Three yoga breathing methods
Many people have many misunderstandings about how to adjust their breathing when doing yoga. Let's take a look at the correct breathing method when doing yoga.

There are three kinds of yoga breathing methods: abdominal breathing, chest breathing and complete breathing.

First, abdominal breathing: breathing at the bottom of the lungs, feeling that the abdomen is stirring and the chest is relatively static.

Action essentials: 1. The thumb and forefinger of both hands are triangular and placed in the center of navel. 2. Put your hand on your abdomen, inhale slowly through your nostrils, relax your abdomen, and feel the air being sucked into your abdomen. Your hands can feel your abdomen lifting higher and higher. In fact, the diaphragm drops, forcing air into the bottom of your abdomen. When exhaling, the abdominal muscles contract slowly, the diaphragm rises, and the air is discharged from the lungs. It takes twice as long to exhale as to inhale.

Fitness effect: it is the basic breathing method. Breathe slowly and consciously with the abdominal muscles, put your hand on the abdomen, you can feel the movement of the abdomen, concentrate your consciousness, and the energy in your hand can be transmitted to the abdomen.

Second, chest breathing: breathe with the upper and middle parts of the lungs, feeling that the chest is expanding and contracting, and the abdomen is relatively motionless.

Action essentials: shut up. Exhale gas forcefully and briefly from both nostrils. Just like a steam engine makes a sound, naturally inhale and exhale 1 sec 1 time.

Fitness effect: It is a breathing method that makes the mind clear and the body active. Breathe through one nostril, but breathe at a prescribed speed.

Third, complete breathing: the upper, middle and lower parts of the lung are involved in breathing. Abdomen, chest and even the whole body have a feeling of ups and downs.

Action essentials: 1. Breathe out clean air. Inhale slowly into the abdomen, as if to inflate it. Lift the air filled in the abdomen to the chest. Next. Inhale and lift your shoulders to bring air into your throat. 2. Slowly abdomen, chest, shoulders down, exhale.

Fitness effect: make the abdomen, chest, shoulders and throat consciously use this method, and use this breathing method in the lower, middle and upper parts of the lungs. During exercise, you will feel that the energy trapped in your lungs will be released, and fresh energy will fill your lungs.
