Abstract:
Background -People's lifestyles have become very mechanical in the modern day. Everyone is in a rat race to meet their goals, which causes stress. The repercussions of this stress on a person's physical and mental health are further. The healthy development of emotional attitudes and personality that coexist peacefully with the entire society or community is what is meant by mental health. Sadvrittapalan, application of Acharrasayana, Yoga, and meditation practises are crucial for mental health prevention. Yoga consists of eight steps, and to control the sense organs called Indriyas, Pranayam is crucial. Significant and simple form of Ashtakumbhaka is Bhramari Pranayam. The humming sound of Bhramari Pranayam causes vibrations in the body that directly affect the hypothalamus of the brain, relieving tension and bringing about calmness and happiness throughout the body. In order to offer a better answer, this article discusses the function of Bhramari Pranayama in the prevention and promotion of mental health. Material & Methods:-The data used in the current investigation was gathered from primary and secondary sources, namely literature reviews of major Ayurvedic Samhitas and texts and widely disseminated research publications. Conclusions:-This study demonstrates the critical impact Bhramari Pranayama plays in both the prevention of mental illness and the treatment of mental diseases like stress, anxiety, and depression. Ayurveda claims that continuous practise of Bhramari Pranayama reduces the Raja and Tamadosha and increases Satvaguna, thereby aiding in the development of mental health.

Abstract:
People's lifestyles have become highly mechanical in today's world. Everyone is in a rat race to meet their objectives, which causes stress. This stress has a negative impact on a person's physical and mental health. Mental health refers to the healthy development of emotional attitudes and personalities that coexist with the rest of society or community. Alterations in thinking, emotion, or behaviour are associated with reduced functioning in mental disorders. Healthy nutrition, daily regimen, seasonal regimen, and exercise, among other things, are important preventative measures for physical health, whereas Sadvrittapalan, application of Acharrasayana, yoga, and meditation practises are important for mental and physical health prevention. Yoga consists of eight stages, one of which, Pranayam, is crucial for achieving control over the Indriyas, or sense organs. Bhramari Pranayam is an important sort of Ashtakumbhaka that is also quite simple to do. The vibrations produced by Bhramari Pranayam's humming sound directly touch the hypothalamus of the brain, generating a resonance in the mind that reduces tension and brings tranquilly and happiness to the entire body. Yoga is both a science and a way of life that originated in India. Om is the word or emblem of God, and Pranayama is an aspect of yoga that enhances mental wellness. It is the syllable of the past, present, and future, and is made up of three letters: A, U, and M. Om is the source of all thoughts, and chanting or meditating about it will bring you into a calm state of mind.

Abstract:
<p>'Pranayama' consists of: Puraka which is entering the breath, Kumbhaka which is holding your breath, and Recaka is exhaling. But from the essence of pranayama is the ability to take and manage prana especially by using breath. In spiritual life, Pranayama's role depends on the individual. They feel that by asking for Protection, Peace and the Light of God they can change their nature and purify their lives as effectively as possible by doing Pranayama. The only breathing exercise that a spiritual candidate needs is to try to breathe pure. Control over the flow of prana in the vital body which calms the mind and limits the thought process, which is an important introduction to spiritual exercises. In the text of yoga sutra patanjalai pranayama is explained in the shadana padha sutra 49 which explains what the meaning of pranyama, sutra 50-51 describes the practice of pranayama, In Yoga Sutra, Patanjali describes pranayama as a process where they can break their subconscious breathing patterns and make long breath, subside, and smooth. The subconscious breathing pattern of some people is not easy and smooth; They tend to be tense, superficial, and erratic. Pranayama can also be practiced through java pranama, pranyama also has many techniques to practice pranyama, spiritual seekers get peace of mind. As long as some breathing techniques are slowed down and the strength of the exhaled air decreases. The well-known breathing techniques teach how to activate, stimulate energy that makes a person feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable. The purpose of pranayama is to reduce the speed of breathing / slow down breathing, Prana will be calm with a slow / slow breathing process. The mind will calm down, When breathing activity decreases, the activity of the mind will decrease, Between mind and prana are the senses.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p>

