Pranayama is the fourth of the eight limbs of yoga, and it's the one most people have actually practiced without realising it. Every time someone has told you to take a deep breath, say before a hard conversation, after a shock, or maybe in the middle of something overwhelming? That were pointing you toward Pranayama. Yoga just gave it a framework, a name, and a practice sophisticated enough to meet the full complexity of what you're going through.
