This is the quintessential yoga breath that is the basis for a healthy practice of yoga and a healthy life. Today many of us because of the level of speed we live under, are rushing- stressed, as a result rather than breathing more deeply- we default to breathing less.
Problems with Improper Breathing:
- anxiety
- inability to concentrate
- feeling stressed, rushed all the time
- health problems as a result of not oxygenating the body
Benefits of Correct Breath
- more energy, better deeper sleep
- less anxious, more calm
- feelings of joy as muscles relax, including the heart
- parasympathetic nervous system works optimally
We accomplish our goals and feel happier- isn’t that why we strive for “success” so hard? Think about it- we think once we have our money goals, we will…wait for it…feel better!!
Feel better now! Make this a 3x week or daily practice till it becomes a habit. It could change your life.
