Breathing: Essential to the Practice

Breathing is the key to good overall health, also referred to as the health triangle. Beyond the physical, mental and emotional aspects, the breath controls all the other systems in the body (digestive, immune, hormonal, cardiovascular and nervous) by making internal communication possible.

Breathing forms the basis of yoga therapy.

When people become aware of their breathing, they discover its power. Effective breathing allows for optimal communication between bodily systems, enabling people to respond and adapt to different situations in their lives.
