28 Day Beginners At-Home Challenge • 17m

Pranayama is the science of breath, controlling the movement of prana through the use of breathing techniques.
Prana= life force energy
Ayam=expansion or restriction
The breath is a fundamental tool in Kundalini Yoga and is used to manipulate the flow of energy through the body. Kundalini Yoga involves many pranayama techniques, using the rhythm and depth of the breath to effect and manage different energy states of health, consciousness, and emotion.
The mind and nervous system are deeply influenced by your breathing, meaning states of anxiety, anger and nervousness can be influenced through the use of the breath.
