Pranayama

The Prana Vashya System believes in the conscious regulation and control of the breath.
The journey of a practitioner has Yoga Asana at its core. This is based on the belief that dedication and regular practice enhance physical capabilities such as awareness, flexibility, and control. However, this alone does not encompass the true essence of Yoga. While the development of the physical body is a well-known benefit of Yoga Asana, a true practitioner goes beyond physical awareness and explores the vastness of the mind. When practitioners seek to experience their existence beyond physical limitations, the practice of Pranayama guides them along the sacred path of Yoga. Regular practice of Pranayama helps develop control over myriad thoughts and behavioural patterns by cultivating mastery over both the mind and the body.
It has been proven that the practice of Pranayama techniques helps maintain desired energy levels in practitioners of all levels. It is also beneficial for individuals who engage in intense physical activities daily or routinely perform strenuous physical work.
Authentic Pranayama is taught at Prana Vashya Yoga Shala under the guidance of Vinayji. These teachings are accompanied by Dharma talks on various subjects, encouraging practitioners to delve deeper into Pranayama and providing valuable insights into their path of progress.
