Practice book Pranayama

All exercises of Pranayama serve not only to breathe consciously and correctly, but also to control the breath and to use it consciously over time so that physical and mental processes in the body can be controlled. The exercises can also be used to improve and facilitate certain life situations. For example, an increased oxygen supply vitalizes the body and supports the healing of diseases and injuries. The mind relaxed by the exercises is more resistant to stress or depression. Pranayama can generally contribute to more well-being and a happy life. During pregnancy, some specific exercises ensure the well-being of mother and child and can facilitate childbirth. Apneic divers, in turn, are able to improve their performance and safety through pranayama.
