Yoga for Health

 

Inhale & Exhale Inhale & Exhale Inhale & Exhale

" Breath is the connection between the body and mind, making it a path to enlightement or union, the goal and the process of Yoga!"

When you start practicing Yoga the very first thing you need to learn is how to breathe. You learn how to concentrate and control your breath. Then an internal movement appears that massages the organs, keeps fluids circulating and balances the nerveous system.This is what makes your mind become alert and your body toned.

You might ask "Why is breathing so important?." The reason is that controlling the rhythm of the breath brings a lot of benefits such as:

• Improves heart function.
• Strenghtens muscles.
• Ventilates the lungs.
• Calms the nerves.
• Heats the body.
• Good for low blood pressure.
• Necessary for efficient gas exchange.

In my next post I will talk about the benefits of hot routine postures.
