Pranayama is a word most familiar in the yoga world. In Sanskrit, the word combines *prana* (life force or breath) and *ayama* (extension, expansion or control). Then, putting the two concepts together creates an idea about influencing the flow of life force energy within the body. Pranayama techniques are also beneficial for self-regulation and can be applied in very practical ways.
