Pranayama is the yogic practice of controlled breathing, involving techniques that regulate the rhythm, depth, and duration of inhalation and exhalation. Rooted in classical yoga traditions from India, it is used to calm the nervous system, increase focus, and prepare the body and mind for meditation. Yoga practitioners and wellness instructors teach specific pranayama techniques (such as alternate nostril breathing or ujjayi breath) for stress reduction and improved lung capacity.
