Efficient Blood-Oxygen Exchange

There should be a balance in the amount of blood ready to absorb oxygen and the amount of oxygen supplied by breathing.

This can be achieved through healthy breathing while altering the body's position in relation to the ground.

Energy Release

To sustain life, the body must produce sufficient energy. The amount of energy produced depends on the quality and amount of fuel (food) and the supply of oxygen.

The science of yogic breathing (pranayama) teaches us how to manage our energy.

Brain Function

The brain requires a lot of energy to function properly. Working on breathing your breathing capacity ensures proper brain oxygenation.

This will help you maintain your mental sharpness, ability to make sound decisions, and strong memory.

Organ Function/Stress Management

Every time you inhale, you stimulate your "flight or fight" part of your nervous system slightly. Every time you exhale, you stimulate your "rest and digest" part of your nervous system.

Specific yogic practices help these two parts of your system work in harmony to regulate individual organ function and overall good health.

Restful Sleep

Brief interruptions in breathing during sleep, can lead to poor sleep quality, insomnia, and sleep disorders. Simple lifestyle changes and specific yogic practices can help you sleep better by calming the nervous system, cooling the body, and strengthening your breathing muscles.
