Pranayama Breathing: Online Pranayama Course
Pranayama breathing is generally called “breath control/training” or “expansion of the prana’.
It consists of two words: Prana and Ayama. Prana means vital force, and it is the life force, the bio-energy that lies within anything alive in nature. Without Prana, there is no life. Ayama means expansion, extension, training, control.
This ancient yogic breathwork technique is not only a series of breathing exercises; it is more than that. It is the way to influence and expand the life force in the energy channels of our body (nadis), to achieve the highest quality of life.
