Pranayama - A Quick Breather

Close your eyes. And take five…very...slow...breaths. Do you feel like you just gave yourself a breather? Have you ever thought about how we say that? I just need a quick breather. The 4th limb of yoga is all about breath: Pranayama. It translates literally to “life force.” Your breath is your life force. Pranayama is about noticing this very fact. There is a deep connection between your breath and the way you feel. Your emotions and your health are affected by your breathing.
