Answers:
Pranayama is extention and control of the breath. It has to do with Yoga.
Other Answers:
In yoga, the breath seen as one of the life-giving energies or forces of the universe. So the processes of breath control is called pranayama.
# (Sanskrit) [from prana breath + ayama restraining, stopping] The fourth of the eight states of yoga, consisting of various methods of regulating the breath. The three forms of pranayama are puraka (the inhaling); kumbhaka (the retaining); and rechaka (the exhaling). Pranayama (Devanagari: प्राणायाम, prāNāyāma) is a breathing exercise originally expounded by Patanjali, an ancient Hindu philosopher and yogi, in his Yoga Sutras, a text on various yogic technicques.
While there is credible evidence (mostly as anecdotes from its regular practitioners) to believe that Pranayama helps acquire calmness of mind during its practice (like any other kinds of meditational techniques), any supernatural/semi-magical powers attributed to it are not scientifically proven.
Though the Hindu philosophers starting from Patanjali have developed a whole range of arcane philosophies around Pranayama and other yogic asanas, it has never been beyond criticism. Carvaka, the ancient Indian materialist philosopher, for instance, was a stringent critic of the yogic-practitioners.
