First, go back to the sensations in the body – feel its weight, strength, feel the touch to the floor and the breeze on the exposed areas of the skin. Then decide to come out of shavasana and stretch your whole body, like after a sweet dream. You can even yawn – it tones the respiratory system.

Proper breathing

You can not benefit from yoga unless you learn to breathe properly. Yogic breathing is called pranayama, and this is the most difficult part of practice. It requires concentration and rest, and sometimes it is better to do less asanas, giving more time to practice pranayama. In addition, you will not believe, but the practice of conscious breathing works with several groups of muscles, and it will perfectly puff up your press.

In everyday life we ​​do not control our breathing, and often it becomes intermittent, only the upper parts of the lungs are involved. The body is not saturated enough with oxygen, the cardiovascular system suffers. Uneven breathing also affects our nervous system.

The next time you are nervous, angry or just in a bad mood, stop and watch the breath. And then take a deep breath and adjust the breath, making it full, smooth, even.

If you have never done pranayama before, you will devote the first month to the preparatory exercises .

1. Place both hands on your stomach and breathe in air to fill the lower section of your lungs. The thorax should be immovable.
2. Place your hands on the ribs and fill the chest with air. The abdomen should remain motionless.
3. Put your hands above your chest, wrapped around your armpits. Fill only the uppermost part of the lungs with air.

When you learn to fully master all the departments of the lungs, go directly to the practice of pranayama.

• Sit in the pose of lotus or half-lotus. With a sharp movement, pull in the abdomen and strain the muscles of the press, thereby releasing some air from the nose.
• Inhaling, relax the stomach, drawing air into it. Then press the press again, simultaneously drawing in the belly and releasing the air from the nose.
• Do a few cycles of 60 breaths and breaths, and in between, watch the breath.
• After the completion of pranayama, always stay in the same position for a while, watching the breaths and exhalations. This stage is necessary for the lungs to return to their normal work, and your consciousness gradually returns from a state of complete concentration.

Do yoga at home, try to observe safety techniques. Best of all, if there is someone else besides you at home who you trust. The observer will be able to correct your posture and help in a difficult situation. Be careful and careful, do not try to immediately twist into a knot, like a real Indian brahmin!
