]]>In Through Your Nose, Out Through Your Mouth
This is pretty much the cornerstone of a good breathing technique. Before we move on to the next step, we first need to make sure that this part is covered. It is? Awesome.
Your Stomach Should Be Involved
It is said that when babies are born, they know how to breathe properly. They don’t just breathe with their noses and mouths—they do it with their entire body. It’s only when we grow up that we somehow unlearn this basic, primal fact.
Therefore, as you breathe through your nose, put a hand on your stomach and make sure you can feel it expanding. Afterward, when you breathe out through your mouth, focus on allowing your stomach to then relax and “deflate” back in.
The Right Way
This is the right way to breathe, not just when working out but throughout life in general. Even singers are taught this in music school as a proper way to control their syllables. Master this basic breathing technique, and feel more connected with your workouts than ever before!

]]>It’s important to understand how your breath affects your mood so that you can learn to better control your inner lives. Here are three ways breathing influences our mental states.
Shallow Breaths
Shallow breathing is linked to feelings of stress and anxiety. When you’re feeling very anxious and ill, if you take a moment to pay attention to your breath you will probably notice that you are taking very short and shallow breaths. This tells your body that you’re anxious or scared.
. Among the chaos, I built my resilience. I fought for my mental well being and started developing tools to help myself hack my own mental state. These tools have served me well over the years and helped me regain ground during other challenging periods in my life . Why am I telling you this? I am telling you this because I know how paralyzing anxiety can be. I know how challenging it can be to fight the fights alone. And I also know that rolling over and just giving in is not going to serve us. So I ask you this… WHAT IS YOUR PLAN OF ACTION for yourself? . If the feeling is getting heavier and bigger, when will you opt out of Netflix, and other bandaids, and decide to seek some intervention? My tools work. I have used them on people with trauma and they have gotten relief. My goal is to introduce a tunnel through that emotional block so you can achieve some relief. Come join me this Saturday at 11 am on ZOOM for a community gathering of Breathing Meditation. I am confident it will be of benefit

A good way to combat this is to take big, deep breaths right down into your belly. Deep breathing slows your breath down, prevents the shallow breaths, and makes your body release calm hormones instead of adrenaline.

A good way to aid the deep breathing is to breathe in to the count of four, hold to the count of four, and breath out to the count of four. This regulates your breathing and helps it stay regular. Soon enough, you’ll feel calm and relaxed.
⠀⠀ Mantra: “I Release, Purify, Cleanse & Grow through the Power of Breath.” 
⠀⠀ Full, free, deep breathing is one of the most accessible & easy to learn rituals to enhancing physical, emotional & spiritual wellbeing. ⠀⠀ Cleansing breath work is a powerful practice that can quickly & actively lead to a release of stress & emotional build up. ⠀⠀ Whenever we have an emotional release, it comes out in some way through the mouth. Whether it be crying, laughing or anger, the mouth & breath play a major role in the experience. ⠀⠀ The lungs are a major organ of elimination, & the most significant way that we alkalize our bodies is through our breathing. ⠀⠀ Focusing on clearing your lungs with a large yawn-like exhale will refresh & clear your body physically, emotionally & spiritually. ⠀⠀ Any where, any time, you can use this method to release tension & built up energy in the body. ⠀⠀ When stretching & opening the body with large deep breaths, you allow for areas of congestion to be discharged through the blood & lungs. ⠀⠀ ༄ Take some time to yourself (even if it’s just 1 minute) to slow down & become conscious of your breath. ⠀⠀ ༄ Inhale deeply & slowly through your nose. ⠀⠀ ༄ Then opening your mouth, release the breath, emptying out your lungs on the exhale through your mouth, encouraging the release of stagnant air, particulate, & carbon dioxide. ⠀⠀ ༄ Open your jaw wide & allow for a large volume of air to move through your trachea. ⠀⠀ ༄ You can also try adding a “Haaaaah” sound as a way to vibrate & increase the opening of your heart & clearing of stagnant energy. . ༄ Visualize any toxins, low energy or stress leaving your body through your exhaling of air. ⠀⠀ Doing this as a daily cleansing ritual or in times of stress will help to relax your body & introduces an act of conscience living to your day. ⠀⠀ Love & gratitude always, Tsari.

