Description

It is common knowledge that pranayama is about breathing exercises. Right? Wrong! Radhika shah grouven divulges some of the secret practices of the mysterious oral tradition to challenge this popular belief. Breathing exercises are not pranayama; they prepare you for pranayama. Prana is the life force and pranayama is done with the mind. Pranayama begins where the breath ends. With pranayama you can harness the unlimited potentials of the mind and become a balanced and creative individual.
