Swara yoga

Swara yoga

Swara yoga is a form of yoga which describes how the movement of prana can be controlled by manipulation of the breath. The word "swara" means "the sound of one's own breath" and "yoga" means "Union". Swara yoga teaches how the state of union can be achieved by means of one's breath. It should not be confused with pranayama, which involves a different aspect of the breath; although swara yoga includes the practice of pranayama, it is in fact a more extensive and precise form of yoga.Fact|date=August 2008

According to Swami Satyananda Saraswati,:"Swara yoga is the way to have a fuller understanding of your past, to experience the best from the present, and to know what will happen in the future by means of a thorough knowledge of the breath." [Saraswati (1983)]