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Pranayama techniques are known to produce variable physiological effects on the body. We evaluated the effect of the two commonly practiced Pranayama techniques on cerebral hemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Fifteen healthy male volunteers, trained in Yoga and Pranayama, were included in the study. Mean age was 24 years (range 22–32 years). Study participants performed 2 Pranayamas in 2 different orders. Order 1 (n = 7) performed Bhastrika (bellows breaths) followed by Kumbhaka (breath retention) while order 2 (n = 8) performed Kumbhaka followed by Bhastrika. Both breathing techniques were performed for 1 min each. Continuous transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring was performed during the breathing techniques. TCD parameters that were recorded included peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), mean flow velocity (MFV), and pulsatility index (PI) of the right middle cerebral artery at baseline, 15, 30, 45, and 60 s. Results: Significant reductions in EDV (3.67 ± 6.48; P < 0.001) and MFV (22.00 ± 7.30; P < 0.001) with a significant increase in PI (2.43 ± 0.76; P < 0.001) were observed during Bhastrika. On the contrary, a significant increase in PSV (65.27 ± 13.75; P < 0.001), EDV (28.67 ± 12.03; P < 0.001), and MFV (43.67 ± 12.85; P < 0.001) with a significant reduction in PI (0.89 ± 0.28; P < 0.01) was observed only during Kumbhaka. Conclusion: Bhastrika and Kumbhaka practices of Pranayama produce considerable and opposing effects on cerebral hemodynamic parameters. Our findings may play a potential role in designing the Pranayama techniques according to patients' requirements.

Abstract:
Yoga postures (asana) and yoga breathing techniques (pranayama) could be an effective method of treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study investigates the importance of the style of yoga treatment (pranayama, asana, or both) and the frequency with which these interventions are conducted (two or five times per week). The participants in this study will be military personnel with diagnosed PTSD who are currently receiving CBT and pharmaceutical treatment. All participants will have their PTSD symptoms assessed before the study begins, and then once a week each of the 12 weeks of the study. Structured interviews will be administered to both participants and loved ones of participants before and after the study in order to verify construct validity. It is proposed that all groups will show improvement in all three styles (asana, pranayama, and both) over the span of 12 weeks and the groups that practice five times a week will improve more than groups that practice twice a week. Therefore, participants who practice both pranayama and asana twice a week will have the most decrease in PTSD symptoms.

Abstract:
Йога – це один з найпопулярніших видів фізичних вправ у світі, який має багату давню історію та традиції. Вона приносить міцне здоров’я, гнучкість тіла, силу м’язів та гострий розум тим, хто щоденно нею займається. Саме через те, що йога приносить значно більшу користь, ніж проста фізична практика, вона є і залишається стилем життя для мільйонів людей в всьому світу. Дихання – це головний процес організму. Воно впливає на діяльність кожної клітини організму і, що найголовніше, тісно пов’язане з працездатністю мозку. Дихання пов’язане з усіма характеристиками людського досвіду. Пранаяма демонструє регулярні схеми дихання, порушуючи негативний цикл і змушує людину почувати себе краще. Це робиться, беручи під контроль дихання і відновлюючи природні, розслаблені ритми тіла і розуму. Під час написання науково-дослідних робіт з йоги важливо окреслити, що йога – це практика, спрямована на поліпшення здоров’я та мозкової діяльності. Це також допомагає уникнути нервозності та одержати енергію, що вкрай необхідно сучасним студентам. Окрім того, йога – це дуже безпечний, простий і здоровий спосіб поліпшити своє здоров’я та самопочуття, що регулює зв’язок між трьома компонентами людського балансу, такими як тіло, розум і душа. Це допомагає підтримувати здоров’я, отримані знання та внутрішній спокій.

