Comprehensive analysis of yoga breathing

We have always emphasized the importance of yoga breathing to friends who practice yoga, and have also written articles to introduce commonly used yoga breathing methods: chest breathing, abdominal breathing (dantian breathing), complete breathing, etc. So, what effect does yoga breathing bring to our body and mind? This article will uncover this mystery for you.

One of the functions of yoga breathing - massage the internal organs

Yoga breathing, especially abdominal breathing, can awaken every cell that constitutes the body and transfer the energy in oxygen to them, so yoga has the effect of delaying aging!

At the same time, yoga breathing can promote blood circulation, promote the decomposition of fatigue substances in the body as soon as possible, and pass on the Large up and down movements through the diaphragm, massage the internal organs, accelerate the excretion of waste accumulated in the body, and purify the internal environment from the inside to the outside.

Yoga breathing can also improve the function of the lungs, enhance the immunity of the respiratory system, and make the heart move regularly, add vitality to the brain, and cooperate with the yoga position method to achieve the purpose of "internal movement of the body".

The second function of Yoga breathing - controlling emotions

Our autonomic nerves do not move with the human will, but we can control the autonomic nerves by controlling the movement of "exhaling" and "inhaling", so there is the saying "If the breathing is messy, the heart will be messy".

The autonomic nerves of the human body are divided into two types - sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. When inhaling, the body is excited that the sympathetic nerves are acting. When exhaling, the sleeping parasympathetic nerves are acting. Therefore, we can adjust the balance between the sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves by changing the rhythm of exhalation and inhalation.

What happens when the sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves are unbalanced? When sad, breathing is short; when you are angry, breathing is violent... At this time, you can calm your heart through deep breathing, and negative emotions will naturally be transformed.
