The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root word yug, which means to join, to yoke, or to bring together, the union. It combines or permeates individual human spirit (jivatama) into universal spirit. It indicates a union of two different polarities within. 3

PRANAYAMA Pranayama aims at bringing the involuntary functions of the respiratory mechanism within human control. The term pranayama has been constituted by two words: Prana + Ayama. Prana is the vital force which pervades the whole cosmos. Prana is more subtle than air and can be defined as the energy essence that is within everything in the universe. Prana is the principle of development both of the nervous and cellular tissues of the body and the mind. 24
Slide 25-

PRANAYAMA Ayama means to control or to give a rhythm or a definite flow. In this sense Pranayama may be defined as a process and technique through which vital energy can be stimulated and increased and this brings about perfect control over the flow of Prana within the body. 25
