Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can I ask you for 30 minutes out of each day? Maybe, you are thinking that that 30 minutes could be better spent somewhere else, but here's where I say, "No, this 30 minutes is worth more than just 30 minutes." There is no doubt that we exist in a culture that disregards the growing trend of increased stress & anxiety, poor lifestyle choices, and sedentariness. We learn to look at ourselves and ask, "How much can you do for me?" rather than, "How can I help you work your best?" In this day and age, we live for our bodies, but not for our minds. People remind us to step back and take a breath, but why not go further than this empty adage by trying Pranayama, the yoga of breath? With just 30 minutes of each day, this wealth of benefits will come to be: * Increased concentration and awareness * Increased sense of stability between body and mind * Alleviation of the symptoms of stress, diabetes, hypertension, insomnia * Increased respiratory system functionality * Ability to stimulate and prevent overstimulation of emotions * And more! This book will talk about the components and benefits of Pranayama yoga in detail. Not only that, but it will also outline 5 different types of Pranayama Yoga that you can take advantage of, depending on what benefits you hope to obtain. I did neglect to tell you the biggest plus to practicing Pranayama Yoga - it is that it can be done anywhere and at any time... even now!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the basics and benefits of breath control—pranayama—and how to incorporate it into your yoga practice For several thousand years, yogis have drawn on the powerful practice of pranayama, a technique of controlling the breath to maximize prana or life energy. Pranayama has been practiced to rejuvenate the body and as a means of self-study and self-transformation. While most yoga practitioners today focus on asanas, or body postures, a growing number of people are learning the complementary practice of pranayama to deepen and enrich their practice. The Yoga of Breath is a guide to learning the fundamentals of pranayama and incorporating them into an existing yoga practice. Rosen's approach is easy to follow with step-by-step descriptions of breath and body awareness exercises accompanied by clear illustrations. The book also covers the history and philosophy of pranayama, offers useful practice tips, and teaches readers how to use props to enhance the exercises.

The goal is to manifest this Divinity within, by controlling Nature – external and internal. Do it either by work or worship, psychic control or philosophy; by one or more, or all of these and be free.' The systematic methodology of unfoldment of this inner potential Divinity, by moving towards Self-perfection is referred to as Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. Yoga is thus a process by which the Animal-man ascends through the stages Man-man, Super-man and the Divine-man.
