3-minute Video of How to Breathe Properly While Doing Yoga

Breathing is a powerful way to balance your immune system and build stability and strength. Take three minutes to practice this powerful yoga breathing technique. Create a peaceful yet focused state of body and mind.

This practice starts by sitting in sukhasana (easy sitting pose) in either a chair or on the floor. With arms relaxed and eyes closed, progressively deepen your breath, feeling the energy move through your body.

Once you learn how to breathe—linking your awareness with the movement of your spine—during yoga practice, you can use this technique in any sequence or posture.
