“Breathing is the physical part of thinking and thinking is the psychological part of breathing.” – Ayurveda
Pranayama as a conscious breathing method is the link that connects the mind with the awareness, it is the fundamental crossing point between our body and our mind. Our breath is in constant correlation with our emotions and thoughts.

Prana is a Sanskrit word meaning Vital, subtle energy, our life force. The breath is physical manifestation of that energy. Yama means Control, restrain. So the term pranayama indicates various yogic breathing techniques which involve expansion and control of the prana within us.

Gaining control over our mind is maybe one of the most difficult things we can do in our daily life. It is in his nature to be unsteady, always influenced by the external sensations receiving through our senses and also affected by our emotions.

We can easily notice how our breathing is changing according to our emotional and mental state. Relaxed state, peace of mind and calmness cultivate slow, even breath. On the other hand, when a person is agitated, stressed, when the mind is affected by negative emotions, our breathing becomes irregular, fast and uneven.

If you conduct a regular practice of pranayama, you will be able to more consciously guide and govern the non-physical subtle energy, which will enable you to cleanse and strengthen your physical body while calming your mind.
