Pranayama is an important, yet little known part of Yoga. Its techniques have been practiced for centuries by ardent students of Yoga in remote ashrams, and have been preserved for us through many generations both in practice and in handwritten books.

First it is Pranayama and it is conscious prolongation of inhalation, retention, and exhalation of the breath.
It is a breathing exercise originally expounded by Patanjali, an ancient Hindu philosopher and yogi, in his Yoga Sutras, a text on various yogic techniques.
