Though incidence of diseases like cardio-vascular and nervous system disorders is increasing rapidly, there are simple solutions and disciplines that can stem and even reverse most such disease processes. These simple solutions have been practiced and perfected for many thousands of years. One such technique is reprogramming your natural breathing. Yes, it’s not only possible but proven too. In fact leading cardiac experts are advocating the benefits of “correct” breathing to their patients.

Surprising as it is, almost none of us use the full capacity of our respiratory organs. This is aggravated by our sedentary lifestyles and leads to several complications popularly called - lifestyle disorders.

Breathing is so simple and so obvious we often take it for granted, ignoring the power it has to affect body, mind and spirit. With each inhale we bring oxygen into the body and spark the transformation of nutrients into fuel. Each exhale purges the body of carbon dioxide, a toxic waste. Breathing also affects our state of mind. It can make us excited or calm, tense or relaxed. It can make our thinking confused or clear

However, by training our body to breathe in particular ways, we re-program our involuntary system to adopt such ways thus allowing for self healing, longevity and vitality.. 

In Ayurvedic Medicine, Pranayama is loosely translated as prana or breath control. The ancient yogis developed many breathing techniques to maximize the benefits of prana, the life force. Pranayama techniques are used in Ayurvedic Medicine to help clear and detoxify the body and mind. Such breathing practices, for just a few minutes a day, can increase vitality, focus, health and longevity.  Different Pranayama techniques are effective in healing dysfunctions such as asthma, obesity, pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety and more.

The regular practice of Pranayama is central to achieving a deeper and more effective state of meditation.
