Pranayama
Pranayama is the practice of yogic breathing, using various exercises to revitalize energy, reduce stress, and improve mental capacity. Pranayama is also believed to help a practicing yogi achieve inner peace and self-realization. In fact, pranayama yoga first appeared in ancient Sanskrit texts for the purpose of attaining awareness and enlightenment.
Pranayama breathing incorporates specific techniques to achieve balance and a healthy mind, and is often used as a way to prepare for yoga asanas and meditation. By controlling and mindfully directing our breath, we can affect our energetic system, or chakras, with benefits to both mind and body. Pranayama can lower your heart rate and regulate your nervous system. Here are a few more things you should know about pranayama.
