Do I need to know yogasana with flexilibility to learn this ?
If you are able to sit in one posture comfortable and stable, its good enough for prana yoga.
We will start with preparatory exercises to keep the body flexible and energy channels open before expanding further prana yoga practices. If you already have regular practice of yogasana or sports, it will be added advantage to go deeper.
Is it unnatural to control breath ?
Pranayama is not about controlling the breath but to observe, understand, support and enhance the natural process of breath and life energy.
With observation, we can find that breath and prana gets disturbed through our thoughts and emotions unconsciously and create toxins/ disease/ blocks in our system. Through Prana yoga practice, we become aware, help detox, unblock and support energy flow into natural states.
