In the Ashtanga Yoga(рдЕрд╖реНрдЯрдЯрд╛рдВрдЧ рдпреЛрдЧ) the fourth limb is "Pranayam"
"Pranayam" is a Sanskrit word.The word is composed of two words "Prana" meaning - life forces or vital energy and "Ayama" to extend/draw out/restrain or control.
So "Pranayam" is the control of breath"Prana" by way of inhalation, retention and exhalation.
The regular practice of "Pranayam" increases and enhances the quantity and quality of "Prana",clears blocked nadis and chakras.
"Pranayama" process involves 3major functions-
1) Inhalation and Exhalation of Air(рд╢реНрд╡рд╛рд╕ рдкреНрд░рд╢реНрд╡рд╛рд╕)
2) Retenion of Air (рдЦреБрднрдХ)
3) Energy Block(рдЦреБрднреНрдХ)
These have long lasting effects on the body, nervous system and other internal organs.The energy block - рдЦреВрднрдХ increases the CO2 percentage in the blood which stresses the nervous system and continuous practice results in the nervous system becoming more tolerant.
There are many types of "Prayanam" but out of which Alternate Nostril Breathing or рдЕрдиреБрд▓реЛрдо рд╡рд┐рд▓реЛрдо рдкреНрд░рд╛рдгрд╛рдпрд╛рдо is the most important during current time.
Alternate Nostril Breathing or рдЕрдиреБрд▓реЛрдо рд╡рд┐рд▓реЛрдо рдкреНрд░рд╛рдгрд╛рдпрд╛рдо:тАУ
Balancing the "Ida" and "Pingla" is one of the main objective of this Prayanam apart from strenthing lungs and providing more oxygen to the organs.If both nadis are balanced then they can awaken sushumna nadi.
In this "Prayanam" breathing is done by the alternate Nostril and then рдЦреБрднрдХ with рдмрдВрдз рдЗрд╕ applied and released from the other nostril.
