PrÄṇÄyÄma is a Sanskrit word meaning “extension of the prÄṇa or breath†or “extension of the life forceâ€. The word is composed from two Sanskrit words: prana meaning life force (noted particularly as the breath), and ayÄma, to extend or draw out. It is a yogic discipline with origins in ancient. Studio Pranayama since 2010 is dedicated exactly to this; extending your life force. Our philosophy is to exercise and heal both the body and the spirit. Our entire program has been formed with an aim to combine our modern lifestyle with ancient principles promoting well being, remove daily stress and strains and stretch your body and mind.
