How to do Yoga Breathing (alternate nostril)

YOGA BREATHING
You can go for weeks without food, days without water, but only a few minutes without breathing. Breathing has such an immediate impact on your mind and body that even the act of inhaling vs. exhaling affects your nervous system differently. It’s common to train in diet, exercise and even hydration, but almost no one trains their breath. This is a huge missed opportunity for health-seekers.
Did you know…
Breathing can change your blood PH (acid/alkaline) in minutes. No food, exercise or medication acts as quickly.
You can often determine your dominant nervous system state simply by placing your finger underneath your nostrils and exhaling.
Reduced rate breathing can stimulate rest and digest, parasympathetic nervous system state to help with sleep, stress, and anxiety.
Rapid, pulsed breathing stimulates a sympathetic nervous system response to increase energy, prepare for exercise, or boost the body’s natural defenses.
Diaphragmatic breathing massages the Vagus Nerve and reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress.2
Severe respiratory conditions like asthma can be successfully managed by increasing CO2 levels in the blood.3
Breathing can help reduce the fear of public speaking, improve digestion, reduce insomnia, lower stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.

I love this! And I'm telling you it works! I use it throughout my stressful work day. (I literally go into the bathroom and try a few breathes.) It's like pressing a "restart" button. ❤ Bonus, it helps lower my blood pressure. ❤

Glad it works well for you! - YOGABODY Team

Thanks Lucas, you have prompted me to create a similar video for my students. The Breath Coach Training is a great addition. I'd been teaching yoga for over 10 years when I took it in June 2020 but find the way Lucas simplifies the teachings and the science extremely useful, the course was definitely worthwhile.

[@gildasnicot3052]

Thanks for the mini practice. The Yoga Breathing course is great, I recommend it to all! :)

Thanks for your support!

So calming thanks. Looking forward to learning more on breathing course with you next week 🫁🙏🏻

Dear Lucas I watched your video carefully. In pranayama, as far as I know, it is called nodi shodana. In many videos on KZbin it is also indicated to practice it with retention on inhalation and in others with retention both on inhalation and exhalation. My request would be to detail these details and when it is recommended to practice each one as well as the retention times in relation to the inhalation and exhalation times. Maybe you made a video in this sense and I didn't watch it. A link in this sense is very useful. Thank you in advance

Do you breathe through your chest or your belly ?

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Diaphragm, rib cage, slightly lift in collarbones, then reverse.
