P r a n a y a m a ( Breath Work )
Pranayama refers to specific techniques that use retention with bandhas (energy locks) to purify our energy channels (nadis) and improve the body’s capacity to retain and increase prana (Life force or vitality).
​
This ancient practice typically involves breathing techniques that are designed to consciously engage the breath, like Ujjayi Pranayama or Nadi Shodhana Pranayama. By regulating the breath in this way, pranayama techniques can improve cardiovascular functioning, blood circulation to the brain, and metabolic and endocrine activities.
​
On a spiritual level, we practice pranayama breathing in yoga and meditation to reach deeper states of relaxation and self-awareness. It’s also an effective tool for stimulating the energy system, balancing the chakras and regulating the nervous system.

Meditation springs naturally out of a pranayama (breath awareness) practice. As well as pranayama being a 'practice' in its own right it is often harnessed as a gateway into Meditation.
​
There are countless benefits to cultivating a daily meditation practice. It is a well known technique that aids in stress and anxiety reduction, research shows that it also helps to enhance your mood, promote healthy sleep patterns, and boost cognitive skills.
