Yoga breathing is a kind of breathing method that effectively massages the internal organs through various breathing methods (depending on the individual's different physical and mental conditions). Breathing is the foundation of life and one of the important training contents of hatha yoga. Targeted yoga breathing training is quite rapid and huge for the improvement of body and mind. The following is an introduction to the relevant content, hoping to help you.

Yoga breathing 1- abdominal breathing

Method:

1, lie on your back and put one hand about 3 inches below your navel (with the fourth finger together);

2. Keep breathing evenly, exhale slowly, and tighten the abdomen inward (toward the spine);

3. Inhale, directly inhale the air into the abdomen, the abdomen bulges outward, the gas sinks into the whole abdominal cavity, and the nose breathes (to make breathing slower and deeper, filter impurities in the air, and make breathing smoother without causing flatulence in the stomach).

Features:

Inhale, the diaphragm drops; Exhale, diaphragm rises and falls.

Function:

Massage the abdominal organs to enhance the oxygen entering the body, thus strengthening the blood's nourishment and circulation to the abdominal organs.

Yoga Breathing 2- Chest Breathing

Method:

1, supine, inhale, ribs expand outward, diaphragm rises upward, but don't let the abdomen expand. Instead of bloating, suck air directly into the chest area. When breathing in the chest, the chest area should be enlarged and the abdomen should be kept flat;

2. Then, as you inhale deeper, your abdomen will contract inward and toward your spine;

3. Exhale, ribs shrink downward, contract, and diaphragm shrinks.

Function:

Strengthen the stomach, make the lung tissue more powerful, and thus enhance the resistance to respiratory diseases (colds, asthma).

Time:

After 6: 00 a.m. is better.

Yoga Breathing 3- Complete Breathing

Method:

1, lie on your back, empty the abdominal air and tighten the abdomen;

2. Inhale slowly, the abdomen bulges out, continue to inhale the residual gas in the chest, open the rib lifting place, and hold your breath for 1~2 seconds;

3, exhale, first empty the air in the chest, restore the ribs, and then use the residual gas to exhale, tighten and restore the abdomen.

Features:

1. The inspiratory direction of diaphragm drops and then rises (in one breath);

2. The diaphragm exhales downward and exhausts from the chest to the abdomen (the diaphragm does not move).

Efficacy:

1, comprehensively improve the respiratory system, supply oxygen and blood, purify the body and accelerate blood circulation, especially for nerve endings. Blood is very beneficial to nerve endings and people with poor blood circulation;

2. Make lung tissue stronger;

3. Effectively increase physical activity and endurance;

4. Increase the circulation of Plana (the breath of life) to make the mind more alert and clear (improve intelligence).

Complete breathing or yoga breathing is a combination of abdominal breathing and chest breathing. This is a natural way to breathe. With a little practice, this breathing method will be carried out automatically in all your daily practice and life, and you will get used to it.

"Full Breathing" should be smooth and gentle. Different stages should not be divided or skipped step by step. The whole breathing should be a smooth movement-just like a wave rising gently from the abdomen to the top of the chest, and then weakening and disappearing. Exhale should not be urgent or laborious, but should be steady and gradual.

Yoga Breathing 4- Breathing through the left and right meridians:

Method:

1. Meditate according to a comfortable yoga method. Place the index finger and middle finger in the center of the forehead, the thumb next to the right nostril and the ring finger next to the left nostril.

2. Cover your right nostril with your thumb and do abdominal breathing;

3, rapid, rhythmic and powerful continuous inhalation and exhalation (but not violent), so that the abdomen expands and contracts;

4. Breathe completely like this for 20 times;

5. Then inhale deeply through the left nostril (complete yoga breathing), and then close both nostrils (thumb covers the right nostril and ring finger covers the left nostril);

6. When resting, do the method of closing the palate, or just do one of them;

7. Hold your breath for more than 10- 15 seconds, but it is appropriate to be comfortable, then relax the beam closing technique and exhale through two nostrils in a stable throat breathing mode;

8. This is a round. After two rounds, rest 1 minute, half close your eyes, and concentrate on reciting yoga sounds repeatedly.

Efficacy:

At the same time, abdominal muscles, spleen, liver and pancreas are vigorous and powerful. Stimulate appetite and improve digestion. Moreover, this breathing method can focus the mind inward, thus preparing for yoga meditation.