A sistematiza??o do yoga por Pata?jali divide o yoga em 8 conjuntos de pr?ticas, dentre elas os asanas, a medita??o e as pr?ticas respirat?rias, conhecidas como pranayama. Estudo recen-tes tem sugerido que a pr?tica de pranayama est? associada a efeitos positivos sobre quadros de estresse e ansiedade. Esta tese tem por objetivo avaliar o impacto da pr?tica do Bhastrika Pranayama sobre marcadores de ansiedade, afeto, discurso e imagem funcional por resson?n-cia magn?tica (fMRI, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) usando desenho controlado, randomizado de bra?os paralelos. Trinta adultos jovens saud?veis, e sem experi?ncia com o yoga, foram recrutados e avaliados por meio do invent?rio de ansiedade tra?o-estado (IDA-TE), da escala de afeto positivo e negativo (PANAS), da an?lise do discurso e da fMRI (tarefa de regula??o emocional, e resting state), antes e ap?s 4 semanas de pr?tica do Bhastrika Pra-nayama ou de atividades controle. Ap?s o treinamento observamos redu??o dos n?veis de an-siedade e de afeto negativo, e intera??o significativa no sinal da ?nsula anterior bilateral e c?n-gulo anterior direito. A an?lise de correla??o mostrou que ap?s a pr?tica do pranayama, os indiv?duos com maiores aumentos da atividade da am?gdala, e ?nsula bilateral foram os que menos reduziram o afeto negativo. Os dados de rs-fMRI revelaram redu??o significativa de conectividade funcional do c?rtex pr?-frontal ventrolateral (vlPFC) ? direita com c?rtex pr?-frontal dorsolateral (dlPFC) ? direita ap?s o treinamento. Correla??o entre dados de rs-fMRI e escala PANAS mostrou que entre os indiv?duos que fizeram o pranayama, os que mais reduzi-ram a conectividade entre ?nsula anterior ? direita com vlPFC bilateral foram os que mais re-duziram o afeto negativo. An?lise do discurso mostrou redu??o significativa na rela??o se-m?ntica entre os textos transcritos e a palavra ansiedade. N?o foram encontradas diferen?as nas estruturas do discurso. De forma geral, nossos resultados sugerem que a pr?tica do Bhas-trika Pranayama leva a mudan?as significativas de ansiedade e de afeto, que se mostraram acompanhadas por mudan?as na atividade e conectividade de estruturas cerebrais que partici-pam de processos de regula??o emocional.
The systematization of Yoga presented in the Yoga Sutras of Pata?jali, written around 400 CE, proposes an eight limb yoga system, also known as Ashtanga Yoga (ashta=eight, anga=limb), consisting of eight set of practices. Among them, the breathing practices, known as Pranayama, has been associated with positive effects on stress and anxiety. This thesis explores the impact of Bhastrika Pranayama training on markers of anxiety, affect, speech, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using a randomized controlled trial of two parallel arms. Thirty young healthy adults, na?ve to Yoga practices, were recruited and evalu-ated by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Speech Analysis and fMRI (emotional regulation task, and resting state-fMRI), before and after 4 weeks of training Bhastrika Pranayama or control activities. Results after bhastrika pranayama suggest reduction in both anxiety and negative affect, increased activity in bilateral anterior insula and right anterior cingulate cortex. Correlation analysis between fMRI signal during the emotional regulation protocol and PANAS scale showed that among individuals in pranayama group, individuals who most increased the activity in amygdala, right and left insula were those that less decreased negative affect. rs-fMRI results suggest decreased functional connectivity in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) with right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) after pranayama. Correlation between rs-fMRI data and PANAS scale showed that among individuals in pranayama group, those who most decreased the connectivity between right anterior insula with right and left vlPFC were the individuals that most decreased negative affect. Speech analysis showed reduction in semantic properties when the word ?anxiety? was used as seed. No significant difference was found in speech structures after pranayama. In general, our results suggest that the practice of Bhastrika Pranayama leads to changes in anxiety and affect, which was accompanied by changes in the activity and connectivity of brain structures that participate in processes of emotional regulation.

