he Pranayama Institute is a non-sectarian, non-profit educational public charity dedicated to making available, at no cost to students, techniques of breath and mind control.

For those interested in delving into the rich spiritual philosophy behind pranayama, the best place to begin is in picking up a copy of God Without Religion, Sankara Saranam's highly acclaimed and multi-award winning "spiritual masterpiece."
In the past, the practice of pranayama was limited to a select few, namely monks, ascetics, and mystics. Today, it is both possible and necessary to disseminate the techniques of regulated breathing and concentration on a vastly wider scale. The system of pranayama is credited with conferring upon its practitioner a calm, balanced, and focused mind, increased vitality, and longevity. Pranayama awakens the brain and the cerebrospinal nerve centers to their limitless potential. There is ample proof that many of the great spiritual and intellectual giants of the past were adepts in the practice of pranayama in one form or another.
