Pranayama

Pranayama is initially the process whereby this immense energy is accessed directly by the systematic application of structured breathing practices. Continuing Pranayama practice then utilises this connection with the primary cosmic force to profoundly influence the individual on all levels – physical, emotional, energetic, mental and spiritual.

Pranayama is a body of practices that progressively encompasses mechanical precision (sectional breathing), energetic control (prana mudras), vibrational healing (mantra), manipulation of core energy (rhythms and ratios), bring the energy bodies (koshas) into alignment, purification of Surya and Chandra Nadis and the awakening of various energies with the practice of Classical Pranayama.

Pranayama is the quintessential energy practice of Yoga. It is the catalyst around which the body/mind complex is lifted to a higher vibration: it is from this point that the deepest aspects of Yoga can be experienced.
