Pracchardanvidharanabhyam va pranasya
As the vital force of energy (prana) required for one’s existence,
the very purpose of Pranayama is attaining a pristine mind.– Patanjali Yogasutra, I.34
What?
As an ancient and popular Yoga practice, Pranayama finds mention in Vedic literature, Patanjali’s Yogasutras, and Hatha Yoga texts. Classification of traditional Ashtanga Yoga recommends the practice of Pranayama, as one of the eight limbs of Yoga (The Yamas and Niyamas). Being the fourth limb, it refers to the conscious control or regulation of one’s breath for purifying the body and cleansing the mind.
Why?
- Yoga stimulates the body, mind, and soul for achieving cosmic balance.
- As a critical component of Yoga involving the nervous system, Pranayama teaches the art of respiratory rhythm and movement for achieving this harmony.
- Regular and disciplined practice of Pranayama can bring immense positivity, increased clarity, renewed vigour, and heightened inner awareness in overall emotion, thought, and behavior.
How?
- The essence of Pranayama is in controlled inhalation, retention, and controlled exhalation of the breath.
- Pranayama extends and empowers the Prana, and further revitalizes and soothes this vital energy for the body to harness it.
- Best achieved by following the appropriate posture and technique, Pranayama helps a Yogic practitioner to control and change the timing and length of the breath as required.
