What is Yogic Breathing or Pranayama?

‘Prana’ refers to the universal life force and ‘ayama’ means to regulate or lengthen. Prana is the vital energy needed by our physical and subtle layers, without which the body would perish. It is what keeps us alive. Pranayama is the control of prana through the breath. These techniques rely on breathing through the nostrils.

Prana flows through thousands of subtle energy channels called ‘nadis’ and energy centers called ‘chakras’. The quantity and quality of prana and the way it flows through the nadis and chakras determines one’s state of mind. If the Prana level is high and its flow is continuous, smooth and steady, the mind remains calm, positive and enthusiastic. However, due to lack of knowledge and attention to one’s breath, the nadis and chakras in the average person may be partially or fully blocked leading to jerky and broken flow. As a result one experiences increased worries, fear, uncertainty, tensions, conflict and other negative qualities.

The ancient sages of India realized these breathing techniques. Some common pranayamas include Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, and Nadi shodan pranayama. Regular practice increases and enhances the quantity and quality of prana, clears blocked nadis and chakras, and results in the practitioner feeling energetic, enthusiastic and positive. Practiced correctly under the right supervision prananyama brings harmony between the body, mind and spirit, making one physically, mentally and spiritually strong.

Ratings and reviews

Great for meditating! It's great becsuse you can customize your breathing pattern and there's an audible signal for inhale, exhale and retain so you can close your eyes and really "get in there". Simple AND Perfect!

I like this app and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to get into breathing exercises for health optimization. in particular, I like the fact that you can customize your breathing settings to whatever number of seconds you prefer. I really love that feature.

I am @ 80 +.During 1975 I studied about Breathing Yoga & occasionally followed. Even typed & kept beneath the glass of my table & followed as a routine. After Covid in 6/2021, when tried I met failures, but tried to fulfill the adopted cycles. Atlast I succeeded. So everybody must do for their problemless longevity
