پرانیہما (Breath) is a practice in yoga that focuses on controlling and regulating the breath. It is derived from the Sanskrit words "प्राण" (prāṇa), meaning life force or vital energy, and "आयाम" (āyāma), meaning extension or control. This technique is believed to enhance physical and mental well-being by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and improving concentration. Incorporating پرانیہما into a yoga routine can help practitioners connect more deeply with their bodies and minds. It is often used alongside آسانا (āsana) or postures, creating a holistic approach to health. Regular practice can lead to increased lung capacity and better oxygenation of the body.
