YOGA BREATHING
Posted: April 9th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: General health | No Comments »To help focus your attention inward, start with two minutes of “complete breath” exercises.
Sit cross-legged on a firm cushion on the floor, or find another seated position in which your back is straight but also relaxed.
Begin inhaling slowly and deeply through the nose. Relax your belly so that it expands with each incoming breath, and let your chest and rib cage expand. At the very “top” of each inhalation, your shoulders will lift slightly. At this point, exhale by relaxing your shoulders and then your ribs. Then tighten your belly to squeeze the air out. Relax and repeat.
important: When we breathe ordinarily, each inhalation lasts longer than each exhalation. With yoga breathing, inhalation and exhalation should take the same amount of time.
