This week we will be talking about the breath. The breath or prana (life energy) plays an essential role in our lives. While we normally don't think much about our breathing and it happens automatically, in yoga, we learn to work with the breath in many ways. The practice of pranayama or controlling the breath (or life force) is vital because it helps us to live better and more harmoniously. It improves our healthy, our vitality, our creativity and our thinking. Although breathing is one of the simplest things we can do, we have often lost touch with our own breath so this week will be all about rediscovering our breath and the relationship we have to it.
Some of the benefits of better breathing are:
Reduced stress
Calm and quiet mind
Better connection to your inner self
Reduced anxiety
Improved focus
Reduced anger and irritability
More compassion
In your journal write down which of these
benefits you feel you would like to work on right now in your life. What would
be the most helpful to you?
