What is Yoga Breathing?
Learning to breathe correctly through Yoga breathing or scientifically speaking ‘Pranayama’ helps with breath control. Properly used the respiratory system can exchange gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) ensuring an efficient energy system.

There are a number of exercises tailored to meet the needs of the body to maintain a healthy and vibrant life be it spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. Breathing can be looked upon as the inner source of life and by monitoring our breathing habits makes us more aware of the connections between mind, body and spirit. Our bodies go through a natural process inhaling oxygen which charges our body with the necessary energy. On exhaling the carbon dioxide takes away any toxins from within us thus removing harmful poisons.

Because of the many stresses facing us each day through work, money and family pressures we are not aware of our breathing patterns which at times of stress are shallow and short denying our lungs the oxygen which can often lead to many serious illnesses such as sleeping disorders and heart diseases, starving the body of its oxygen can also lead to fatigue when the body is restless, the mind is affected therefore negative thought patterns seep in and of course this has a knock on effect leading us back to stress and the inability to deal with it.

Why is it important to breathe correctly?

Practicing breathing exercises is one of the 5 main principles behind the art of yoga which was discovered in the early days by masters of yoga, they found that by practicing the art of breathing properly feeds the body with the right amount of oxygen to cleanse the mind and body of toxins, of course there are other more important reasons to breath, as stated earlier, breathing is vital for keeping the body functioning correctly, and for carrying toxins away. Oxygen is the provider of the vital nutrients without it the efficient functioning of the brain and body would not work, without it we will die within minutes.
