It is derived from the Sanskrit word \u201cyuj\u201d which means to yoke, to unite, or to join. It is famous for the postures and poses that are incorporated in the practice.

Follow the poses in order and make sure to breathe properly as you do each pose. Here are the 5 breathing guidelines you can follow during your yoga practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inhale air during a movement or pose that opens the front body. These poses may include raising the head or arms, backbends, or forward stretches. Inhalation expands the chest and abdomen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exhale air when the movement or poses involves condensing the front body. These poses may include bending forward, bending sideways, or twists which restricts the chest and abdomen from expanding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not move when holding breath after breathing in. The holding of breath is one of the techniques in practicing yoga. Only hold the breath after inhaling while holding a pose. Holding the breath temporarily can help prolong the effect of the inhalation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only move when holding breath after breathing out. Only move from a pose after exhaling. This will also help prolong the effect of exhalation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The breath should be used as a <a href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/sadanta-pranayama\/\">guide to movements in the practice<\/a> of yoga. It should be done naturally and effortlessly, which will make breathing completely comfortable while doing different <a href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/yoga-poses-to-unblock-root-chakra\/\">yoga poses<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"breathing guidelines during yoga practice\" class=\"wp-image-2143\" title=\"breathing guidelines during yoga practice\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/breathing-guidelines-during-yoga-practice.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Practice-of-Pranayama\"><\/span><strong>The Practice of Pranayama<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/types-of-pranayama-breathing-techniques-for-wellness\/\">Pranayama is a breathing technique<\/a> used in yogic traditions. It is a formal practice of control breathing in yoga for the benefit of your\u00a0entire body. It came from the Sanskrit words \u201cPrana\u201d which refers to the vital energy or breath and \u201cAyama\u201d which means to expand or to control. This involves different breathing techniques and is beneficial to both the body and the mind. Doing proper breathing while practicing yoga allows the vital energy to be transported throughout the body through the channels called <em>Nadis<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Here are 5 of the most common Pranayamas:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Ujjayi-Pranayama\"><\/span><strong>1.

Breathing in a deliberate and intentional way is the essence of yoga. It allows the individual to access the subtle energy inside our body. Breathing correctly during a yoga practice allows the body to concentrate and become present. When breathing is done smoothly, it can be used as a rhythm for the movements and poses. Yogic breathing practices you may be able to enhance the size of your lungs and improve your respiratory endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not breathing properly during yoga has consequences and adverse effects. The airways can get tighter which will make it difficult for the air to flow in the body. This can also lead to the nervous system becoming imbalanced. Since breathing is an important part of our lives, it can positively or negatively affect our body. Incorrect breathing also prevents the body from transporting oxygen properly in our body which could affect the brain, heart, and muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yoga breathing techniques\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VaExzdCj3rk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoga is a mind and body practice.
