Asanas teach pranayama fundamentals—breath uses, applications, processes.
Asana & Pranayama
Pranayama — Vehicle of Prana Shakti
When body, mind, & breath benefit, we benefit from pranayama.
Karma & Karmaphala
Karma doesn’t end with fruition: reactions form new samskaras (imprints) & vasanas (tendencies)
Pranamaya Kosha—Five Pranas
Prana is one, like the ocean, but named according to function and location.
Pranayama Manages the Chakras
Pranayama burns defects, modifies chakra tendencies. Respiratory benefits are secondary.
