Pranayama (prana=life-force; yama = restraint or ayama = expansion) is literally translated “breath control” covering a wide range of yogic breathing techniques to open blockages in the nadis (the body’s energy channels), calm the mind and invigorate the body. Pranayama provides a method to go beyond one’s normal boundaries to attain a higher state of vibratory energy.         Private Yoga Class   The word yoga (from the Sanskrit word yuj means to yoke or bind) refers to union between body and mind or body, mind and spirit and within the traditional acceptance as union between one's individual consciousness and the Universal Consciousness.
