Pranayama

by Nubia Teixeria with Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach

May our breath be our prayers to guide each of us to the unknown. . .

Breathe in and feel the healing properties that take hold of our bodies. With each inhalation, a restored sense of energy is released into your soul. The air that we breathe is filled with vital energy known as “prana.” Prana is the life force that calms our minds and helps control our emotions.

It is essential that each of us learn how to get the maximum benefits that prana has to offer. Through Nubia Teixeria's Pranayama , the essence of life can be felt through the use of these two audio CD's. The two an half hours in which this audio is dedicated to showing the true meaning of Pranayama is truly a magical experience.

Each track contained on these two audios explores three types of prana: soothing, balancing, and energizing. A gentle and reassuring voice guides the listener into each position needed, while calming background music sets the tone for the perfect relaxing experience. In addition, be sure to read the guide that accompanies this CD. It provides a picture guide of the correct way for each pose it mentions. Also, there is a nine-day practice that will give you a pathway to discover all the beauty pranayama holds.

Having practiced yoga for the past couple of years, I feel I received the ultimate form of Shavasana when I listened to Pranayama . For those who are not familiar with yoga, Shavasana is the last phase of a yoga routine where your body is rewarded for all the hard work it has endured. For approximately 5-10 minutes, the body lies quietly as the healing energy makes its way over the body, releasing all the peace and tranquility that comes with total relaxation. Very highly recommended.
