A Yoga Minute with Seraphina Ashe
Did you know…
Most of us use only about 1/3 (or less) of our lungs during normal activity…
Yogic breathing exercises, or pranayama meaning “extension of the prana or breath,” encourage us to deepen our breath and to expand our lungs and fill them to capacity. Practicing pranayama techniques during yoga can help to oxygenate the entire body, including the brain. The benefits are not short-lived; as well as improving our respiratory health, the brain receives nourishing oxygen and we find ourselves operating more clearly; developing more concentration and focus throughout our day, not just when we are involved in our yoga practice. Being mindful of posture during yoga can also help improve lung capacity… (your lungs do not have room to expand when you slouch).
