Breathwork’s Transformative Timeline: Ancient to Contemporary
Yogic Pranayama: Harnessing the Life Force
Breathwork has ancient origins, with yogic pranayama in India serving as a foundational practice. Pranayama involves the conscious regulation of breath to control the life force, or "prana," enhancing physical vitality and mental clarity. This practice has been integral to spiritual disciplines, promoting balance and harmony within the body and mind. Learn more.