Introdução: O número de indivíduos acometidos pela hipertensão arterial é alarmante em todo o mundo, por isso, a busca por estratégias eficazes para a redução dos valores de pressão arterial e suas consequências, são objetos de inúmeros estudos. As práticas de ioga vêm sendo incentivadas por meio da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares no SUS, por se mostrar eficaz na prevenção e tratamento de diversas patologias, entre elas a hipertensão arterial, apresentando efeito hipotensor significativo. Podendo ser utilizado com todas as técnicas (princípios éticos, asanas, pranayamas, relaxamento, meditação) em conjunto em uma mesma sessão ou de forma isolada, como muitos estudos investigando apenas relaxamentos e/ou pranayamas. Objetivos: a) Levantar os estudos que abordam os efeitos dos exercícios de controle respiratório (pranayamas) sobre a pressão arterial; b) Verificar o efeito de intervenção com pranayamas com ritmo lento na pressão arterial de hipertensos, sob tratamento em Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Métodos: Para isso, foram conduzidos dois estudos principais. a) Uma revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos que buscaram verificar os efeitos dos pranayamas na pressão arterial. Foram pesquisadas três bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed/Medline, Scopus e Bireme, a análise de viés foi avaliada pela escala PEDro. b) Um ensaio clínico randomizado e controlado, composto por dois grupos (ioga - GI e exercício controle ativo - GCA). O programa foi composto de 16 sessões com duração de 30 minutos e as análises foram compostas por medidas de pressão arterial ao início e fim do programa. Resultados: a) Todos os estudos em que os participantes eram hipertensos apresentaram redução na pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) tanto nos estudos que avaliaram efeito agudo quanto nos que avaliaram o efeito crônico; na pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) apenas três estudos demonstraram redução significativa (dois investigando efeito crônico); já a frequência cardíaca apresentou diminuição em sete estudos (4 investigando efeito agudo). b) Os grupos apresentaram redução significativa na PAS nos momentos, porém não foi encontrada diferença entre os grupos; os pacientes eram em sua maioria mulheres, brancos, com IMC acima do valor recomendado e classe econômica B e C; apresentavam níveis de atividade física dentro das recomendações (>150min/semana). Conclusão: a) A revisão sistemática forneceu indícios de que a utilização de pranayamas lentos e/ou com narinas alternadas possa ser uma alternativa efetiva para reduzir a pressão arterial em pacientes normotensos e hipertensos. Porém, o alto número de viés nos estudos iseridos limitam estes resultados. Portanto, são necessários novos estudos com maior rigor metodológico na área de ioga, para que os benefícios desta prática seja fortalecido e ganhe espaço como complemento ao tratamento farmacológico. b) O ensaio clínico indicou que 16 sessões de pranayamas apresentam efeito hipotensor crônico para PAS em pacientes com hipertensão arterial, mas não foram encontradas diferenças entre o GI e GCA. Porém, o baixo número de pacientes incluídos, limita as análises e as possíveis respostas da pressão arterial aos pranayamas.
Introduction: The number of individuals affected by arterial hypertension is alarming worldwide, so the search for effective strategies to reduce blood pressure values and their consequences are the subject of numerous studies. The practices of yoga have been encouraged through the National Politics of Integrative and Complementary Practices in the SUS, for being effective in the prevention and treatment of several pathologies, including arterial hypertension, with a significant hypotensive effect. It can be used with all techniques (ethical principles, asanas, pranayamas, relaxation, meditation) together in the same session or in isolation, as many studies investigating only relaxation and / or pranayamas. Objectives: a) Raise studies that address the effects of respiratory control exercises (pranayamas) on blood pressure; b) To verify the effect of intervention with pranayamas with slow rhythm in the hypertensive blood pressure, under treatment in Basic Health Unit (UBS). Methods: Two main studies were conducted. a) A systematic review of clinical trials that sought to verify the effects of pranayamas on blood pressure. We searched three electronic databases PubMed / Medline, Scopus and Bireme, the bias analysis was evaluated by the PEDro scale. b) A randomized controlled trial, composed of two groups (yoga - GI and exercise control active - GCA). The program consisted of 16 sessions lasting 30 minutes and the analyzes were composed of blood pressure measurements at the beginning and end of the program. Results: a) All studies in which the participants were hypertensive had a reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP), both in the studies that evaluated the acute effect and in those that evaluated the chronic effect; in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) only three studies showed significant reduction (two investigating chronic effect); already the heart rate presented decrease in seven studies (4 investigating acute effect). b) Groups showed a significant reduction in SBP at moments, but no difference was found between groups; the patients were mostly white women with BMI above the recommended value and economic class B and C; presented levels of physical activity within the recommendations (> 150min / week). Conclusion: a) The systematic review has provided indications that the use of slow pranayamas and / or alternate nostrils may be an effective alternative for reducing blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive patients. However, the high number of bias in the iserid studies limits these results. Therefore, new studies with greater methodological rigor in the area of yoga are needed, so that the benefits of this practice are strengthened and gain space as a complement to pharmacological treatment. b) The clinical trial indicated that 16 sessions of pranayamas present a chronic hypotensive effect for SBP in patients with arterial hypertension, but no differences were found between GI and GCA. However, the low number of patients included limits the analyzes and possible responses of blood pressure to pranayamas.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Yoga pranayama on pre-match emotion and sports performance for athletes. Thirty-eight female high school table tennis and basketball players participated in this study. According to sports, participants were randomly assigned into two groups, respectively for the experimental and control group. There were 9 table tennis and 10 basketball players in each group. The experimental group was subjected to "yoga pranayama", and the control group was subjected to "progressive relaxation training" twice a week, 15 minutes of each time, totally 16 times for 8 weeks. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R and sport competition were conducted before and after the 8-week experiment to evaluate effects of Yoga pranayama on athletes' pre-match emotion. Experimental data were further analyzed by mixed 2 × 2 ANOVAs separately. The results showed: First, both the two groups reported lower level of pre-competition cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety at the post-test than at the pre-test. Second, the group of yoga pranayama demonstrated similar sports performance to the group of relaxation training. Third, for the group of yoga pranayama, sports performance at the post-test was better than at the pre-test. The findings suggest that both yoga pranayama and progressive relaxation play an effective role in regulating cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety. Especially, yoga pranayama training is evident to enhance athletic performance and emotional regulation.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are an important component of the multidisciplinary approach to minimizing the symptomatology of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Within the program, patients learn about how to live with their non-curable disease and how to minimize exacerbations. Although patients learn about their disease process, breathing techniques, and exercise, there are no specific components that bridge the mind and body gap to promote mindfulness through the patients’ efforts within the program. LITERATURE REVIEW FINDINGS: This thesis contains a comprehensive literature review composed largely of randomized trials. These trials and studies summarize the framework of pulmonary rehabilitation programs and how yoga is implemented within treatment options for chronic diseases. The literature review highlights that pulmonary rehabilitation programs improve the quality of life in patients with emphysema through patient education on breathing and exercise. However, there is a lack of literature on the use of yoga techniques of breathing and exercise within the framework of pulmonary rehabilitation programs to promote mindfulness when living with a chronic disease. PROPOSED PROJECT: This thesis proposes a randomized controlled study to identify a more mindful approach to a pulmonary rehabilitation program for emphysema patients through the use of timed ujjayi pranayama (mindful breathing) and yoga asanas (poses). CONCLUSIONS: The results will be analyzed to determine if yoga techniques lead to statistically significant improvement in patient outcomes in emphysema patients enrolled in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. SIGNIFICANCE: The compiled data will reveal how yoga breathwork and movement will be beneficial for emphysema patients enrolled within a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Abstract:
The object of this dissertation is to illustrate the significance of Prana (life breath):- -As it obtains in the oral tradition -With reference to the Aramaic Rouhah -In Pranayama (breath control) -In Surya Namaskar (Obeisance to the sun) The role of Prana in man was recognised and venerated since time immemorial. In the introduction, Prana is perceived as a global, anthropological phenomenon. Chapter one provides a theoretical framework linking Pranato Oral Tradition by focusing on Marcel Jousse and his teachings; the Orality Perspective and the Orality - Literacy interface. Since the earliest record of the terms; yoga, Prana and Pranayama appear in the Vedas, the significance of the Vedas, especially as they exemplify oral expression, is mentioned. Chapter two focuses on: firstly, Prana within the context of yoga and secondly, Prana and its relation to the Aramaic Rouhah. The congruency of thought on the breath suffices to entrench Prana as a global entity. In chapter three, the enhancement of the quality and quantity of Prana via Pranayama (control of the breath) is discussed. Pranayama sets out with the purpose of achieving complete harmonisation of the body-mind axis, and thereby proceeding to the divinisatlon of energy. A cohesive whole is established by three essential and integrated elements; the breath (Prana), the physical gesture (asana) and the spoken gesture (mantra) in Surya Namaskar. Oral features in these elements are analysed in chapter four. The conclusion serves to emphasize that the wealth of oral tradition is amply evident in the concepts of Prana, Rouhah and Prananayama.

