The Breath and 3 Tips on How You Use It!

Do you feel like you can't breathe when you are stressed out?

When you are working out are you scared that you'll never be able to catch your breath?  I've had these feelings before.

Feelings like I can't breathe and I'll never feel "normal" again.

That is why I am so grateful to what yoga has taught me.  The power of the breath.  Learning how to properly breathe can save your life.

Follow these 3 tips

to bring positive energy into your nervous system:

1. Remove yourself from your surroundings. Just walk away.  Go into a bathroom stall, sit down, close your eyes/look at something that isn't moving and begin inhaling for 4 beats, hold for 2 and exhale for 4 beats.

2. When you exhale, imagine your belly button drawing in towards your lower spine.  This is a sure way to make you you've fully exhaled.  A full exhale will get rid of toxins and negative thoughts.  Don't cheat yourself of a full breath.

3. Breathe with intention.  Bring full focus to your breath and let it guide you.
