you place your eyes. It’s the quality of attention you bring to the practice. Where your energy goes. The ability to stay steady when strength, balance, and effort begin to intensify. In Mychal’s new program, Drishti, each class is designed to intelligently build toward a peak posture through progressive preparation, thoughtful sequencing, and repetition that creates understanding in the body. This isn’t about forcing your way into advanced shapes. It’s about developing the awareness, coordination, mobility, and stability that allows the posture to emerge with greater clarity. Today’s peak posture: Eka Pada Koundinyasana. A shape that asks for strength, integration, focus, and trust.

Holding the breath at the bottom is a different story Because CO2 is rising faster and oxygen is dropping quickly, the urge to breathe is more present Relaxing into it is the key. Practice refines the key What is accessed, felt, experienced, or revealed is a personal and unpredictable experience I believe it’s a space where truths reside. Truths that are beyond, words, thoughts, and opinions. Beneath the layers, masks, titles, and projections. Our individual truths. A sacred space What have you experienced when retaining on empty? *Spaces are still available for the breathwork training in July.

Holding at the🔝 Where you retain/hold your breath matters! Naturally, when we hold our breath at the top of an inhale it’s typically due to feelings of excitement, fear, or shock. Or nervous system kicks into sympathetic mode: fight, flight, or freeze So why practice this? My belief is that, during a breathwork practice, when we consciously step into sympathetic mode + heighten it by retaining on full it can provide one the opportunity to be able to train and practice remaining calm, grounded, and present while being in an activated state Why does that matter? The more we can self regulate while living in the beauty and the madness that surrounds us in this world, including people, places, and events, the better. Do you agree? Holding on full can also support ones focus, energy, and enthusiasm And, at the end of the day, you’ve got a practice it on your own to find out what works for you. There is nothing more truthful then your own lived experience. Come breathe with me at @op_e___n on Saturdays at 1230pm ✨ #breathe #yoga #mindfulness #breathwork #breathworkfacilitator

The retentions during a breathwork practice tend to be some of the most beautiful + potent, for myself, and for others that I’ve spoken with Are they mandatory for a powerful, deep, and transformative experience? No Do they present an opportunity to increase focus? Yes Do they present an opportunity to increase resiliency in one’s nervous system? Yes Do they present an opportunity to strengthen the minds capacity to calmly navigate stress? Yes Do they present an opportunity to drop beneath the noise of the external world into a place of peace, silence, and serenity? Yes AND, where you retain (top vs bottom) matters! As well as what your physically engaging (bandhas) while retaining Stay tuned, we’re getting into that next ✨ What’s your experience with breath retentions? #breathwork #breathe #yoga #meditation #breathworkfacilitator

Wednesday 4.29.26 || 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM | 1216 Abbot Kinney | Venice Come breathe with @mychalangelo again! Join us at the OGT Oasis for a collective moment of pause, presence, and reconnection. Through guided breathwork, meditation, and live sound, we’ll soften the noise of the mind, expand space for clarity, and gently attune the nervous system to a more harmonious rhythm. Together, we will breathe, we will settle, and we will come back into coherence. The meditations will emphasize integrating five healthy breathing qualities as referred to in the Vishoka meditation tradition. The awareness and application of these qualities are foundational tools for any meditation practice, as well as life. We will close with tea and quiet integration, allowing the practices to steep and settle within. Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, luminous, and renewed to take on the rest of your day. Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes early. We’ll begin promptly at 12pm. This is a complementary community offering. Space is limited. RSVP to reserve your spot.
