New Yoga Life

Perfect combination of asana and breathing, 5 yoga variant movements, correctly open yoga breathing!

Yoga breathing method is a kind of breathing method that can effectively massage the internal organs through various breathing methods (determined according to the different physical and mental conditions of individuals).

The air pollution in modern cities is quite serious.

The effective oxygen content in the air is getting less and less, while the population is getting more and more, so the competition of “oxygen” is increasing the burden of the center lung.

This should also be a reason why we should pay attention to yoga breathing in our age.

The targeted training of yoga breathing method is very fast and great for the improvement of body and mind.

As we all know, breathing is our life.

Without breathing, there is no sign of life.

It is also very accurate to put this sentence into yoga postures.

In other words, if the breath is not good and smooth, even if the action is beautiful, the effect will be discounted.

Why do you say that? Let me take an example.

If you are doing a backward movement, your breath will become uncomfortable because your neck is tense.

If you stay in this position for a short time, you will feel unable to breathe and your head will be a little faint.

This is the natural reaction of discomfort caused by poor breathing.

However, have you noticed that some movements can become a little easier even if they were originally difficult because of the good cooperation between inhalation and vomiting? It is like a forward bending action.

If you can only bend forward when you exhale, it will be easier to do it.

On the contrary, if you inhale or close your breath and do the same action, you will feel as if you are stuck.

No.1 The principle of breathing and action coordination Although we know that breathing should be coordinated with action, how can we do it smoothly? Here are some very simple principles: It is better to exhale when you fold your body (forward bending type).

It is better to open the front chest (represented by leaning back) and inhale.

Twisting is also done by exhaling.

Do not act when holding your breath for a short time.

However, yoga is not only a single stay, but also includes preparation and departure, so the inhalation and vomiting are done in one go.

For example, when doing forward bending, first inhale to lengthen the spine, open the chest (preparatory type), and then exhale to bend forward.

You can stay here for several breaths, and then use inspiration to cooperate when you want to return to the original standing position (leaving type).

This set is the complete forward bending type, and the whole suction and spitting are well matched.

Another important point is that if we stay in a certain place, we must not hold our breath, we must breathe smoothly, and we can make our body do a little more deeply through exhaling.

Take the twist pose for example.

We stop when our hands and feet get stuck, and turn our body back.

Then we use the natural breathing method.

But when we exhale, we can turn our abdomen a little tighter, open our chest a little more, and stop where we are when we breathe in, as long as we lengthen our back.

In this way, you can turn your body back more when you exhale several times.

Why can you do more when you exhale? That’s because when we exhale, our body can be relaxed, so we can do more with exhalation.

The more difficult the movements are, the more relaxed the muscles can be through deep breathing, which doubles the effectiveness of postures.

No.2 When to inhale and when to exhale? One of the most common problems faced by yoga beginners is that they often don’t know when to inhale? When should I exhale? Often follow the teacher’s command and pay attention to whether the action is wrong, and pay attention to whether the breath is right, which makes me busy.

The breathing of postural method also bothered me for a while, and I often wondered “must I breathe in and out according to the teacher’s method?” Until I read a book, the long-term question was finally answered.

Yoga wise people believe that the breathing in asana is very natural, just like our normal inhalation and vomiting.

Instead of holding your breath, the length will also be adjusted due to different conditions.

No.

3 Yoga Practice: Principles of Breathing and Spitting Principle 1: Breathe in when you unfold, and exhale when you contract and twist.

In the past, when the hands are stretched upward, they will breathe in together, and when the body bends down to the ground, they will breathe out.

Principle 2: Emphasize the posture of a certain part.

When staying in the posture, take several deep breaths.

For example, when doing downward dog pose, push your hips to the top, support your hands and feet on the ground, and the pose looks like a triangle from the side.

Now take four deep breaths here to strengthen the muscle lines of your back and legs.

Principle 3: Breathing can be faster in difficult movements, and breathing is deeper in balanced positions.

If you compare shoulder standing with tree standing, of course, the breath of shoulder standing will be faster, while that of tree standing can be slower.

No.4 It is not easy for beginners to just remember the key points of postures when breathing according to their own conditions.

It would be good if they could pay attention to the breathing.

However, if you are an experienced yoga person, please pay attention to the breathing in each asana, especially the abdominal breathing method.

Because in deep and slow breathing, you can breathe more oxygen to relax your body.

The more difficult the postures are, please challenge them with deep breathing.

Please remember that some of the softness in yoga is innate, but a larger part is “the combination of body, mind and breath”.

Softness is not the most important thing in yoga, but it is an indispensable practice.

Breathing is one of the most important parts of yoga, so please practice it anytime and anywhere, and you can experience its powerful and wonderful use slowly.

What is the soul of yoga? It’s breathing! Yes, similarly, breathing is also a symbol of life.

We can regulate our body and balance left and right chakras through breathing..
