What Is Breathwork and Its Benefits?

Why Choose Yoga Breathing?

Yoga breathing is a safe and extremely effective way to enhance overall health and vitality. In today’s modern world, many of us find ourselves going through life on autopilot, constantly bouncing from pillar to post. This continuous state affects us mentally and physically, leaving us fatigued, unbalanced and out of sorts. Yoga breathing offers a safe, simple, and effective way to get back to being in control with very quick results.

 

Yoga breathing offers many of the same benefits as meditation but is easier to learn, can be practiced anywhere and the results are very predictable. The power of breathwork is a genuine gift from the Ancient Yogis.

History of Breathwork

History of Breathwork

There is a long history of breathing practices which predate the common era having been written about in sacred tests which include Bhagavad Gita, Hathapradipika, Upanishads and Yoga Sutras.

History of Breathwork

In the 1900s, breathing practices were established as a small but important part of many yoga styles that have served as the basis for most of the contemporary classes found around the world. 

Pranayama

Contemporary Breathing

Contemporary Breathing

This is the Sanskrit term for yoga breathing. Prana means “life force”and yama means “extension” or “control”. Therefore the practice of pranayama involves controlling and extending the breath. Pranayama is the 4th limb on the 8 limbed Ashtanga path, coming after asanas (poses) and before meditation. It is presented as a gateway practice towards transcendence.
