Hatha Yoga Breathing for Specific Poses

Video Transcript

Now let me show you how to apply this breath while you are doing your yoga stretches and postures. Let?s just say I'm going to stretch my hand to my toe. You want to stretch one leg out, knee up toe in. Proper alignment. Meaning when we start, squeeze Abs in and up, and do shoulders up, back and down back. Ok, good. Now we focus. We focus on your yoga breath; breathing it up and down. And now, let me show you how to combine the breathing with your yoga postures and stretches. We want to center ourselves. Do our shoulders up, down, back. Focus on the breath. From your alignment, you want to reach your hand. See if you can touch your toe. If not, you can reach anywhere you would like. So as you reach and touch your toe, this arm is going to stretch way by your ear. Ok. Now we're going to stretch to the side. So we're going to bring the shoulder out and look up at those fingers. We?re going to relax this elbow. And while your moving, you are breathing that yoga breath. But it?s little and you don't hear it. Watch. Now what?s happening right now is I'm not forcing my body to move into any position. I'm allowing the breath to move my body wherever it needs to go. So here I am, breathing. And now that breath can get loud and deep.
