Prana Vayu Pranayama Prana Vayu, centered in the chest, governs the energy of intake and vitality. It translates to "the forward-moving air," and its flow moves from the outer world to the inner world, governing respiration, heart function, and sensory perception. This vital energy supports the upper body's functions, especially the lungs and heart, ensuring life force is properly distributed. Practicing Prana Vayu Pranayama helps to recognize, nourish, and activate this essential energy, promoting flow of Prana, energy coming in (filling our 'bank' of energy) and uplifting our heart/mind. Engage in this breathwork to invigorate your life force and enhance your well-being.
