Hi all. Yoga is a great way to improve the body. As for me, this is an ideal option to put in order not only the body, but also the soul. Such activities help to calm down, collect positive energy inside. But this is possible only on the condition that you breathe freely, easily and smoothly during the asanas.

In practice, it turned out to be quite difficult and it was necessary to conduct a whole “investigation” on this issue. So, good friends, I will tell you that there is yoga, how to breathe correctly, so that it has the maximum benefit.

In yoga, there is such a thing as pranayama. This is one of the ways to control vital energy through breathing practices. This can only be learned through constant practice. One of the ancient Indian yoga treatises says: “When a person’s breathing is uneven, wrong, his consciousness is unstable.”

Every yoga session in which you breathe correctly helps you to effectively remove toxins from the body and saturates it with oxygen-rich air. With each breath of the “right” air, you fill your body with health and energy, exerting a positive influence on it.

Proper breathing during yoga will help you:

  • Increase lung capacity
  • Strengthen immunity
  • calm down
  • improve concentration
  • Refresh body and mind

This breathing practice will help you prevent diseases. gastrointestinal tract, cystitis, solve the problem of constipation. In addition, in this way you can "eliminate" pain in the chest area.

Don't believe? Then, at least with one eye, look at the article “How to get rid of pain in the thoracic spine with the help of yoga?”. I am sure that the arguments given there will be able to convince you.

Types of breathing

During classes, you must try to breathe through the nostrils. Breathing through the mouth is given to us only for emergency situations. Breathing is of three types.

  • People whose lifestyle is very sedentary use the "upper" look. In this case, a person uses only a small part of the lungs from above. When inhaling, the shoulders and collarbone rise up, and when exhaling, they return to their original state. This breathing is also called clavicular.
  • People whose lifestyle is more mobile use the middle type of breathing. In this case, the middle region of the lungs is involved and with each inhalation, the human ribs expand, and when exhaled, they narrow back.
  • People who are under severe stress breathe with their stomachs, while the diaphragm, which separates the chest and abdominal region, tenses up and protrudes the stomach. This type of breathing is called lower.
  • Yogis, on the other hand, use all three types, while they take only the best from each and use the entire respiratory system. With such breathing, your body will be filled with strength and health.

Preparing for classes

Before you start exercising, you need to prepare well. First, decide on a location. It should be quiet and calm with good ventilation so that you can fully concentrate on your body.


If the weather allows, then the most suitable area would be a flat clearing in the shade and a quiet secluded place. Your clothes during yoga should in no case constrain you, the skin must breathe and receive oxygen.

Yoga masters practice in loincloths. At the same time, nude training is not recommended. For complete harmony with yourself, it is not recommended to practice yoga with a full stomach, be sure to free your body from all excess. During classes, nothing should distract and embarrass you.

Take a warm shower before you go. After the end of the session, it is not recommended to eat for twenty minutes. Yoga classes are also very beneficial for weight loss. Even such "static" exercises will help you tone your body, develop flexibility and lose weight.

Principles of Breathing for Beginners

Meditation at the very beginning of classes is achieved only with proper breathing. To achieve this, you need to calmly and slowly perform each exercise. To begin, sit down, relax all parts of your body, breathe only through your nose. This will help you feel how your body and mind calm down, your breathing becomes measured, your heart beats evenly.

Your breaths should be deep, even and calm. Pause between each inhalation and exhalation. If you will do these simple exercises at least in the morning and in the evening, it will help you prepare the body for more difficult exercises.

If something was not clear to you, you can watch a video on proper breathing while performing asanas.

By the way, if you want to quickly restore vital energy and improve your health, I can advise you a very good remedy. Do not forget to share the article with your friends and subscribe to my blog. Be beautiful.

Human energy is the concentration of life force (prana), which he can draw from food, water and air. Prana reveals itself in all metabolic processes of the body, manifests itself in the thoughts and emotions of a person. At the same time, the world around is its main “supplier”, breathing yoga for beginners will help optimize the flow of prana.

