Breakdown: Beginning Breath (Video)



At the beginning of each asana practice- you bring your awareness to your breath. To go from daily life to the smooth and steady breath we use during practice takes well... practice.
You breathe. I breathe. It's not something we think about often.

Become aware of your breath throughout your day- it's always there to return to. Wherever you are. There it is. Just pay attention to it.

-Fun fact- 
Awareness of the inhale has a energizing quality. 
Awareness of exhale has a relaxing quality.

 

No mat required! Never strain the breath!  You're going for smooth steadiness and ease never strain! Follow common sense-  if this is something you shouldn't be doing- don't be lame- Honor your body! 

Any questions- as always please let me know.
It's why I'm here and why I do this.
