FULL YOGIC BREATH

Introduction

The full yogic breath is a combination of 3 types of natural breath: abdominal, thoracic and clavicular breathing. In this way of breathing, lungs are solicited in their entirety, which generates an important supply of oxygen to the cells. It is necessary to be comfortable with the abdominal breath before practicing the full yogic breath.

Technique

1. Lying down on your back in relaxation pose.
2. Inhale. Inflate the abdomen, the chest, then the clavicular area.
3. Exhale. The abdomen and the chest slowly deflate.
4. Then practice in a sitting position.
