Pranayama is a yogic exercise by which one balances the respiratory cycle
in such a way that there is complete ‘Suppression’ or control of the breath Note
and it is through this that the old sages had the transcendental experience."
In the British period for the first time in 1882 the Indian Education
Commission recommended physical training in school education.

Private organisations for physical education like gymnasia, Vyayam Shala,
Akhadas and Kreeda mandals contributed much for spreading traditional
