Are you overcome with a feeling of stress or anxiousness,
breathing deeply and fully is such an important and effective technique for
putting your mind at ease. The power that your very own inhales and exhales
hold can help quiet racing thoughts, and make you feel like a weight has been
lifted off of you.

| Yoga Techniques |
There are several basic and easy yoga techniques to reduce
stress thru breathing here are just a few.
1. EASY POSE (SUKHASANA)
Simply sitting in a comfortable seat might not seem like it
has that much to do with your breathing, but this pose is actually a great way
to start practicing deep breathing techniques.
2. SPHINX POSE (SALAMBA BHUJANGASANA)
Sphinx pose is an incredible chest-opener, which is a key
part of your body to work on when you're aiming to improve your breathing.
3. CAT – COW POSE (MARJARYASANA/BITILASANA)
Flowing through a cat-cow sequence won't just feel like a
luxurious and rejuvenating stretch for all of your muscles; it'll also allow
you to link each of your fluid and slow movements with each of your individual
breaths.
4. BOW POSE - (DHANURASANA)
Bow pose is another great, chest-opening movement that
really stretches out the front of your body, along with your throat and hip
flexors.
Believe it or not, according to the online fitness resource
STACK, your diaphragm and your hip flexors are indirectly connected
to one another through various muscles in the body. So, if your hip flexors are
tight, it can actually make deep breathing more difficult to do.
5. WILD THING - (CAMATKARASANA)
The playfulness of wild thing will take your mind off of any
worries that are clouding your head space, and the heart-opening movement here
will allow you to breathe as deeply as ever.
6. BRIDGE POSE (SETU BANDHA SARVANGASANA)
Along with the amazing physical benefits of opening your
back, chest, lungs, and shoulders, bridge pose also has the power to calm
your brain in an instant and in turn, relieve your stress, according to
Yoga Journal.
In all of these yoga poses it takes time to become familiar
with each movement. If you are doing this on your own understand it may take
time to perfect each pose. In Stillwater, Mn. Pure Yoga has the instructors
that can guide you thru these stages and help to achieve yoga mindness.
