Yogis study the science of breath. The strategic aim of yoga is complete connection with the Love Supreme, who is known by many names. The tactical aim of meditation is control of the breath, which cultivates one's connection to the spirit of life(the word "spirit" comes from the Latin "spiritus," which means "breath.") Yoga aligns the body and sets the breath to a steady rythm, so that the body has a steady intake of prana (energy). The body receives prana from three sources: Breath, food, and sunlight, in respective order. We can survive for weeks without food and days without water, but without breath life will be over in a matter of minutes.
