Pranayama-Learning Five Different Breathing
TechniquesforYoga Lyndsay Pyles-Rogers
“Pranayama” is composed of two Sanskrit words: “prana” and
“ayama” or “yama”. Prana translates as “life force”. Prana is
the energy behind all life expressions, moving, thinking, feeling.
“Ayama” means a lengthening or restraining and “yama” means
to restrain or hold back. Putting the words together gives us
“pranayama” meaning to “restrain or master the life force”. We
