Free breathing pays more attention to the adaptation of body rhythm and breathing rhythm, so as to keep the body in a relatively gentle state. In other words, when we practice yoga, our body will have great energy fluctuations, because some specific actions will consume energy. For example, some typical flat supports will consume our muscle strength very much. We should keep breathing steady, and then do not affect the overall movement rhythm, so that yoga will have better results. Just like the three-step breathing in running, having a good breathing rhythm can make exercise more effective and reduce improper energy consumption.
But yoga is an activity of shaping the body, and this law of free breathing only has a certain effect on the exercise effect of yoga. When we live a normal life, our bodies will automatically enter a state of intelligence. We don't need to deliberately control our breathing. Only when we do some strenuous exercise, we need to adjust our breathing rhythm, so as to ensure the normal operation of the body and not affect the effect of exercise.
Therefore, the free breathing method advocated in yoga is more to adapt the rhythm of the body to the rhythm of breathing. The effect of exercise is obviously reduced, and the law of frequent wheezing and hypoxia caused by strenuous exercise is still very simple. As long as the breathing frequency is properly controlled during exercise, a professional yoga instructor will tell you what kind of breathing to cooperate with. Because yoga moves are different, some are very simple, just keep a fixed posture, and some postures consume more energy and have different corresponding breathing frequencies.
