Pranayama

is one of the core practices of yoga that involves the control and regulation of the breath. The word “prana” means life force (vital energy), and “yama” means control or restraint. Through various breathing techniques—such as deep inhalation, slow exhalation, or breath retention—Pranayama calms the mind, balances the body’s energy, and enhances focus. This simple yet powerful practice can help reduce stress, improve lung function, and increase

self-awareness.
