Pranayama (Rhythmic control of breath) is the biggest medicine of this world
Patanjali in his text of Yoga Sutras mentioned pranayama as means of attaining higher states of awareness, he mentions the holding of breath as important practice of reaching Samadhi.
Pranayama is control of Breath". "Prana" is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and "ayama" means control. So Pranayama is "Control of Breath". One can control the rhythms of pranic energy with pranayama and achieve healthy body and mind.
Breathing is life. It is one of our most vital functions. One of the Five Principles of Yoga is Pranayama or Breathing Exercise which promotes proper breathing. In a Yogic point of view, proper breathing is to bring more oxygen to the blood and to the brain, and to control Prana or the vital life energy. Pranayama Yoga also goes hand in hand with the Asanas. The union of these two Yogic Principles is considered as the highest form of purification and self-discipline, covering both mind and body.
After extensive research of the beneficial effects of Pranayama Yoga during last more than ten years, on millions of people in India, Swami Ramdevji has declared on Indian & International TV channels that it has been proved now that Yoga Pranayama (Breathing Technique Yoga) cures most of the diseases without Allopathic medicines or surgery.
Guru Ramdev Baba says that Pranayama Yoga is the complete Ancient Indian Therapy & Life Science, which is the Medical Science in itself that cures almost all of the Physical or Mental medical condition, without any side effects.

Based on Patanjali Yoga sutras and extensive research on benefits of Pranayam by great sages and Gurus, we have to avail the opportunity to practice pranayama yoga to maintain healthy body and mind.
I have been practising Yoga, which includes asanas and pranayama since past 20 years. I have been running pranayama yoga sessions to individuals since past 5 years.
I had learnt yoga from expert instructors. However, I had learnt the concepts of pranayama yoga and how to fit systematically in our daily activities from Great Guru Ramdev baba.
I teach seven breathing techniques and asanas that will help grow and balance body physically and mentally.

Our Wedding dance was the highlight of the evening. Rohit made sure that we looked clean and executed the right steps and correct technique on stage. He even went to the tailors to make sure the lahanga outfit that I was wearing had the right flair at the bottom. He treated us like family and ended up being a part of our family. He is a dear friend and I can’t wait to send our daughter to his dance school. Go Satrangi ( Himani and Rahul, Upstate NY)
