Pranayama Yoga Breathing, Benefits & Excercies

New learners of Yoga and meditation overlook or, rather, are not able to see the inner mechanics of the Yoga Asanas. This means they are also not able to see the relevance of Pranayama immediately.

 

Learning the spiritual science of Pranayama Yoga requires dedication as results may take time to show. With a proper schedule to practice Pranayama Yoga, the Prana (energy) starts to swell. However, if the routine is broken, it acts like a barrier in the free flow of Prana. So one should practice Pranayama Yoga and chant in the morning at a fixed time every day after taking bath. It is better to do Pranayama after other Asanas and before meditation. The place of Asana must be clean and peaceful with proper ventilation, but avoid sitting under a fan on full speed or air-conditioning that is way too cold. Also, avoid doing Pranayama Yoga for three to four hours after meals. As time passes, the practitioner would be able to practice Pranayama Yoga for more than five minutes.

 

There is a lot to be learnt about this scientific breathing. Experienced Yoga teachers in Delhi, India can impart all the necessary guidelines of doing Pranayama Yoga.

 

Always remember, Pranayama is a higher form of breathing or “Deerghaswashana” as there is a systematic flow of both the incoming breath / inhalation (Puraka) and outgoing breath / exhalation (Rechaka) monitored or regulated by mind. As a result of this controlled breathing process, both in terms of time and pace, the individual gains mental clarity and physical vigour.

 

The free flowing Prana is a strong symbol of overall wellbeing. The practitioner of Pranayama Yoga can be distinguished from others in the crowd due to the positive aura around the body.

So be patient and see the seed of Pranayama Yoga blossom into a bright flower.
