What is Pranayama?
To understand what is Pranayama, we need to understand the word Pranayama. Pranayama- is a combination of two Sanskrit words and is the fourth limb of Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga. The word ‘Prana’ means bio-energy or life force, and ‘Ayama’ means regulation of this life force.
Importance of Pranayama
The importance of pranayama lies in learning rhythmic, uniform, slow, and harmonious breathing techniques. By controlling the breath, one can control bodily functions, develop a connection between body, mind, and soul, and improve physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Pranayama is more than just a set of breathing exercises; it affects the nervous system and overall health.
Physical Benefits of Pranayama
1. Increases Lung Capacity
Practicing pranayama removes stale air from the lungs, increases chest wall expansion, strengthens respiratory muscles, and promotes deep breathing. Fast-breathing pranayamas like Kapalbhati and Bhastrika enhance lung function.
2. Improves Immune System
Diaphragmatic breathing in pranayama engages the digestive system, which contains 80% of immune tissue, strengthening the body’s immune response. Increased oxygen supply during pranayama stimulates the parasympathetic system and increases white blood cell count, shielding the body from infections.
3. Reduces Weight
Conscious, deep breathing increases oxygen supply to body cells, boosting metabolism and reducing BMI. Pranayama exercises like Kapalbhati and Bhastrika expel CO2 and draw in oxygen, aiding in weight reduction.
