What is Pranayama?
How does it work?
Pranayama works on our Mind and body. It relaxes and calms our Sympathetic Nervous System which is responsible for the response of “fight or flight” and stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System responsible for relaxation and rest.
It activates Nadis or Energy pathways by clearing, cleansing and strengthening the Nadis and also balances the Chakras or Energy centres. There are 72,000 to 320,000 Nadis , out of which only 4 are important. There are ida,(Left, Moon, Cool) Pingala (Right, Sun, Heat ), Sushumana runs up the centre of the spine starting from a little bit down Muldhara (root chakra) all the way into Sahasrara (crown chakra) the top of the head. And Brahmana Nadi is the core of Sushumna Nadi starting from Anahata chakras to Sahasrara (Crown Chakra).
There are different types of Pranayama to be practised in different seasons to get maximum benefits.
We can customise Individual sessions according to individual needs.
Pranayama: the primary asana in Yoga
In yoga, breath is the core of our existence. The concept of prana is taught in yogic tradition as the “life force”, and pranayama is the first practice that all yogis must master. Breathing techniques have their own specific blueprint with different physical, emotional and spiritual benefits.
