PROPER BREATHING
is necessary when practicing YOAG™ YOGA. The poses
are done in unison with the breath by relaxing into
the pose on the exhalation. It allows tense muscles
to soften and to stretch more easily. Focusing on the
breath within the poses prevents injuries and ensures
maximum benefits. The yoga breath is a long, deep and
full inhale/exhale cycle in a smooth, slow and relaxed
manner, breathing in your belly first, then in your
chest. You may remain in the pose for 2 to 5 yoga breaths
and slowly increase the duration.
The following body
movements are suggested to be done between the poses
and before starting YOAG™ YOGA:
- Move arms up and
down several times
- Roll shoulders and
joints
- Place hands on waist
and move the hips in a circular motion in both directions.
- Allow the body to
become soft and loose
