Extended Inhalation (Extended breathing part 1)
Written by Administrator    Sunday, 26 April 2009 15:01    PDF Print E-mail

Extended Breathing Practice (part 1)"In this pranayama and breathing technique we will be learning how to control the rhythmical cycle of the breath, monitoring the quality of the breathing pattern. This technique is designed to heighten our awareness of the movement of the breath within the body, observing the nature of the activity of the lungs and the respiratory system.

"This is the first lessons of a three part series of how to expand the breath. The technique covered in this lesson is designed to help expand, deepen, and extend the length of the inhalation and exhalation. By expanding the breathing pattern we are preparing ourselves for the more advanced pranayama techniques in which extended breath as well as retention is needed. On a more rudimentary level, extended breathing techniques help to improve the capacity of the lungs while toning the lungs and the respiration system."
