What is Pranayama? How it works, benefits and types of pranayama. I have got this understanding after attending several courses, retreats, knowledge sessions, experience, experimentation and observation. I would like to express my gratitude to all the organizations that have helped me to gain this understanding. Below are the names of few of them: 1. Patanjali Yogpeeth 2. Art of living 3. Isha 4. Gaia.com 5. Iyengar Yog Hope this helps you in getting better understanding of Pranayama.
