Hall 1 - Pranayama - Theory and practice

"Prana" means the essential life force that keeps all life forms moving and alive. "Ayama" me extending or stretching. Pranayama therefore means extending the life force. there are various schools of thought that have their theories and practices on pranayama. the important questions to ask before starting any pranayama practice would be - do i have any ailments? do i practice my asanas regularly? do i have a qualified teacher to teach me correctly? if you are in doubt with any of these questions, then you may be at a serious health risk. Pranayama can work wonders if done correctly and exactly the opposite if not. It is clearly mentioned in all yogic texts that the body and nerves need good preparation before even attempting pranayama. this preparation comes only from a strong and regular asana practice and body cleansing techniques like "Shatkriyas". Any new practice initially has a feel good factor but it is over months or even years that the good or bad effects of pranayama practice come to light. so be wise and do the right thing !! learn more about Pranayama myths and facts in our Yoga day event on Pranayama on 23rd June
