The word Pranayama (breathing exercises) is made from the combination of two words:
Prana and ayama.

techniques of pranayam provide the method where by the life force can be activated and
regulated in order to go beyond ones normal boundaries or limitations and attain a higher
state of vibratory energy and awareness.

the state of being upset, fearful and angry to calm, centered and balanced state.
