Pranayama Yoga Prana breath, in Sanskrit the word means life-force. Pranayama (the act of taking in Prana) teaches that during the retention portion of the breath cycle, one should consciously retain the Prana, then release the carbon dioxide (and other gases) from the lungs during exhalation, storing the prana in the Manipura, or 3rd Chakra. At the studio we explore many breathing techniques to help improve lung capacity and reach a state of calming the mind.

This method of Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures – a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscle and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
