Pranayama

Namaste to all,

Welcome to Aum Yoga Vedanta Center, where we offer a range of yoga classes to help you achieve optimal physical, mental, and spiritual health. One of the key practices we focus on is Pranayama.

Pranayama is the practice of controlling your breath to improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is one of the eight limbs of yoga, as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The word pranayama comes from two Sanskrit words: prana, which means life force or vital energy, and ayama, which means extension or expansion.

At Aum Yoga Vedanta Center, we offer a variety of pranayama practices to help you cultivate awareness of your breath and improve your overall health. Some of the pranayama techniques we teach include:

There are several types of pranayama, each with its own unique benefits. Here are some of the most practiced pranayama techniques:

  1. Nadi Shodhana: Also known as alternate nostril breathing, this practice involves inhaling through one nostril while closing the other, and then exhaling through the other nostril while closing the first. It is a calming and balancing practice that helps to regulate the flow of prana, or life force energy, in the body.
  2. Kapalabhati: This is a powerful breathing technique that involves short, forceful exhalations and passive inhalations. It helps to clear the respiratory system, stimulate digestion, and energize the body.
  3. Bhramari: Also known as humming bee breath, this practice involves inhaling deeply and then making a humming sound on the exhale. It is a soothing practice that can help to calm the mind, reduce stress, and alleviate anxiety.
  4. Ujjayi: This practice involves breathing in and out through the nose while slightly constricting the back of the throat. It creates a soft, ocean-like sound and helps to regulate the breath, calm the mind, and balance the body.
  5. Sheetali: This practice involves rolling the tongue into a tube shape and inhaling through it, then exhaling through the nose. It is a cooling practice that helps to reduce body heat and calm the nervous system.
  6. Shitkari: This practice is similar to Sheetali, but instead of rolling the tongue, you make a hissing sound with your teeth slightly parted. It has a similar cooling effect on the body and mind.

These are just a few of the many pranayama practices that are available. At Aum Yoga Vedanta Center, we offer a variety of pranayama classes to help you find the practice that works best for you and your unique needs.
