What are the benefits of Pranayama?

Ganeshbabu G
31/08/2016 0 0

On a physical level by using pranayama techniques we can utilise and strengthen the whole range of our respiratory organs. We explore the lower, middle and upper parts of the breath and regulate the inhalation, retention and exhalation of the breath. A regular pranayama practice can stimulate the parasympathetic system.

Our breathing patterns are also very closely linked to our emotional states. We will breathe in a different way when we are angry, when we are excited, tired or when we are nervous. However, it works the other way too. We can calm or energize ourselves by changing our breathing patterns.  Even by just taking time out to consciously to become more aware of our breath we can help to start to alter our emotional states.
