Ayurvedic Breath.
Ayurvedic breathwork, also known as Pranayama, is a traditional practice rooted in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. Pranayama involves a series of controlled breathing techniques designed to balance the body, mind, and spirit. The term "Pranayama" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "prana," meaning life force or vital energy, and "ayama," meaning control or extension.
Marma Points
Marma points are vital energy points in the body used in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. These points are similar to acupressure or acupuncture points in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but with their unique Ayurvedic significance. Marma points are considered to be intersections of the body's physical, mental, and energetic dimensions, where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints meet.
Doshas
In Vedic and Ayurvedic traditions, doshas refer to the three fundamental energies or principles that govern the physiological and psychological processes in the human body. These doshas are central to understanding an individual's constitution, health, and well-being. The three doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and each one is associated with specific elements and qualities.
