Ayurveda is the Indian Healing Science.
Pranayama are the Breathing Exercises from
Hatha Yoga. In Ayurveda, Pranayamas can be used very effectively.
Sukadev gives you recommendations regarding the practice of pranayama from the point of view of Ayurveda. Sukadev talks about
Agni,
Ama and
Dosha — and he explains how Breathing Exercises (Pranayama) affect Agni, Ama and Dosha. A particular focus of his lecture are the Doshas
Vata,
Pitta and
Kapha. Which Yoga Practices, which Pranayama, should people with Vata, Pitta or Kapha Prakriti practice? Which Pranayamas help to calm down and reduce excessive Vata, Pitta or Kapha.
Small note: This video does not contain any Vreathing Exercises. You can find the corresponding Breathing Exercises as Practice Videos 3B, 3C and 3D, so on
