Dear Ms Kanthasamy, Thank you for your excellent videos. I discovered them a few days ago and was so amazed by your video of the Five Pranas, that I listened to it twice. Can you recommend an in-person, residential program for further study of Pranayama. Is there a school, or institution's website with information on the direct study of Pranayama? Thank you kindly for your teachings and assistance.

Madam Thanks a lot, this is very good training

[@rameshbabu3867]

Mam, your explanation is very clarified. I do only pranayam, like 1. Observation of breath. 2. Full yogic breathing. 3. Chandrabedi Anulom Vilom. 4. Nadi shodhan or Anulom Vilom. 5. Brahmari and om Mantra. I,ve anxiety and panic attacks. Is this okay Mam, I do regularly. Diaphragm breathing 5 minutes. Pls suggest me. I liked the way you explain, it's really Great. Waiting for your reply.🙏🙏🙏

[@theyogiclens9118]

The set of breathing practices you do is correct. You can just add Ujjayi exhalations. You can learn Viloma Ujjayi Pranayama and practice along with the set you mentioned. Try Yoga nidra as well...I have a separate video on yoga nidra. Try it out with earphones after coming from a walk or after Asana practice

[@rameshkumar-mg9jj]

Very good explaining anyone can easily understand. Expecting some more knowledge from your side madem. Your English also very nice Teacher👩‍🏫‍ 👏🙏

[@SathyanarayanaRao-xg9iv]

Thankyou

[@thepageturnerify]

I am practicing Yoga for quite some years. Watching your excellent videos recently, I again became anxious in doing more practice; look for more perfection and questioning what I have been doing up to now. I am grateful for these encouraging impulses. But I have one question: For Pranayama, it is the usual habit to breath in - hold - breath out - breath in again a.s.o. When counting some 12 breath per minute and I get into a deeper relaxed state, slowly the rhythm tends to change into: breath in- breathe out - hold - breath in again a.s.o., Watching animals, this is their way to breathe when they are totally relaxed (or asleep). For me it is much easier this way to lengthen my breaths and to go deeper and deeper down below 10 per min. Is it a totally wrong approach or can I go on like this? Thank you very much in advance for your advice, and I hope to see such interesting and helpful videos from you in future.

[@balawatsc2915]

Nice explanation. Good madam

[@kvenkataramani7681]

Please advise for people already in distress due to various stages of Asthma My understanding from hatayega was that abdominal breathing is what you describe as diaphragmatic breathing And what you describe as thoracic breathing is diaphragmatic breathing Please clarify the terminology according to Hatayoga pradeepika Also demonstrate faulty breathing you have observed - knowing what is wrong you are doing and be conscious of the negative aspect

[@drgarima3288]

Mam Thank you so much for such information and mam plz keep making videos related to yoga. These are really insightful. Tx

[@AA-jg7xm]

Greetings Once it was thought eating more gives you goid health Once it was thought we should keep drinking water throughout the day even if we are not thirsty. How di you know the view of deeper breaths is nit similar to the above?

[@prudhvijscript7101]

Thanks Madam for the wonderful video. Ca you please help me with my queries related to breathing. 1. While inhaling as first step do our chest needs to expand and then belly? or belly is enough? 2. while exhaling as first step do we expel from chest and then belly? can you please help with the steps of proper breathing.

[@theyogiclens9118]

Hi....Good question. When you inhale, chest expands then abdomen gently bulges out, While exhaling, abdomen recedes, then chest relaxes.

[@dharmeshturakhia9242]

Merci 🙏🏻

[@ponnuthuraichandrakumary7381]

Thanks for a valuable video

[@sarbjitsondha3062]

Thank you for teaching yogic breathing. You did a wonderful job. I have a question for you. The question is, at different times we breath through one nostril only either left or right. Is it O.K. to breathe through one nostril or we open up the nostrils by doing OM BLOM and breathe through both. You are the expert so please help me understand this phenomenon because in nature we breathe through one nostril.

[@theyogiclens9118]

It is very usual to have one nostril dominant than the other. That is indicative of your mind temperament at that point. Doing Nadi shodhana (Alternative nostril breathing) will balance that.

[@descubreindia2667]

excellent video and subject very well explained. Will be waiting for the next. Can we take Pta

[@kondaiahswamyaddepalli9532]

madam hw to see all your videos, in youtube only 4 videos r appearing, plz inform

[@ashokashtekar4265]

Thanks a lot.... Very nice information.

[@chandrikakamath2707]

Thank you ma'am. So we breathe from nose, expand chest and automatically the belly is pushed out or do we need to force the belly out to deepen the inhalation? Or do we just focus on belly movement and the chest will expand and contract automatically? Please help me with clearing my confusion. Because of asthma my breathing is very erratic

[@sudarshankumar3475]

Thank u Madam

[@amahajan18]

👌🙏thank you so much Geethaji..

[@bikshapathijilla3004]

Mam thank you so much

[@sandyd9501]

Can you tell something for depression and anxiety

[@197sma]

Can you please make a video on reverse breathing or bone breathing? Is there anything like that ? Such breathing I am given to understand is much used in martial arts such as from Ancient Kerala-Kalaripayattu

[@theyogiclens9118]

As you say, reverse breathing is practiced in martial arts. As part of yogic practices, this technique is not practiced and I haven't heard from any of my Gurus. If you need to learn, please learn directly from a proper teacher.

[@ravigovindaraj1906]

Mam Excellent.... I saw your video for Bastriga pranayama. I have guicoma ( eye pressure ) problem. Can do Bastriga .... pls advice....

[@theyogiclens9118]

Please avoid Kapalabhati and Bhastrika if your eye pressure is high ( Glaucoma)

[@simba3806]

Madam,please do vedios on connecting chakras and human anatomy(nerves)..a lot of confusion is there

[@simba3806]

And I saw you speaking about different shareras inside the body ..please explain them in a vedio
