So, if one day I come to you, my friends, saying that I have discovered a very ancient text, in a remote old library, and in this text there are special physical exercises created by Buddha himself to reach the Nirvana in this very life, would you believe me?

"By performing asanas regularly,” said Sarkar, “human beings can control the propensities attached to each cakra, and hence the thoughts which arise in their minds and their behaviours.”

Pranayama may seem at first to be totally involved with breathing. However, breathing is only one of the many exercises through which we get to the real pranayama, or control of the prana.