How to get the maximum amount of vital energy from the surrounding space? You need to learn how to breathe correctly. At more people on earth do not have this skill. People are quick to grab air, like fish thrown ashore, while inhaling intermittently and not holding back the flow. But it is precisely these delays that make it possible to saturate the cells with carbon dioxide, which dominates in maintaining the vital activity of the body and accumulate it.

When a person breathes incorrectly, he loses carbon dioxide. This process is trying to prevent the body, including all its reserves. As a result, in addition to diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, there is a general overstrain of all organs. Here is such a paradox, the more often a person breathes, the less oxygen his body receives.

Path to health and harmony

Breathing yoga for beginners will help you learn how to breathe correctly. And also such exercises are called pranayama. They need to be practiced daily at least twice a day.(preferably at the same time), trying not to miss training.

Ashtanga yoga will require strength and endurance from its adherents.

Iyengar Yoga- This direction of yoga is named after its founder, who created a whole health complex designed for students of any age and level of training. It was Iyengar yoga that first allowed the use of auxiliary devices (rollers, belts) in the classroom, which made it easier for beginners to perform many asanas.

It is also better to exclude heavy and unhealthy foods, alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, try to minimize medication and stressful situations.

Yoga for breath development

Pranayama should be studied gradually, moving from simple exercises to more complex ones.

At the first stage, it is necessary to master the technique of pranayama to stabilize the nervous system. It will help restore peace of mind relieve headaches, relieve stress and panic attacks. For beginners, the practice should take place at least 2 times a day for five cycles. while sitting on a mat or chair and keeping your back straight. One loop goes like this:

  • slowly inhale deeply through the left nostril while covering the right with your thumb right hand;
  • close the left nostril index finger right hand, then open the right and calmly release the air through it;
  • also slowly inhale through the right nostril, close it again with your thumb, open the left and exhale smoothly.

The phases of inhalation and exhalation should be approximately the same. Practicing this yoga exercise for beginners takes from one to three months.
Next, you can move on to the diaphragm breathing technique. This pranayama exercise will saturate the body with oxygen, stabilize the pulse and breathing. To begin, lie on your back, placing your left palm on your chest, and your right palm approximately in the abdominal area. On a deep breath, feel with your right palm the expansion of the lower chest (a slight rise in the abdomen), while exhaling - its contraction. The chest should remain motionless. Master this breathing technique as soon as you wake up in the morning and before going to bed. After practicing, complicate the exercise - place a weighting agent (for example, a book) on your stomach. You can consider yourself mastering the diaphragmatic technique after it enters your daily life, and you begin to breathe this way constantly, without thinking or controlling yourself.

Basic breathing techniques in yoga

  1. Full breath in yoga. The most important exercise that fully engages Breathe-helping machine and chest muscles, releases the diaphragm, saturates all cells of the body with carbon dioxide, rejuvenates and tones it, helps get rid of tachycardia.
    In any position, standing, sitting, lying down, exhale the air as completely as possible, then slowly inhale through the nose. Inhalation technique: the stomach protrudes a little, the ribs move apart, the shoulders rise (the air fills all parts of the lungs gradually - from the lower to the upper). Inhalation should take about eight beats of the pulse. Then hold your breath for four heartbeats and exhale slowly through your nose. Exhale in the same order - the stomach is drawn in, the ribs are compressed, the shoulders are lowered. In time, it should be equal to the breath (or a little longer).
    During the session, this exercise is performed up to five times, after about ten days you can add one cycle, bringing their total number to ten. If it is difficult to perform all the phases of a full cycle at once, then practice them separately. First learn to inhale fully, then hold the inhalation, and finally combine them with full exhalation.
  2. Cleansing breath. The optimal rhythm for performing yoga asanas. It is better to finish a pranayama session with such an exercise: it will cleanse the lungs, relieve fatigue and give vigor.
    Stand up straight, join your palms perpendicular to the body, slightly pressing your wrists on your stomach. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold your breath, then purse your lips as if you were whistling, and exhale rhythmically in small portions until it is completely out. Be careful not to puff out your cheeks.
  3. Breath "ha". Improves oxygen circulation in the body, allows you to calm down and remove feelings of panic and despondency, move away from negative emotions. Stand up straight, relax your arms and, with a calm breath, gently raise them up with your palms forward. After a pause, lean forward sharply, lowering your arms, while exhaling through your mouth, saying “ha”. The sound is not pronounced with a voice, it is formed by the exhaled air. Stay in this position for a short time - negative energy will flow through your hands into the ground. As you inhale, straighten up, exhale and repeat the exercise.
    In the future, you can improve your progress and study other breathing techniques (clarification of thought, voice development, bellows, etc.).

