Written by: ayammie

Yoga is usually connoted with health. One who practices yoga is said to be health conscious. With yoga, the mind and body can find relaxation, peace and tranquility. Its benefits include success in your profession, happiness and good health. One style of relaxing the mind and body in Yoga is through breathing.

For those who desire to live a long and healthy life, breathing 24 hours a day is extremely important. People who develop a good breathing is said to look better, get to finish more activity and have fun, and lives longer than others do. Breathing reduces physical and mental fatigue, chest pains, and the risk of heart attacks.

Benefits of Yoga and Respiration


Some Yoga traditions involving breathing exercises generate relaxation and calmness. Pranayama is performed by breathing in and out only through the nose. Breathing though the nose is beneficial than breathing through the mouth. Some Pranayama exercises are Nadi Sodhana or the Alternate Nostril Breathing, Sama Vrtti or Same or Equal Length Breathing, and Ujjayi or Victorious Breath.

Some helpful Pranayama are Uddiyana Bhanda which gives youthfulness to the whole body; Kapalabhati which stimulates every tissue of the body; and the Peacock posture which relieves indigestion and constipation.

To live a happy and longer life would be easier if Yoga is practiced. These breathing exercises will help relieve stress and other anxiety that people experience everyday.
