Mar 12, 2021 08:00AM ● By Nina IndigoYoga Instructor Allison Donley started a yoga program to relieve her colleagues' tension from sitting all day. Since the pandemic began, she has now been online and independently conducting virtual sessions. I went to her 12:00pm Saturday session and can say firsthand that it is effective.
Master the Breathing Technique for Stronger Results from Your Yoga Session
Select a Yoga Pose that Easily Blends with the Breathing Technique
Once you have reached a steady flow breathing technique, incorporate it into the poses. The key is to keep a strong position and have your spine aligned in a way that keeps your body in all directions. It allows you to breathe better too. A great extension pose to use is the bridge pose. To do it, extend both arms and palms on the yoga mat flat, and then press your feet and arms into your yoga mat. Then, exhale and lift your hips from the floor toward the ceiling. Next, bring your tailbone toward your pubic bone, and lift your buttocks off the mat. At this time, your body should be in the shape of a bridge. While holding bridge position, practice inhaling breaths. Another option for a basic pose is the locust extension which allows for the opening of the chest. You lie on your belly, arms alongside your torso, palms up, head resting on your mat, turn your toes inward, and gently rotate your thighs upward from the mat to firm your buttocks. Then lift your head, torso, arms, and legs from your yoga mat. During the middle of your session, you should feel a state of consciousness, indicating you have reached a state of awareness. Do not focus hard on the form of your posture. Yoga poses are about maintaining balance and being consistent in your breathing. This way, it teaches you to control your breathing into more expansive breaths, while you fade into tranquility.
Time to End Your Alluring, Empathetic Vinyasa Yoga Session
“Vinyasa means to place in a special way. Using your body and breathing to stay fit it’s an ancient system of self-care that helps you to calm the fluctuations of the mind,” she said.
