Yoga Breathing

Yoga breathing re-programs your natural breathing techniques and clears the airways, allowing the lungs to work at full capacity.

Instructions:

1. Stand straight or sit in Easy pose.
2. Place both arms at your sides.
3. Keep eyes closed.
4. Slowly lift arms overhead while taking slow, deep breaths (inhale), filling abdomen first, then chest, then upper chest.
5. Slowly lower arms back down while exhaling in reverse order.

Practice for 5 minutes with emphasis on strong inhalation.

Benefits: Regular practice increases the flow of blood into the brain. Controls blood pressure and heart function. Soothes the mind and improves blood circulation in muscles. Increases energy levels and reduces stress and anxiety.
