The science of Pranayama was developed by Yogis through an intuitive and experimental understanding of Prana and its influence on the human mechanism at various levels. The Sanskrit word Prana is combination of two syllables pra meaning ‘forth’ & an meaning ‘movement or to breathe’, thereby referring to the idea that life force energy is always dynamic.
