Breath is an intangible yet quantifiable element that moves throughout the body, animating it in the process. Yoga teaches that breath carries prana, often understood as life force potential. Prana exists in a latent, unactivated state throughout all matter. Which means that prana can be found in your body, breath and food. With the control and regulation of your breath, yoga teaches how we control and regulate our minds. Yoga goes as far as to say that our minds, are the retained aspect of the breath that we breathe. Another way of understanding this is that our minds are made up of an accumulation of prana that determines the way the body feels.

Learning to control and regulate your breath means that you are in charge of the intake of prana in your body through your breath. Learning to control and regulate your will power, vitality and general energy levels is the grand prize that yogis and meditators alike are hoping to gain through practice.
