PRANAYAMA YOGA
Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation that promotes physical and mental wellness. In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy and “yama” means control. Pranayama is the ancient practice of controlling our breath. By controlling the timing, duration, and frequency of each breath, we connect our bodies with our minds.
Breath is essential to life. From the first breath at birth to the last breath upon passing, we take about half a billion breaths, usually without thinking about it. What we may not realize is that the mind, body, and breath are intimately connected and can influence each other. Our breathing is influenced by our thoughts, and our thoughts and physiology can be influenced by our breath. Through OB+M’s Pranayama method, one will learn to breathe consciously with awareness, a valuable technique in helping to restore balance in the mind and body.
A regular daily practice of deep breathing is one of the best tools methods for improving our health and wellbeing regardless of our level of expertise, the work we do, our lifestyle or athleticism. Pranayama Yoga reduces stress, improves concentration, lowers blood pressure, enhances the immune system improves lung health, and improves the quality + duration of sleep.
