'''Prāṇāyāma''' (devanāgarī: प्राणायाम) is a [[Sanskrit]] term composed of two words. The first is ''[[prāṇa]]'', and refers to the life force or vital energy, and also to the breath. The second word can be ''ayāma'' (beginning with short ''a'': "extension", "expansion") or āyāma (beginning with long ''a'': "stopping", "restraining"). Therefore, the composed term can be translated as either ''extension'' or ''stopping'' of the life force or breath.
