Svara Yoga

by Swami Sivananda

Svara Yoga is an ancient Hindu science and Art that has fully analyzed the working of the Life-Principle, Prana, and the functioning of life within this body. It deals with the various channels along which the Prana vibrates within this body animating it and also prescribes means to regulate the flow of Prana to ensure good health and longevity.

This Science or Yoga of Svara is more subtle and all comprehensive than the Science of Pranayama, which when compared to the former, is but a bare outline of Svara Yoga. I Svara Yoga we find various effective means to check disease and death. This Yoga of breath should be practiced under the direct guidance of a fully qualified Yogi.
