What Is Pranayama?
Pranayama is the science of breath control — a practice that teaches you how to regulate the breath to influence the flow of prana (life force) throughout the body. Slow, rhythmic breathing techniques activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and grounding the mind.
At Ukroots, we combine traditional techniques with modern therapeutic understanding to create a balanced, healing breathwork experience.