People don't think when they breathe, but it's worth thinking about! After constant yoga practice, proper breathing will become automatic, and will give a surge of strength, health and a positive attitude towards the world.

We breathe deeply when we feel good. We feel stiffness in the solar plexus in moments of pain, anger or fear. And we hold our breath in the most significant moments of our lives. Emotional state certainly affects how we breathe. At the same time, the East has known the opposite for several thousand years: breathing in yoga is a powerful tool for controlling the psyche, capable of not only regulating emotions, but also opening up qualitatively new levels of perception to us.

Principles of proper breathing in yoga for beginners:


  1. Let's use the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. When inhaling, it lowers, it expands the volume of the lungs, and with exhalation, it returns to its original position. For most people, chest breathing is habitual, in which the diaphragm moves slightly, and air fills mainly the upper part of the lungs. Such breathing cannot provide the body with oxygen to the full extent and over time leads to malfunctions in its work.

    Such breathing is natural for a person: it is easy to see that this is how children breathe. However, due to stress, eternal running around and not the right way of life, our stomach becomes more and more tense, breathing becomes more and more superficial. A society where a flat stomach is considered aesthetic is also playing its role in this.

    Not everyone gets diaphragmatic breathing the first time. This is where a simple exercise can help. Lying on your back, bend your knees and place one hand on your stomach, the other on your chest. Breathe so that the hand on the chest remains motionless, and the hand on the stomach rises with an inhale and falls with an exhale. Only after you have mastered the correct breathing in yoga for beginners, you can move on to full yogic breathing - successively filling the lower, middle and upper sections of the lungs.

    Relaxing the stomach and diaphragm, we get the opportunity to gradually get rid of the tension accumulated in this zone and more effectively respond to new stresses. The great yogi B.K.S. Iyengar in his book "Discourses on Yoga" writes: "If the diaphragm is straightened, it can withstand any load."

  2. We breathe slowly and deeply."Pranayama" in Sanskrit literally means "management of prana" or "expansion of prana". Prana is the vital energy that we receive from various sources, including through breathing. The better and fuller we breathe, the more energy we accumulate in the body.

    Proper breathing during yoga is slow and deep breathing. It allows not only to relax the body, but also contributes to the maximum set of energy.

  3. We keep the rhythm. The transition from one asana to another is accompanied by a certain rhythm of breathing. The main rule: upward movements (raise your arms, straighten your spine, bend over) are made on inspiration, and downward movements (lean over, round your back) - on exhalation. Dynamic complexes are especially subordinated to the rhythm, for example, “Salutation to the Sun”.

    But even when performing static asanas, breathing in yoga should not stop. Each exhalation is worth using to relax a little more and go deeper into the position.

ENJOY YOGA

Start lesson. Sometimes we involuntarily tense up and hold our breath. Yoga instructor and AnySports.tv expert Vasily Kondratkov recommends to beginner students: “It is necessary to track such delays, start the correct breathing in yoga again and again. The reason for the delay may be too high a load. In this case, it is worth reducing it, that is, simplifying the asana. No difficult posture will do you any good if you can't breathe deeply in it."

Breathing as a tool of awareness. Proper breathing during yoga not only allows you to get desired effect from performing asanas, but also introduces you into a special meditative state. In classical sources, breathing is described as a "bridge from the physical to the spiritual", a way to go beyond the usual boundaries of perception. Concentrating on inhalation and exhalation, we are aware of what is happening here and now, we are fully present in our own body. This is what meditation is.

