Did you ever wonder why the lifespan of animals differ so widely? Just think about a dog. A dog lives about 10-20 years and takes about 20-30 breaths per minutes. A tortoise on the other hand lives about 150 years and only inhales and exhales about 4 times per minute.
In the yogic philosophy lifespan is not defined by the number of days we live, but depends on the number of breaths we take. The slower we breathe, the longer we live.
Pranayama is the fourth limb in Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga and can be defined as the extension of breath. It combines inhalation and exhalation with breath retention – called kumbhaka. It functions on the pranic body and with different techniques the life-force – prana – is extended in our physical and astral body – our aura. The practice of pranayama directly affects the mind and reduces fluctuations, making us calm and relaxed. It helps us to become more resilient and to handle stressful situations with more ease. Finally the art of pranayama can increase our life-span by slowing down our breath, our heart rate and stress response.

There is nothing more important to our health than breathing. Unfortunately, many of us have lost the ability to breath correctly, leading to pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, sleeping disorders and anxiety. Let’s discover the ancient yogic breathing techniques together and explore how slight adjustments to the way we breath can make a big difference for our wellbeing.
