What is Pranayama?

pranayama

The word Pranayama (breathing excercises) in Sanskrit is made up of two essential parts- Prana and Ayama.

It is the essential energy which actually manifests itself as one of the most self-energizing forces which embrace the body of a person. When this particular force enfolds in the body with entire control, it is termed as Pranayama.