You can control your attention with the help of breathing and more pointwise. Taking an unusual position for the body, sometimes we experience tension and even pain. Of course, severe pain should not be endured, but some discomfort is still inevitable when our body is still not flexible enough. In such cases, cryptic words can be heard from yoga teachers: "Breathe into your pain." What does it mean? The best way relax tight areas of the body, such as opening the pelvis or stretching the hamstrings - imagine that in this place your body is “inhaling” and “exhaling”. You will notice that after a few breaths, the tension will begin to subside.

By practicing conscious breathing in yoga, you can gradually get rid of the old blocks and clamps that fetter our body and impede the movement of energy, causing poor health and emotional imbalance.

Proper breathing in Everyday life. Practicing proper breathing when doing yoga is not limited to the mat. The habit of constant diaphragmatic breathing will help maintain health and more effectively overcome stress. Start small: breathe with your “belly” for a few minutes when you are worried. You will see - peace will return much faster!

"Breath is life,
and if you breathe right,
you will live long on earth.”
Ramacharaka, The Science of Breathing

We breathe deeply when we feel good. We feel stiffness in the solar plexus in moments of pain, anger or fear. And we hold our breath in the most significant moments of our lives. Emotional state certainly affects how we breathe. At the same time, the East has known the opposite for several thousand years: breathing in yoga is a powerful tool for controlling the psyche, capable of not only regulating emotions, but also opening up qualitatively new levels of perception to us.

Proper control of breathing is taught by a special section of yoga - pranayama. However, before a serious study of pranayama, for those who are just starting to dive into practice, it is important to master the basic principles of proper breathing in yoga for beginners: without this foundation, all our efforts in the classroom will not bring the proper result.

1. Use the aperture

The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. When inhaling, it lowers, it expands the volume of the lungs, and with exhalation, it returns to its original position. For most people, chest breathing is habitual, in which the diaphragm moves slightly, and air fills mainly the upper part of the lungs. Such breathing cannot provide the body with oxygen to the full extent and over time leads to malfunctions in its work.

In yoga classes for beginners, we learn to “breathe with the stomach”: when inhaling, we inflate the stomach, leaving the chest motionless, with an exhalation we draw it in again. Thus, we provide a more amplitude movement of the diaphragm and expand the working area of ​​​​the lungs, allowing air to penetrate into their lower sections.

Beauty and Health Yoga

Hatha yoga exercises include three main elements: asanas, mind control and breath control. None of these elements can be excluded from the system, because in this case it will be much less effective or even completely ineffective.

The energy that exists in the Universe, as well as any force acting in it, has a special internal cause - prana.

Prana, which means cosmic energy, exists in the air. In the human body, prana, passing through the nerve centers, is transformed into vital force. Yoga teaches us to breathe in such a way as to accumulate a sufficient amount of prana in the nerve centers, then, if necessary, we can use it. In order to accumulate energy, we need proper breathing, that is, we need to breathe with mental concentration, directing the energy received to the nerve centers. The conscious habit of controlling prana through concentration and regulation of the breath is called Pranayama. Breathing exercises have a special place in yoga classes, but first you need to learn just proper breathing.

Yoga and proper breathing

Firstly, yoga teaches us to breathe only through the nose - breathing through the mouth is considered only as a precaution of nature in case of nasal congestion.

Secondly, yoga says that many people now breathe incorrectly. There are three types of breathing: upper (clavicular), middle (intercostal) and lower (diaphragmatic). In a person with upper breathing, the shoulders, collarbones and ribs rise when inhaling, and when exhaling, they fall, while only a small upper part of the lungs is used. As a result, a person spends a lot of energy, getting a minimum of results. This type of breathing is usually characteristic of people who have a sedentary, sedentary job and who lead an unhealthy lifestyle. A person with this type of breathing is more prone to constipation, cystitis, diseases of the digestive tract.

With an average breath, the air fills the middle part of the lungs, that is, when you inhale, the ribs diverge, and when you exhale, they fall. Most non-sedentary people breathe this way.

