Pranayama is possibly the most forgotten aspect of Hatha Yoga. Each training course for teachers of Yoga includes a significant segment of Pranayama. Although

BKS Iyengar wrote detailed works on the subject, some teachers of Hatha Yoga barely scratched the surface on the subject of the cultivation of vital energy through breathing. Why is this happening in the yoga classes?

Adequate breathing is more likely that the most important physical aspect of Hatha Yoga training. Yes, good breathing is more important than fantasy Asanas. If this lack of attention to the importance of Pranayama, in the Yoga class, be corrected by the groups that certify yoga teachers? Why are some educated and competent teachers of Yoga “jump” for a Pranayama Yoga class?

When an inmate is through his yoga teacher training, teacher trainer covers many pranayama techniques. For many yoga teacher interns, this is a test. Each intern who becomes a teacher of yoga, known in detail the value of proper breathing, but when a Yoga teacher is a graduate in the world, he or she considers that the public wants students to learn “tricks of fantasy. “This performance

tricks of the imagination has taken a new identity and has become” Advanced Yoga “in the minds of those who forget that yoga is the union of mind, body and spirit. At no point is the ego part of any union.

The ego does not want to share anything. Want all the ego, especially for the beauty of credit, material rewards, and feats of strength or flexibility. This is why some students are beginners “bored” by Pranayama.

However, without Pranayama, not practicing Hatha Yoga. Therefore, students at all levels must learn all aspects of Hatha Yoga. The reason is simple: Hatha Yoga is not a gymnastics event.

Gymnastics is a wonderful sport, but if that is what a yoga student wants, he or she must follow that path. The fact is - Yoga is not a sport. Although Hatha Yoga is physical, has many components, all of which must be submitted with the same enthusiasm as impressive physical feats.

Hatha Yoga teachers should take the time to explain the laws of Prana to new students. Prana is more than air, breathing, but is the best method for growing it. If a new student is struggling to understand the theory or philosophy of Prana, Pranayama, and, unless he or she will learn how to absorb extra oxygen and oxygenate the blood more efficiently.

For all of us, the air is the most important resource to absorb. Water and food are also important, but none of us will last long without air.
