What are the benefits of yogic breathing?

I believe that friends who have learned yoga know that breathing is very important when doing yoga. You also need to regulate your breathing before and after doing yoga. There are many yoga breathing methods, such as chest breathing, abdominal breathing, complete breathing, etc. So, how much benefit does yoga breathing bring to our body? Now let us reveal the answer to you, let’s take a look together.

One of the functions of yoga breathing method is to massage the internal organs

Yoga breathing techniques, especially abdominal breathing, can awaken every cell that makes up the body and transfer the energy in oxygen to them, keeping them active, so yoga has the effect of delaying aging!

At the same time, yoga breathing can promote blood circulation, promote the decomposition of fatigue substances in the body as soon as possible, and through the large up and down movement of the diaphragm, massage the internal organs, speed up the excretion of accumulated waste in the body, and purify the internal environment from the inside out.

Yoga breathing can also improve the function of the lungs, enhance the immunity of the respiratory system, make the heart move regularly, add vitality to the brain, and cooperate with yoga postures to achieve the purpose of "internal body movement".

The second function of yoga breathing method is to control emotions

Our autonomic nervous system moves independently of human will, but we can control the autonomic nervous system by controlling the movements of "exhaling" and "inhaling", so there is a saying that "if the breathing is disordered, the mind will be disordered."

The human body's autonomic nervous system is divided into two types - sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. When you inhale, the sympathetic nerves that make the body excited are at work, and when you exhale, the parasympathetic nerves that make the body dormant are at work. Therefore, we can adjust the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves by changing the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling.

What happens when the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are out of balance? When you are sad, your breathing becomes short; when you are angry, your breathing becomes intense... At this time, you can calm your mind by taking deep breaths, and the negative emotions will naturally be transformed.

Regular yoga practice is good for health and can prevent diseases. It is good for both body and mind. Practicing yoga can also control the desire for delicious food, help with weight loss, and improve endocrine disorders. Yoga breathing is very important and should not be ignored. People without experience should seek guidance and communication from professionals.