In the third type, the diaphragm is a muscular septum that separates the chest and abdomen (at rest, it is dome-shaped and extended upwards into the chest cavity), tenses and tightens when inhaling, protruding the abdomen outward and shifting the abdominal organs down, and returns to its original position when exhaling . At the same time, the middle and lower parts of the lungs are filled with air. Usually healthy and strong men, athletes, soldiers, people living in the mountains breathe like this.

Yogis use the synthesis of these three types of breath, which is called the full breath of yogis. At the same time, from each type they take only a positive, correct start, leaving the shortcomings outside their attention. The full breathing of yogis activates the entire respiratory system of a person, forcing to work and filling every cell with strength.

The fact is that with full breathing of yogis, the chest cavity expands to its normal, natural volume, while the capacity of the lungs is increased by the active use of the intercostal muscles. The diaphragm begins to function correctly, thereby having a beneficial effect on the body, thanks to a light massage of the chest and pelvic organs.

To develop proper breathing, there is special exercise. It should be started carefully, avoiding overvoltage.

Breathing exercises for yoga

Starting position - standing in a free and natural position.
- make a sharp exhalation;
- start inhalation, consisting of three phases:
1) the stomach slowly protrudes forward - the diaphragm moves (at first it is useful to put the palms of the hands on the stomach to follow its movement). The expansion of the abdomen causes air to enter the lower part of the lungs;
2) expand the middle part of the chest and ribs. Thus, the air is gradually sent to the middle of the lungs;
3) expand the chest to the limit. Thanks to this movement, we take in the maximum amount of air that our lungs can hold;
- after that we begin a slow exhalation through the nose. Important: we exhale in exactly the same sequence as we inhale - first the lower ribs are compressed and the front wall of the abdomen is drawn in, then the chest is lowered and then the shoulders and collarbones. To keep as little air as possible inside, we compress the abdominal and intercostal muscles. This should be done slowly and carefully, avoiding sudden movements.

When performing this exercise, you need to make sure that inhalation and exhalation are smooth - each movement should pass into the next without interruptions and delays.

If we looked at ourselves at this moment from the side, we would see that the full breath of the yogis looks like a single wave-like movement from the collarbones down and from the stomach up.

It is imperative to master this exercise, since it is the basis for yoga breathing exercises, in addition, breathing must be correct during asanas.

15 Tips for Proper Breathing: Learning the Pranayama Technique

Yoga cannot be called a technique - it is an image of perception, an attitude to the world around, a way of uniting with one's own body. We will still have time to analyze various areas of Indian culture and get acquainted with their advantages.

However, today, our goal is to learn the basics of "Pranayama" - breath control.

“Prana” is the life energy of a person, therefore the main purpose of such a technique in yoga is to concentrate our forces in the right “channel”.

Here are the fundamental rules of breathing technique for beginners:

  1. Before class, be sure to "empty" the bladder and intestines - the body must be completely cleansed.
  2. Choose a quiet, peaceful place to exercise where you can relax and focus on your own breathing.
  3. You can start the lesson no earlier than 3-3.5 hours after eating.
  4. Perform a thorough stretching of all the muscles of your body in advance, disperse the blood through the veins, feel a surge of energy.
  5. Opt for a well-ventilated area, however, watch out for drafts - they are not "helpers" of the upcoming process.
  6. During breathing exercises, use only your nose.
  7. Leave your feet bare, wear loose, breathable clothes - the body should be "free from fabric shackles."
  8. Watch your breathing, it should be measured, calm.
  9. Relax. No need to strain the muscles of the face or the press - you are involuntarily distracted by such processes.
  10. Rest should not be neglected, friends. Stop exercising, go outside for fresh air.
  11. Excessive zeal can lead to disruption of the respiratory tract, so remember that the technique involves muscle relaxation, a comfortable pastime in a cozy, peaceful environment.
  12. During the day, you can do yoga several times, however, the number of cycles in one session should not exceed 10.
  13. Control all life processes in your body, keep calm, do not go into your own thoughts, focus only on breathing.
  14. Yoga is recommended early in the morning or late in the evening.
  15. Each session should last at least 20-25 minutes.

