If you are wondering what the Prana Breathing Exercise involves here is an overview of exactly how to perform the exercise so that you can get the most out of your other yoga breathing exercises.
Step One. Sit in a very straight upright position. This can be either on a chair or yoga mat, whichever is more comfortable for you.
Step Two. Take a deep inhaled breath. The breath should be taken in through the nose. While inhaling through your nose you will feel the lungs and ribcages expanding as far as they can go. It is important to try to inhale as much as you can as this will help your breathing exercises.
Step Three. While inhaling also try to raise your head and collarbone to the sky as this will allow you to open up your lungs and cleanse the body.
Step Four. You will also want to feel your abs or diaphragm working to push lower to the group. This is important to allow you to center your body and prepare for the next yoga breathing exercise. In many ways this is like helping to wipe a slate clean and start a whole new breathing segment.
Step Five. After you have inhaled as much air as you can try to hold it there for a few seconds and when you have properly held it you can slowly allow yourself to exhale the breath through your nose.
