- Pranayama is the king of all exercises.
- Under conditions of heightened
respiration, the heart, arteries, capillaries, veins, and lungs perform many days' labor in only a few hours.
- As blood circulation increases,
basic nutrients are distributed to all the tissues in the body.
- Waste products accumulating in the cells are eliminated into the veins.
- Indeed, one can comprehend
the significance of all forms of exercise by understanding this process alone.
- The body parts are moved merely to churn and stimulate
the respiratory process.
~ Swami Kripalu, 1913-1981, Kundalini yoga practitioner & teacher
Breathe, Relax,
Feel, Watch, Allow