It is inexplicable, but true: “With age, people “forget” how to breathe - only the upper region of the lungs takes part in the vital process, blocking the organs of the energy flow.”

Benefits of the breathing technique

Why are thousands of people doing yoga, paying special attention to breathing techniques? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this technique?

It is important to understand: What will such a procedure give us? The answer to a simple question will become the "foundation" of our motivation, giving strength and energy in difficult moments of life.

The sequence of actions during the breathing procedure and options for performing the Pranayama technique

In yoga, there are several variations of breathing techniques, but all of them are based on the basic ability to control your body, to concentrate on one process. The classification of yoga breathing techniques suggests the following varieties of "Pranayama":

  • to cleanse the nervous system;
  • diaphragmatic;
  • full breath;
  • cleansing;
  • rhythmic.

Regardless of the category you choose, friends, we will definitely follow a number of basic rules that help to join the Indian culture. The principle of operation or consistent basis of any yoga breathing technique:

  • Take a comfortable position - lie down or sit.
  • Slowly draw in the stomach, displacing all the accumulated air from the bottom of the lungs - now you can calmly relax the abdominal muscles.
  • We deeply draw in the air with our nostrils, enjoying the scale of the breath, but we are not “greedy”, remember the 15 recommendations of yogis.
  • We feel how the lower part of the lungs is slowly filled first, raising the stomach, and then the upper region, “inflating” the chest.
  • The final stage of inhalation is a place in the region of the collarbone. This is where the cycle ends, which began from the lower abdomen.
  • Having filled the lungs with air, we hold our breath for a while (10-15 seconds).
  • Now we carry out a slow exhalation, observing the reverse order of the organs in this process (the air leaves the collarbone area, then the chest, then from the lower abdomen).
  • Pull in your stomach, friends - so we will understand that all the air has come out.
  • We start the procedure again.

I have presented to your attention the basic breathing sequence, which is considered in yoga the basis for all subsequent techniques. To make it easier for you to visualize the described process, you can also watch the video from Lyudmila Kopievskaya.

Do not forget about motivation: “Practicing the Pranayama technique is necessary consciously, with desire - a responsible approach to yoga and full concentration on your breathing will help normalize many life processes in our bodies, restoring muscle tone and good spirits to their owners.”

Breathing accompanies us even in sleep, when we do not control it. From this article, you will learn the techniques for managing it, available to everyone.

Breathing practice - from yoga through life

Practice breathing exercises every day, how to collect a necklace, where pearls are asanas, which are strung on a thread of yogic breathing.

So, conscious breathing both in asanas and in life is when you track and remember in every possible way, now I will make it deep and even, and now I will sit in silence and start gaining energy slowly and thoughtfully. More on this in this

Stage next - complication

We develop the skills of full therapeutic deep breathing:

First you need to take a natural posture, stretch out and make a sharp exhalation, then during a comprehensive breath we focus on three successive phases:

Now we begin the recovery exhalation. In the same sequence as inhalation

  • the lower ribs slowly settle, the anterior region of the abdomen is retracted;
  • the chest descends and then the shoulders and collarbones.

By all means, after exhalation, you should get the impression that you have pushed out all the air and there is almost none left, this will be facilitated by careful contraction of the abdominal and intercostal muscles in the last phase of exhalation.

You will surely feel the warming and cleansing effect of pranayama. These effects are discussed in more detail in this

In the course of execution, be careful - the movements smoothly pass one into another without interruptions and delays until completion. Glide through the body with the air, avoiding sudden movements!

You need to master this exercise - this is the basis of yoga breathing exercises. And be sure to follow this while performing asanas!

Look at your body from the front while doing this pranayama. The technique of full breathing of yogis is very reminiscent of an all-round rhythmic single wave-like movement. From the abdomen up and down from the collarbones. Also in the practice of pranayama there is alternating breathing with different nostrils. It is worth starting these practices after you learn how to control your inhalation, exhalation and delays. To find out your abilities, you can take a simple breath control test. You can take the test by this link

You will achieve a certain degree of perfection by remembering and tracking the rhythm and correctness of breathing while performing really difficult poses and during the transmission of ordinary, life situations!
