or her specific needs and physical condition. They involve vertical,
horizontal, and cyclical movements, which provide energy to the system
by directing the blood supply to the areas of the
body which need it most.
In yoga, each cell is observed, attended to, and provided with a fresh
supply of blood, allowing it to function smoothly. The mind is naturally
active and dynamic, while the innerself is luminous. In this section we
will give you plenty of yoga images and instruction. Breathing Pose

beneficial effects on your wellbeing, ranging from increasing your
energy, to improved relaxation into sleep. It purifies the body by
flushing away the gaseous by products of metabolism and will also help
you to remain calm in the face of the challenges that we encounter in
our everyday lives.
Control of the breath is an essential element in the art of yoga. When

Before starting the Asanas (as-anas) or the yogic postures, it is vital
that you start with the practice of Pranayama (praa-na-yaa-ma) or the
yogic breathing exercises.
And what is Yogic Breathing (Pranayama)
Pranayama is loosely translated as prana (pra-aana) or breathe control.
Breathing affects our state of mind. It can make us excited or calm,
tense or relaxed. It can make our thinking confused or clear. In the
ancient yogic tradition, air is the primary source of life force, a
psycho-physio-spiritual force that permeates the universe. Yogic
breathing is used in yoga as a separate practice to help clear and
cleanse the body and mind. It oxygenates the lungs by getting rid of
enormous quantity of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases. It is also
used in preparation for asana, the practice of yogic postures and
meditation, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the
mind.
