Pranayama is breath control, and is ideally practiced with a qualified teacher for the first time. When we sit in padmasana (lotus posture) with palms up, or in vajrasana (diamond posture) with palms down (both times with index finger touching the thumb lightly), it helps to keep our torso upright, so that fresh air is channeled directly into various parts of the body. Only then may we begin a focused breathing practice.
