200 hour pranayama teacher training in India is meant for those who wish to focus more on the spiritual aspect of yoga and deep breathing. Yoga is one of the oldest forms of exercise that is known to have several health benefits. According to ancient scriptures, yoga is not just a form of exercise but a complete union between mind and body. There are several benefits that can be obtained from practicing yoga such as emotional, physical and mental stability. These are mainly obtained from the breathing exercises that form part of the yoga routine.

Pranayama is basically a form of meditation and control practiced in order to achieve spiritual well being. When we do pranayama practice we concentrate our effort on breathing deep and slow, while simultaneously holding the body in the balanced pose. The main goal of this form of yoga is to create inner balance by maintaining all aspects of the physical, mental and spiritual being. The basic exercises of this form of yoga are done by inhaling the air while the exhalation is done by pushing the abdomen out of the pelvic bone and contracting the ribcage and muscles of the spine. Once the inhalation and exhalation are complete one must breathe smoothly and slowly through the nose without swallowing or coughing. It is said that a person who is able to do this can feel the aura around his or her body and can sense the flow of energy inside the body.
