Introduction to Yoga breathing for beginners
The body can go for many weeks without food and for days without water or sleep, but life will cease in a matter of minutes without air. Thus, the primary element of life is derived from the air we breathe. In yoga, this subtle element is known as prana or life-force. Prana is not the air itself but the subtle life-giving element extracted from the air. The more life-force you have in your body, the more "alive" you are; the less life-force, the less "life". Life-force is present in all forms of nourishment but it is accessible and most constant in the air.
Yoga Breathing or Pranayama, is the foundation of your yoga practice. It begins with deepening your breathing with the 3-part breath, then moves into more advanced breathing exercises such as Kapalabhati and the Alternate Nostril Breath. Pranayama also goes hand in hand with the Asanas. These two Yogic Principles together are considered as the highest form of purification and self-discipline, covering both mind and body. Our Pranayama videos will guide you through the steps that you need to understand in order to do the breathing excercises effortlessly and effectively.

In small doses, and SNS is necessary, but when it goes into overdrive, suffering the body and the mind. Decreased blood flow to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and prolonged high blood pressure by the fight-or-flight can lead to digestive problems, heart disease and blood vessels, and anxiety, among other conditions.
