Yoga Breathing and Its Benefits - Yoga Breathing, Pranayama calms and steadies the mind, bringing focus and concentration. Breath is life. It is the string that connects us to our souls. It is the wind and the energy in the air. It is force and life energy. Pranayama practice detoxifies the lungs, warding off diseases. Its practice calms the central nervous system and helps with focus. Regular practice keeps the body and mind in vibrant health. Most people have forgotten how to breath and incorporate only a shallow part of their lung capacity. The practice of Pranayama lets the practitioner breath deeply through the nose, using the entire lung capacity. In this way, the body is detoxified. The practice of pranayama also prepares one for meditation. Here thoughts are harnessed to allow for focus and intention.
