Prana is the vital life force and Pranayama is the process by which this life force is balanced and increased. Prana and mind are intricately linked — when the prana is balanced, the mind is balanced as well. Pranayama balances both sides of the brain and balances emotional responses. It calms the mind and removes tension and anxiety. Pranayama creates vitality and enhanced energy. The enhanced vital force that results from Pranayama is beneficial for health and all aspects of life.
