• Pranayama has lots of benefits to increase lung
  capacity, breathe better, learn relaxation
  techniques, etc. For this reason, for millennia,
  it has been practiced as a fundamental part of
  Yoga.
• What is Pranayama?
• The Pranayama is the set of breathing
  techniques in the practice of Yoga, which aims to
  control what the tradition of Yoga
  called prank in Sanskrit, and referring to cosmic
  energy.

  will later develop, and they are abdominal,
  thoracic and clavicular breathing. When they all
  meet effectively we talk about complete
  breathing. Pranayama techniques are the ways in
  which breathing is trained, and are divided into
  major and minor Pranayama techniques. We will
  also develop them.

Pranayama meaning

• There is some confusion when speaking about the
  meaning of Pranayama, because some people only
  take into account the etymological meaning and
  forget the meaning that has always been given to
  pranayama, which would be the concept.
• That is, the etymological meaning of Pranayama is
  "breath control. However, these are only the
  words from which a new one was created, whose
  concept or real meaning is wider control of
  breathing, to which the Yoga tradition attributes
  an important function, which is to obtain energy
  of the universe.
•  The human being has always known, however
  primitive they were, that breathing is one of the
  necessary functions to live, so it is normal to
  consider breathing as a way for the Universe to
  transmit its energy.
