Yoga breathing and its benefits

What is Pranayama?

According to BKS Iyengar, "Prana" is defined as the energy, breath and wind. Prana is the life force and breath, which separated from the body.

"Ayam" extension or expansion. It also refers to the containment of the breath and life force. The extended detention Prana flow throughout the body. We spread the pranic energy in the blood and brain. Our goal is to control the prana in your body and thus control the mind.The practice of Pranayama keeps the body in vibrant health. Focus and concentration are restored.

Pranayama is practiced by the nose. Many do not breathe properly. The average person breathes with the upper lung. They breathe through the mouth and prevent the diaphragm. They tend to shrug our shoulders or abdomen contract, whist inhalation. This leads to less vitality of a limited quantity of vital air inside it is also defined, and a low resistanceDisease. The lungs are not properly rinsed of all the stale air. When we breathe through the nose warm and filter the air in our body. The breath is the smell of bodies lying on the back of the nose. Prana is therefore within reach of the central nervous system and brain.

nasal breathing is practiced in yoga asanas.
One keeps his mouth closed and breathe deeply, inhaling prana fill both the upper, middle and bottom of the lung. The bellyis based on inhalation. The diaphragm moves down, then massage the abdominal organs.

With the exhalation, move to contract the stomach and diaphragm. The heart is a good massage of this movement. This is out of the way many are opposed to using the breath and circulation. The best way is to see these in a mirror, or alternately breathing when lying down or sitting, put your hand on your belly to feel her move.

There are three phases of Pranayama asa yoga asana;


Inhalation or puraka "provides the practitioner breathes pranic energy to fill the lungs,
Exhalation or rechaka "is the next step. It should really all breathe the foul air, be sure to give enough room for a lot of good, vital energy
Retention or "kumbhaka" is the third phase. Retention is about keeping the air in your body before you exhale.

to remember when you practice pranayama without stress or tension. Stress CausesThe body is tense, which in turn causes the breath to speed, what the heart beat faster. Deep breathing will be postponed. Pranayama is practiced in a pleasant environment. You must be an environment that is not too cold or too hot. The body must be free of stress. Pranayama is the breath to relax the mind and body. In practice we observe our pace. When we relax, the heart beats more slowly. When we are stressed, confused or anxious, your heart beats faster andmore irregular. The key is to pay attention and breath.

The practice of Pranayama is of vital importance. The consideration of an energy recharge those much needed breath. Just like a baby is naptime to do adults. The practice of breathing is that nap. When you "wake up" as they are revitalized to focus like a child ready.
