Pranayama

Pranayama is a practice from ancient Indian yoga that focuses on controlling breath to enhance physical and mental well-being. The term means "life force expansion" and involves various techniques of breathing, such as inhaling, exhaling, and breath retention. Through these exercises, practitioners aim to increase mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve overall health. Regular practice can lead to better lung capacity, enhanced relaxation, and increased focus. Pranayama is often integrated into yoga sessions, but it can also be practiced independently to promote inner peace and balance.
