PRANAYAM-To keep you Healthy & Fit

Benefits of Pranayam:

In pranayam breathing, the brain becomes quiet and this allows the nervous system to function more effectively. Benefits of pranayam is that mind gets steady & sharp. Concentration power increases. Mind can be focused on any micro thing. By practicing Pranayam, we learn to move energy vertically, horizontally and cyclically to the frontiers of the body. Another benefit is that out of triguna- Satvaguna increases and Rajoguna (Wayward), Tamoguna (lazy) decreases. Increase in satvaguna (seven healthy characteristics) is very necessary for human's spiritual development.
