Pranayama breathing is both a meditative practice in itself and a core feature of yoga (on a comparable level with asanas, in terms of importance). I had no idea pranayama was a thing, until a trip in Brazil opened my eyes and a subsequent trip to India educated me on the different types of practices.
I was aware of things like yoga and meditation, but I had not heard of pranayama breathing before. I was genuinely amazed at the impact it had on me. Through simply focusing on the breath, I felt a powerful calming effect throughout my body. For that reason, I want to share these techniques with you.
What Is Pranayama Breathing And Where Does It Come From?
'Pranayama' is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to 'control of breath. 'Prana' means breath or life force and 'Ayama means to control. So, you can think of it as a set of practices to control the 'prana' within your body through breathing techniques.
Pranayama breathing techniques are thought to have come into existence around the same time as yoga and meditation – in India, around 5000 BC. They are recorded within ancient texts from around this time, such as the Yoga Sutras, and these texts mention pranayama as a foundational aspect of yoga practice.