]]>Segmented Cat-Cow
This exercise is designed to increase the mobility and flexibility of your lower and upper back. When seated in your chair, gently push your stomach forward and extend your lower back gradually so that you curve your spine one vertebrae at a time. Bend your neck back and lift your chest so that you are looking at the ceiling. You should feel this gently stretching your back muscles.
/
) VARIATION Come to a seated position in the middle of your chair. Sit up nice and tall with your chin tucked just slightly encouraging the ears to come in line with the shoulders. When you are ready to begin, bring the arms into a cactus (
) shape. Elbows and shoulders should be in one line with the elbow bent at 90 degrees palms or fists facing forward. On your next EXHALE, round the upper back, dropping the chin to the chest, and drawing the arms forward to center (maybe forearms touch). [Cat pose] On the INHALE, open the arms out wide, bringing the shoulder blades to meet the spine, puff out the chest, and lift the gaze to look skyward. [Cow pose] Repeat this movement, flexing and extending the back while opening and closing the arms 5x following the cycles of the breath. Then return to a neutral spine and allow the arms to return to the side of the body. … #seatedcatcow #yoga #yogaposevariation #yogapose #athomeyoga #yogaatwork #heartopener #cactusarms #flexion #extension #catcow #yogavideo #instagramyoga #moveyourbody #yogaforeverybody #uplyftyoga #uplyftwellness #laughteristhebestmedicine #smile #thistooshallpassDiaphragm Breathing
Diaphragm breathing decreases muscle tension and relaxes your nervous system. Place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach. Feel your diaphragm expand and contract as you breathe in for four seconds, and out for four seconds. Repeat this five times and feel the nervous tension leave your body.

One of the areas that often become inflamed due to high tension is the wrists. They can make the whole body feel taut and uncomfortable. To release this tension, take your right forearm in your left hand. Then rotate your wrist first clockwise, then anticlockwise. After you have done this, repeat with your other wrist.

]]>3 Part Breathing
Breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth for around one minute. When you first start, imagine the breath filling up the base of your stomach. After a few breaths like this, visualize it expanding your chest. Once you have repeated this several times, begin to concentrate on the breath passing through your nose and throat. Repeating this process will leave you feeling energetic and refreshed.
Ocean Breathing
The next breathing exercise is ocean breathing. Take a deep breath similar to before, but this time close your throat a little so that your breath makes an ‘HAAAAA’ sound that resembles the ocean tide. Listen to your breath rolling on like the waves for around one minute.
Chanting
Chanting breathing is a great way to take control. Take a deep breath in through your nose and as you exhale pronounce the word ‘OMMM’. The unity of breath and sound here grounds you and makes you feel calm and relaxed.

]]>Deep Belly Breathing
This technique suggests you should breathe using your diaphragm, and not your chest like most of us often do. You can practice it by lying down and placing a hand on your stomach.
If you see can see your hand rising and falling as you inhale and exhale, it means you’re doing it right. Repeat this exercise before your runs, to remind yourself of how natural it feels.
Rhythmic Breathing
This technique suggests you should breathe in patterns as you take your strides. The most common variation of this exercise consists of inhaling for three steps and then exhaling for two.
The main goal of this technique is to start exhaling on the same foot strike every time, in order to avoid injury and make breathing more efficient. You can pick your own pattern based on your goal and after practicing it on a regular basis, it will come easily.

]]>How Do You Do It?
Firstly, lie down onto your back, and close your eyes, while relaxing your face and body. You can either bend your knees or keep your legs outstretched. It’s up to you, so choose the position which is the most comfortable.
Then, begin to breathe deeply. Inhale and exhale through your nose. When inhaling, it’s important to fill your belly up with your breath, while on each exhale, expel all the air out from the belly through your nose.
Repeat the process five times.
) He taught us to breathe through our stomach and to picture our breath as a circle where we inhale at the top and exhale at the bottom with no stops or pauses. I struggled to breathe through my ribs and to separate my breath into three parts. In the 2nd slide, I tried to do each step separately as suggested by @rawlifeofayogi Generous Sponsors: @omstarsofficial @plantule_pillows @shophalfmoon Guides & Sponsors: @nikitanevison @yogiescape #yoga #prana #pranayamaWhen you fill your belly with air, draw in a little more breath and let that air expand into the rib cage causing the ribs to widen apart. When exhaling, let go of the air from your ribs first, and then the rest of the air from your belly. Again, repeat the breaths five times.
For the third part, repeat the second part of the breathing exercise, letting in just a little more air to fill the upper chest, all the way to the collarbone. When exhaling, let go of the air from your chest, then from your ribs, and lastly, from your belly.
Repeat it for 10 breaths.
