My studies with Krishnamacharya were only the first part of my yoga journey. I have spent decades continuing to study and practice after his demise too. Yoga is the journey toward peace and wellbeing in life. You never stop that journey once you start; there is no good reason to.

When I started my yoga studies, I did not learn only practices from Krishnamacharya. He spent a lot of time teaching me traditional texts and yoga theory. The principle here is: the more I understood, the more I became capable of practicing on my own, and then teaching others. Theory without practice is lame; it cannot take you anywhere. Practice without understanding is blind; it can lead you to dead ends and dangers.

Pranayama is a lifelong practice. You never stop breathing as long as you are alive. Breath is the most important life function you can work with for your wellbeing. When you learn pranayama, you must also gain knowledge on how to work with your breath. Do not just follow instructions; try to increase your understanding as well.

Your breath changes from day to day and time to time. You must be able to observe your breath and modify your pranayama practice accordingly. The teacher cannot do that for you every day. So learning pranayama is not about just following a practice video or teacher in a class. It is also about understanding the different techniques, their cautions and limits, when to use them. This is necessary even for an ordinary yoga practitioner. Just as you need to understand some basic principles to exercise safely and effectively in a gym, you must learn how pranayama techniques work if you want to keep doing the practice lifelong safely and effectively. Always learn both the theory and the practice.
