Pranayama:The Essential Practice with Lisa Bertke

Yoga is much more than yoga postures; it is the cultivation and management of prana, the vital life force that enables the body to move and the mind to think. It’s the intelligence that coordinates our senses and awakens our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana through pranayama techniques--we can invigorate the body and mind, and develop an expanded inner awareness. Pranayama is considered the gateway to personal healing, building creative power and speeding up the process of transformation
