what is pranayama
Pranayama is the perfect control of the life-currents through control of breath, and is the process by which we understand the secret of prana and manipulate it.hen the breath is expired, it is rechaka, the first kind of pranayama. When the breath is drawn in, it is the second, termed pooraka. When the breath is suspended, it is the third kind, called kumbhaka, or retention of breath. Kumbhaka increases the life-span of an individual.
