Introduction
Breathing is the foundation of yoga, yet it’s something many people overlook. Pranayama, or yogic breathwork, helps control life energy (prana) within the body.

Benefits of Conscious Breathing
Proper breathing improves lung capacity, oxygenates the blood, and calms the nervous system.

Types of Breathwork

  • Ujjayi Breath: Builds heat and focus.
  • Nadi Shodhana: Balances energy channels.
  • Kapalabhati: Energizes and cleanses the body.

Conclusion
Breath is life, and mastering it deepens both your yoga practice and your connection to self.
