The Breath…Ahhh…
“The purpose of pranayama is to make the respiratory system functin at its best. This automatically improves the circulatory system, without which the processes of digestion and elimination would suffer. Toxins would accumulate, diseases spread through the body and ill-health becomes habitual” ~ B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Pranayama
Do you have tension in the neck, shoulders and lower back? Do you complain about headaches, poor sleeping habits, fatigue, stomach aches and high levels of stress ?
Maybe you do not breathe well. Part of a balanced yoga practice frees muscular restrictions which impede healthy breathing. I have some basic breathing practices on my Yoga Mind Cd and am available for private yoga classes to address your particular needs. There are also a few articles I have written online with practices you can check out.
