Yoga and Pranayama Weekend Retreat in California at the Sivananda Yoga Farm
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- "Prana is the universal principal of energy. It is vital force. It is prana that shines in your eyes. It is through the power of prana the senses, the brain and the intellect do their functions. Prana is magnetism, charisma, success. Prana is supplied by food, water, air, solar energy and is absorbed by breathing.
Pranayama is the breathing excercises to control the subtle prana, thus controlling the thought waves. Pranayama removes all sorts of diseases, improves health, energizes digestion, innvigorates the nerves, removes restlessness, improves appetite, creates courage, enthusiasm, vigour, strength and good concentration of mind."
- Swami Sivananda
