“Pranayama is what heart is to the human body."
Pranayama is derived from 2 Sanskrit words - Prana (life

force) and Ayama (control). Therefore, in its broadest description, Prananyama would mean the control of the flow of life force.

The goal of Pranayama is to increase the quantum of this life force (Prana) so that it can reach out to 'hidden' recesses of the brain. This helps in expanding the human faculties and retarding degeneration.

Pranayam brings about tremendous benefits along the way such as increased energy, increased perception and develpment of various brain facilities.
