Know About Yogic Breathing and Its Benefits

Doing physical exercises is quite common and a regular practice for most of us. It needs immense physical strain and less effort through mind. Even though these exercises gives a good relief even for the brain they are not enough to cope with the present day stress and strain. Hence one of the best ways to face any mental and emotional imbalances is to do mind yoga with powerful breathing exercises.

Yoga follows simple logic - we may survive without food and water but not without air. And it strongly believes that air around us contains a life force. When the air is inhaled, it is mixed with blood and sent to various parts of the body and hence pumps life through out the body. Even though we do regular breathing we use only upper part of our respiratory tract for breathing. And moreover, instead of taking large quantities of air we tend to take small quantities and that too in a faulty way.

Yoga follows an excellent technique called pranayama with which the human body gains control over the entire inhaling life force. Following are the benefits associated with the yogic breathing and the technique of pranayama.
