Breathing – this is the first action and the last action, which all living beings do in their lifetime. Breathing is the one constant truth we all have. Without breath, there is no life; yet we hardly take notice of our breath in the daily chores.

Daily stress, tensions and physical habits can create physical and energetic obstacles in our bodies. Without even noticing, our breathing becomes gradually more shallow or stilted as we develop unconscious breathing patterns restricting the flow of breath and prana. Today so many among us suffer from bad breathing patterns and they have no idea that they are suffering from the ailment.

What is Pranayama?

Pranayama is roughly translated as extension of the life force. The word is composed by joining two Sanskrit words: ‘pranaa’, which means the life force, and ‘ayama’, which means to control the inhale and exhale of prana by implying a set of breathing techniques, where the breath is intentionally altered in order to produce specific results.

Pranayama helps in clearing the physical and emotional obstacles in our body to free the breath. Through regular and sustained practice of pranayama, one feels the change in thought patterns, a new boost of energy in the body and higher conscious levels.

At Vedic Yoga Academy, when we work on the freeing the breath through pranayama (breathing exercises), we are also working on letting the life energy flow through the body. It has the effect of energizing, relaxing and healing the body, letting everything fall into place. Literally, it is an increase and balance of life energy in your system.
