[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For the most part - you should be breathing normally. [/b]Once you stop breathing to hold a pose it gets tiring. If you are breathing loudly then you are pushing yourself too hard. This isn't no-pain no-gain. This is do-it at your body's pace and the results will come. The guys that do it gracefully did it a for a long time. Its like trying to bench 300lbs because you saw everyone else do it on your first day. [/quote] Wow, no. That is not how breathing in yoga works. [/quote] It absolutely is.[/quote] You are practicing a seriously attenuated version of yoga if that is the case. [/quote] So there are different types of Yoga - one focuses just on breath, it has breath exercises and nothing else. If you want to hold your breath like a Navy Seal follow this one. Hatha Yoga which majority of studios practice uses breath as energy. Except for a few timed exhale/inhale on movement change everything should be normal breath. What type of breathing are you referring to? or style yoga are you practicing? [/quote] I have been practicing Iyengar yoga for almost 25 years. There is no holding the breath (except for brief periods in a practice that is focused on pranayama). The breath supports and informs postures, differently at different times. It is not “normal breath” in the sense of being similar to the breathing you do while reading a book or whatever.[/quote]
