We all know that yoga is a way of fine-tuning our mind and body and improve the functioning of both, which result in improved concentration and improved body functioning. For this, there are many types of yoga such as Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, etc. out of which, one can choose any of them according to their capacity and requirement. Before you start doing any style of yoga, you start with breathing and concentration exercises to focus your mind and body before doing yoga poses. This combined set of breathing and focusing is called ‘Pranayama’ or ‘Pranayama Yoga’.
Just breathing naturally and noticing it precedes pranayama, and is a ‘must do’ step for all yoga practitioners. Breath is the only voluntary & involuntary function in the body that reveals the patterns of your subconscious mind, emotions and physical strength. One can transform these patterns and use them to heal self once he/she recognizes them.
Once you realize that you can influence the length, rhythm and sound of your breath, you will recognize the power of pranayama. Try this:
There is a resting state called ‘Kumbhaka’ that exists between inhalation and exhalation of breathing. Regular practicing of this method increases mental and physical strength, and places the emphasis on stillness- as long as there is no attempt of holding the breath forcibly and create more anxiety.
Here is how it can be done without causing more stress:
Bhramari means a ‘large bee’. You will want to reserve this calming pranayama when you have a few moments alone as this can be a bit loud loud/noisy.
You will achieve its greatest benefit when you create the most audible sound, because its vibrations send a soothing wave throughout your nervous system- creating a unison of mind and body.
‘Dirga’ or 3-Part Breathing is a technique which involves breathing sequentially:
Dirga is easiest for beginners as it can be practiced by lying down with a thick blanket or sandbag over your stomach, which rises during inhalation and falls during exhalation.
Lion’s Breath or Simhasana helps in strengthening muscles of throat and prepares it for more advanced pranayama practices.
Beginners usually feel a bit shy about making the Lion’s face, but this pose releases embarrassment & allows one to find his/her true voice, and helps in getting excess tension out of the chest.
This is how it can be done:
Congrats on completion of learning the process of Pranayama Yoga. Now you are ready to practice it.
