Pranayama - The Silence Of Breathing
By Kevin Pederson

Pranayama, also known as yogic breathing is the method of silencing the breath. Prana has been defined as the air which flows through the body. Pranayama is made up of three parts: controlled inhalations, controlled exhalations and holding of the breath. When you do all the three parts, it is called sahita while doing only the holding breath without the other two is called kevala. You should start with sahita till kevala comes into being.
