How Pranayama Yoga prepare us for Meditation - with Rio Otoya at SCHOOL OF PRANA

Rio Otoya

Many find meditation very hard to practice and eventually drop out. Yogic pranayama breathing may be the answer. Traditional Yoga considers meditation as an advanced practice. A teacher told me that meditation "“Doing Meditation is like eating rice, you have to cook it first”. Pranayama offers a practice prior to Meditation that can help us calm our nervous system and develop concentration prior a Meditation practice.
