Prana Vidya: Breath, Mind and the Art of Yoga Therapy is a comprehensive clinical and philosophical guide to pranayama for yoga therapists, teachers, and serious practitioners.
At its heart is the Two Pots model - an original clinical framework that makes the mechanics of breathing immediately accessible and every pranayama technique understandable from the inside. Drawing on classical Vedantic philosophy, Hatha Yoga science, Ayurvedic medicine, and contemporary neuroscience, the book presents yoga therapy not as a collection of isolated techniques but as a unified science of human transformation.
The book covers the Pancha Prana and Pancha Kosha frameworks, the complete clinical application of all principal pranayamas and kumbhaka practices, the relationship between breath and emotional states, Nadi and Chakra theory, Ayurvedic constitutional assessment, and a progressive clinical practice programme. Thirteen case studies drawn from three decades of clinical practice illustrate honest, measured therapeutic outcomes across anxiety, depression, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, chronic pain, respiratory conditions, and prenatal mental health.
Written by Abha Bajaj, C-IAYT, this book carries a foreword by Dr H.R. Nagendra, Chancellor of S-VYASA Deemed University, Bangalore - one of the world's foremost authorities on yoga therapy and research.
