How To Breathe Like A Yoga Master helps you have energy, be relaxed, helps prevent your body from injuries.Tips
- Each inhalation/exhalation cycle should require several seconds to complete. Use a pace that is comfortable for you, but the deeper and slower you are able to breathe, the better.
- It can be tricky to get the hang of this at first, but it helps to imagine the breathing cycle as a circle. During each cycle, the chest and abdomen rise and fall in a smooth, uninterrupted manner.
Warnings
- If you begin to feel light-headed or experience other unusual phenomena, discontinue the exercise.
