Conscious breathing   Bookmark or Share This Video t7WFq17NxWADownload Video     Before starting the Asanas (as-anas) or the yogic postures, it is vital that you start with the practice of Pranayama (praa-na-yaa-ma) or the yogic breathing exercises. And what is Yogic Breathing (Pranayama) Pranayama is loosely translated as prana (pra-aana) or breathe control. Breathing affects our state of mind. It can make us excited or calm, tense or relaxed. It can make our thinking confused or clear. In the ancient yogic tradition, air is the primary source of life force, a psycho-physio-spiritual force that permeates the universe. Yogic breathing is used in yoga as a separate practice to help clear and cleanse the body and mind. It oxygenates the lungs by getting rid of enormous quantity of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases. It is also used in preparation for asana, the practice of yogic postures and meditation, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the mind.

MegadethSpiT @brocktherock68 lol XD btw dont hate. brocktherock68 conscious breathing ruined my life, now I have to manually think to take each breath, i hate it thesteveoman I feel sleepy when i do that :P TheOtherMic Nice video, thanks. lordcapucino ahhahahahahahhahaha BestPiperonMars @NonEvernoThing Uh, close, The air we breathe only has about 18% oxygen, the rest is Nitrogen and CO2. SO any breathing technique could in no way deliver 'too much' oxygen. Teiichi45 thank you, my health has been much better since finding out about abdominal breathing. One thing I am unsure of - should the exhaling breath be longer (as demonstrated in the video a twice as long as) the inhalation breath, or should they equal? Or is it better if you breath out for as long as you can as this is a sign of relaxation? Back to Yoga Poses / Homepage
