What is Pranayama & Meditation?
Pranayama, as the very name explains is “regulation of breath”. Breathing is the vehicle absorbing “Prana” or the“vital force” that sustains the functioning of the human body.
The way in which we breathe has a direct influence on our body and mind which impacts our entire being.Lifestyle diseases such as Hypertension, Asthma and anxiety disorders can be rectified with correct breathing patterns. A stressful schedule has made many people take no notice of simple breathing, and when neglected, can have far reaching consequences.
We at Sri Krishna Wellness Yoga and Cultural Centre are committed towards imparting the right techniques of Pranayama for better health and well-being.
The practice of correct breathing improves cell regeneration and ensures sufficient supply of oxygen. Additionally, the practice of correct breathing techniques also improves the quality of our performance in day today activities.
Ancient practices such as Hatha Yoga Also emphasize the importance of breathe control. The deeper the breath, the lesser are your thoughts and more silent is your mind.
It is also said that with just 3 months of correct and regular breathing practice, all the blockages in the Nadi systems are released and you can experience the smooth flow of PranaShakthi in the Nadis.
In this age and generation of mobile phones, social media, internet and a whole lot of ‘outward’ connections, the art of internalisation and being with oneself has been forgotten and lost. We must make some “me time”, to explore our journey inwards and to knowing ourselves better through a simple tool called meditation. This brings a fresh energy, complete relaxation and inner stillness, which is sustained throughout the day!
Happiness is a short lived feeling in all human beings whereas the permanent feeling of Bliss is an inherent dormant feeling which can be achieved through meditation.
We at Sri Krishna Wellness Yoga and Cultural Centre make it our responsibility to provide you the correct method and a beautiful space for you to achieve a meditative state of mind.
