Abstract

Prāṇāyāma, a fundamental aspect of Haṭha Yoga, involves the regulation and expansion of the vital force. The Yoga Upaniṣads provide extensive discussions on various yogic concepts, including Brahmavidyā, Prāṇa, Yoga-aṅgas, and Samādhi. Among these, thirteen of the twenty Yoga Upaniṣads specifically elaborate on the general features, procedural aspects, nāḍīs, vāyus, types, techniques, and outcomes of Prāṇāyāma.
