Pranayama means the regulation of breath. Pranayama is the fourth stage in ashtanga yoga.
Breath and mind are closely related. If one can control the breath, one can control the mind and visa versa. Pranayama gives steadiness and lightness to the body and calmness to the mind.

Our health improves and one gets clarity of mind.