Abstract:
Bronchial asthma incidence constitutes a compelling health and socioeconomical problem. Patients of all ages suffer from asthma, and no methods of effective prevention or healing are currently available. Poorly controlled asthma causes increase of financial expenditure as well as remarkable restriction of activities of daily living; it might even lead to death. In Czech republic, the number of patients with asthma is estimated at 500 000. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of yoga exercise as a potential effective adjunct treatment on bronchial asthma state in adults. Theoretic part of the thesis describes pathological changes present in respiratory system, breathing pattern disorders and postural functions characteristic for patients suffering asthma disease. It also represents a brief summary of up to date findings of possible mechanisms on which are Spiral yoga and pranayama based, especially on these which can have an influence on obstructive lung disorders. Experimental part deals with the methodology and it reveals the process of making randomized clinical pilot study. Between 11 adult participants were investigated at the start and at the end of a three-month- long therapy. Investigation included pulmonary function tests, thoracic perimeter measurement, spine mobility...

AbstractIn the absence of information about the role of breathing as part of the contemplative exercises of medieval English mystics, this essay investigates instead modern-day breathing practices as advocated by teachers of brass instruments and modern-day spiritual movements. Arnold Jacobs and Michel Ricquier offer information about breathing techniques for the use of brass musicians that share revealing characteristics with proponents of Holotropic Breathwork, itself influenced by pranayama, the art of breath control. The evidence gathered, once applied to the practice of short-word contemplative exercises encouraged by fourteenth-century mystics, provides ground-breaking information on the transformative power of breath in medieval contemplation.

Abstract:
The benefits of pranayama for positive health are well known. Even though there are many studies published on the effectiveness of pranayama, there are very few papers that actually have systematically studied the physiological mechanisms involved, causing the benefits of pranayama, especially with respect to the cardiac function. This chapter attempts to have a detailed look at the physiology behind deep breathing. The chapter also conjectures that voluntary, deep breathing with attention may have a role to play in faster recovery from surgeries and prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and maybe even cancer. Extended, carefully controlled, and detailed studies are needed to prove or disprove these conjectures.
