Pranayama is a yogic exercise focussed on breath: the literal meaning being extending (ayama) the prana (life). The ancient practice of pranayama, integral to the Yoga sutras of Patanjali, has been taught for thousands of years. Yogic breathing not only soothes the nervous system but also serves as a pathway to profound meditation experiences. It aids in dissolution of the mind field and thus helps one to reach a meditative state. Patanjali advises to practice self-discipline and maintain good conduct in life before even starting the other practices like asana (body posture training) and Pranayama (breath works).
Some of the basic types of pranayama exercises are as follows:
Breathing techniques, such as taking a deep breath, have long been recognised for their calming effects, a wisdom passed down through generations. Pranayama practices help to stay away from ailments, reduce stress and anxiety, increase focus in life, strengthen the immune system, enhance lung capacity, helps in detoxification, improve digestion and enhance the endocrine system functioning.

The Yogant Foundation is a special place established in 1960 by a Self-realized Yogi. The retreat is wonderful balance of Nature and human existence. It is a place for spiritual growth and purification. This is my Guruji's Ashram and I have been his disciple for 15 years. All my love to this gorgeous place where sadhana automatically arises.
Premvarni is one of the last true Himalayan Yogis still alive. His wisdom comes from the old school of ancient yogic teachings. A contemporary of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Prem Varni Bal Yogis Ashram is very near to the famous Beatles Ashram. This Ashram is not a tourist attraction but is available for true seekers of spiritual Truth.

I spent one month in Swamiji’s Ashram, respected and protected by his presence and wisdom. I recieved lot of love and deep teachings. This Ashram offers any comfort, very nice rooms, hot water and sattvic food. Divya grew up with Swamiji, recieving his teachings and now she transmits them to guests in a excellent way. I practiced with her daily yoga, meditation and other techniques.
