Description

Yoga is a traditional practice from the ancient Indian culture and is considered to be the science of holistic living. Breathing practices are one of the key elements within the practice of Yoga. Human respiration is the only physiological system that is under both autonomic and voluntary nervous control and thus it is also given special emphasis in yogic texts. It is proven that yogic breathing techniques are found to have profound effects on autonomic functions.
