Pran means pranvaayu or in more daily language the air that we breathe which makes our human existence possible and ayam means expansion. Pranayama means expansion of the breath in the rhythmic and controlled manner. This controlling of breath has three stages:

1. Inhalation
2. Exhalation
3. Retention of the breath-The retention of the breath is between inhalation and exhalation and can be performed only under an experienced yoga teacher and hence this is a science as well as an art.

Basics of  pranayama :

• It has to be done only after yoga asana have been mastered to an extent.
• It helps in controlling the breathing and hence the student of yoga also learns to control his mind. A controlled mind is always constructive .And perfection in yoga asana is possible only when the mind is constructive.
