Pranayama (breathing)

Hadyn Muir is a member of the Australian Yoga Teachers Association, and employs and teaches specific yogic breathing techniques (Pranayama) during Hatha yoga classes and Raja yoga sessions:

From "The Yoga System" by Swami Krishnananda:

Simultaneously with the practice of Asanas, there should be effort towards the regulation of the Prana.
So, Asana and Pranayama go together. There is an intimate relation between the activity of the physical body and that of the Prana. The Prana is the total energy which pervades the entire physical system and acts as a medium between the body and mind. The Prana is subtler than the body but grosser than the mind. The Prana can act but cannot think. The Prana is not merely the breath. The breathing process,-inhalation, exhalation and retention-does not constitute the Prana by itself, but is an indication that the Prana is working. We cannot see the Prana; it is not any physical object. But we can infer its existence by the processes of respiration. Air is taken in and thrown out by a particular action of the Prana. Some hold that there are many Pranas and others think it is one. The Prana is really a single energy, but appears to be diverse when viewed from the standpoints of its different functions. When we breathe out, the Prana operates in one of its functional forms. When we breathe in, the Apana functions.
