Yoga breathing which is known as pranayama yoga is the first step toward re-orienting and improving the functioning of your mind and body by learning to optimise the breathing process. The Yogis were the first to discover the importance of oxygen and breath control and devised an exact science of breathing. They called it PRANA-YAMA, from the Sanskrit word prana meaning breath, and yama, its cessation. Pranayama implies correct breathing and breath control.

Before starting with pranayama, it will be worthwhile to understand what is generally wrong with our breathing process and why Proper Breathing is required. Also, it is important to understand the basic philosophy of Yogic Breathing. The purpose of yoga breathing exercises is to supply the body with oxygen and cleanse it of carbon dioxide and other toxins.

Oxygen in the blood is vital for

• Assimilation of food we eat for full filling body's various needs like rebuilding tissues, supplying energy.
• Stimulating the functioning of the endocrine glands.
• Providing energy for functioning of brain, nerves, heart and other vital organs.
• Distribution of vital energy throughout the body.

But most of us are unaware of the fact that the loss of energy/ prana we often feel in our body is mostly due to incorrect breathing. Generally, we may be utilising only a small portion of our lung capacity. This inadequate supply of oxygen results in improper waste disposal from our body. The body functions are slowed down and the cells/ tissues fail to regenerate themselves due to lack of sufficient energy.

With pranayama practice you can increase your intake of oxygen upto five times. This means you can get rid of five times of carbon dioxide from your body. You can imagine the improvement in your health by doing Pranayama.

Have a nice day Mr

Yoga Session that Fits Your Lifestyle We all know that if we are unhealthy, we are less productive and it will be hard for us to achieve our goals. Imagine this, you worked so hard for ten years to get promoted to the position you have always dreamed of.
