What is Pranayama?
Pranayama is one of the main component of Yoga. It is the breathing technique used to link the Body, Emotions, Mind and Spirit and is split in to four phases:
- PURAKA is the inhalation.
- KUMBHAKA is when the breath is held in.
- RECHAKA is the exhalation.
- SHUNYAKA is when the breath is held out.
When these four phases are used together in certain patterns they can greatly impact you, your health and your wellbeing.
