What is Pranayama
Prana means breath and Yama means control. By controlling the breath, we can control the mind that is mental activity.
Prana is the bridge between body mind and consciousness
The physical manifestation of Prana is breath. Breathing and mind are closely connected. As per Ayurveda, breathing is the physical part of thinking and thinking is the psychological part of breathing. Every though changes the rhythm of breath and every breath changes the rhythm or pattern of thinking. When one is disturbed (fear, anxiety, anger), breathing is irregular, when one is happy, breathing is rhythmic.
Left part of the brain represents the male energy and right part of the brain represents the female energy. When we regularly do pranayama through left and right nostrils, our male and female energies are balanced, neutral energy is awakened and one experiences pure awareness. It enables multiple dimensional changes at subtle level leading to inner spiritual growth.
Benefits of Pranayama are many – increases the vital capacity of lungs, relieves allergies and asthma, improves the functioning of our nervous system, relaxes the intercostal muscles, improves the functioning of thyroid, thymus and parathyroid glands.
What is Vinayasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga where poses/ asanas are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence. Moving from one posture to another seamless using breath. The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa yoga, so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the format.
The Sanskrit word Vinyasa comes from a prefix vi, which means variation, and a suffix, nyasa, which means ‘within prescribed parameters.’” Srivatsa Ramaswami, student of Krishnamacharya for more than thirty years.
Vinyasa ends where it begins. We start in a posture, travel through a myriad of options and come back to the asana. If we listen, though, and pay close attention, the experience changes us. Also called as, “Effortless effort” and “moving meditation”
