Breathing plays an important role in yoga. When practicing posture, be sure to breathe according to the coach's instructions. If you teach yourself, you should pay special attention to the explanation of the breathing part. The three elements of yoga are posture, breathing and relaxation. Various postures are only part of yoga. If you don't know how to relax and breathe, you will feel unbearable pain when practicing posture. I often tell students, "If you don't know how to breathe and relax, then doing yoga posture is just self-abuse. When practicing yoga, people often exercise very deep muscles and keep the same posture for a period of time, which often makes them clench their teeth and even look ferocious. In fact, this is not correct. Deep breathing and slow breathing can help the muscles of the body relax and calm down. If you can master breathing skills, the feeling of pain will be relieved and replaced by a comfortable feeling of deep stretching. Only by mastering the breathing method can the body relax and it is meaningful to practice the posture method, so breathing can be said to be the most important part of the three elements of yoga. There are many ways to breathe in yoga, the most common one is abdominal breathing. The so-called abdominal breathing does not suck air into the abdomen, but helps the lung cavity to have greater elasticity between expansion and contraction with the help of abdominal muscles during breathing. Relax and naturally inhale and vomit. When inhaling, the abdomen protrudes, so that the diaphragm has room to descend, and the lungs can expand as much as possible and suck in more oxygen; When exhaling, the abdomen is depressed inward, the diaphragm is lifted upward, the lung cavity is minimized, and the air is exhaled as much as possible. Many people are used to hunching their shoulders when inhaling. At this time, the diaphragm rises, which not only sucks less air, but also puts pressure on their shoulders for no reason. This is inefficient breathing, and it is easy to get tired after long-term accumulation. When you first try abdominal breathing, you may feel breathless, but don't worry. As long as you insist on yoga classes for more than half a year and pay attention to your breathing style in class, one day you will suddenly find that you have integrated abdominal breathing into your life and gradually turn the correct and labor-saving breathing style into a habit, and your spirit will naturally improve and your mood will be more stable.
