The word prana was first mentioned in the Chandogya Upanishad & Rig Veda written in 1500 BCE. Prana is translated from sanskrit as life force energy. It is a term used in yogic teachings to reference the manifest energy of the entire universe - “the fundamental basis of whatever is, was and will be”.

Pranayama means to expand life force. Its practices are designed to clear blockages, stagnant energy, and illnesses and imbalances in the body and mind. The control of breathing is the direct method to affect life force.
