Research Interest

Pranayama/breathing exercises on health.
My research with Teens proved that pranayama can help with obesity and control hunger. This is one way to control increased caloric consumption. Pranayama increases oxygen supply to the system that invigorates the whole body to energize. I strongly believe that Yogic practice should not be limited by religion/race/origin of individuals because human body has similar energy pathways irrespective of social differences.
