Breathing Meditation


Hatha Yoga uses breathing exercises, pranayama, to awaken prana the vital, life-sustaining force. By practicing pranayama, you can tap the vast power within the breath and use it for self-healing and to heal others.

You can collect & store pranic energy in your solar Plexus (the pranic storage battery) by practicing pranayama.
