Origin, history

This training type, as well as "Harmony" and "Power", is derived from Pranayama, and is an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics.
This pattern is actively popularized by Andrew Weil, MD, who claims "it puts you to sleep in 60 seconds".
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice Yoga and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
