Breath

In yoga sessions, the flow of your breath is crucial. You may enhance circulation and reduce stress while engaging your mind and body by breathing slowly and deeply during your daily routine. Yoga breathing reduces the risk of injury by allowing your body to relax while moving through various poses. Deep breathing also calms the body's physical stress reaction, which includes a racing heart, rapid breathing, and elevated blood pressure.

There are five golden rules of breathing that can be applied to all styles of yoga. First, inhale when opening the front of the body. It means you should backbend, raise your head, and raise your arms. The Cobra Pose is an excellent illustration of this combination. The head is elevated, the chest is extended, and the belly goes down as you peel off the floor in Cobra posture. Secondly, exhale while compressing the front of the body. Forward bending causes the front of the body to be compressed.

Next, do not move if the breath is suspended after inhaling. Inhalations have a maximum effect, but you can prolong it by holding your breath for a few seconds following. Yoga practitioners may employ this approach. In addition, don't forget to only move during breath suspension if it’s following an exhalation. And the most important rule is to breathe deeply and effortlessly. All movement should be guided by the breath.
