How to practice yoga pranayama

Today's fast-paced lifestyle makes us feel physically and mentally exhausted every day, and we rarely have time to relax ourselves. This will make people live a particularly depressed life. What's more important is the lack of exercise, which makes our bodies worse and worse. Therefore, it is best to take some time to exercise. For female friends, the best exercise method is yoga. However, there are many kinds of yoga exercise methods, and the most common one is yoga breathing technique.

Then relax your shoulders and straighten your neck. Use the top of the head, which is the middle of the line connecting the tops of the two ears, as the reference point for adjusting your posture. Imagine that there is a line pulling upwards from that point, and use that line to adjust the midline of the body. Then use the point directly above the head, which is the midpoint of the line connecting the tops of the two ears, to hang a line and pull it upwards. The key point is: use the head to support the neck and shoulders, not use the neck and shoulders to support the head.

The head is empty, the neck is empty, the shoulders are loose, walking, standing, and sitting are all like this. Use the midpoint of the line connecting the two ears as the reference point for adjusting the body posture. The head is hollow, the neck is hollow, the neck is relaxed, the shoulders are relaxed, and you meditate using your skeleton, not your muscles. The so-called meditation without muscles means that we try not to use muscle strength, and try to let the body's center of gravity form a triangular point.

When adjusting the body, the main emphasis is on these two key points. The first is "use the head to support the neck and shoulders", not using the neck or spine to support the head. When we meditate, our heads are pointing to the sky, which is simply called "standing upright". It's not just like this when sitting, but also when standing. The second key point is to use the skeleton to balance the body's posture and try not to use muscles. The skeleton is used for balance, not for support. It feels like the muscles are not being used at all. This applies to sitting, standing, and walking.

Next, let's talk about regulating breathing. Once you sit down, take a few deep breaths easily, and then relax. Let your mind follow your breathing. Be aware of exhaling when you exhale, and be aware of inhaling when you inhale. During the entire exhalation process, your only thought is about exhaling. During the entire inhalation process, your only thought is about inhaling. If breathing is a horse, then thoughts are the rider. When thoughts and breathing become one, the horse and the rider become one. Let thoughts follow breathing.

This kind of yoga breathing technique is only for beginners. This is because yoga itself requires the use of our body muscles. If the muscles are too stiff, our muscles will be strained. In addition, you need to adjust your breathing when doing yoga. Only in this way can you achieve a certain health effect. Then yoga breathing technique teaches us to take deep breaths and understand the importance of breathing.
