Yoga & the Breath
Our breath is key to our yoga practice – it informs the pace, focus and awareness of our selves. When we focus on our breath, our brains actually shift more awareness to our own physical body and thoughts. As a result, emotional stress and random thoughts are less likely to occur, giving our entire system a break.
Our structural alignment and the patterns in which we hold, perceive, and move the body are affected by the breath. Come build your breath awareness and with simple asanas and key pranayama (breathing) exercises in this 4 week series.
