Pranayama is a compound word meaning Prana Vital Energy and Ayama Control and Regulation . But it is not basically breath-control or breath-regulation. Pranayama needs a lot of study of breath usages, applications and Addressals by—on breath. This book provides a classical and traditional approach towards life by breath control with different type of asnas.

This differentiates between physiology of respiration that comes in body-science and physiology of breathing that occurs in the science of yoga.
