Origin, history

This training type, as well as "Harmony", is derived from "Vritti Pranayama" (translated to English by B.K.S. Iengar in his book "Light of Pranayama"), an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics, and adapted to people that don't practice Yoga and/or don't have much time for practice but still need their effect.

Setting the training

1. Choose this pattern in Training tab or Control tab.
2. Set the optimal training complexity so the training brings you joy, yet doesn't seem too easy. Use the options in Control tab and/or Dynamic tab to adjust all parameters.
