What is Pranayama?

Understanding the power of breath in yoga

About Pranayama

Pranayama, derived from 'Prana' (life force) and 'Ayama' (extension), is the ancient yogic science of breath control. It is the fourth limb of Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and serves as a bridge between the physical and mental practices.

Through specific breathing techniques, pranayama regulates the flow of prana (vital energy) throughout the body, purifying the nadis (energy channels), balancing the doshas, and preparing the mind for meditation.
