Thanks for tuning into Mike’s Yoga Podcast. Today, we’re going to focus on the breath - the rising action of the in-breath and and falling action of the out-breath. We’ll be doing A.M Virasana (the forward extension), AM Svanasasa (dog-down), uttanasana (standing forward bend), trikonasana (the triangle pose) and prasarita padottonasana (wide-legged pose).
When we focus on breath activity, it has a calming effect on the brain. Breath work can temporarily slow down your reactions, so be aware that your responses may be a little slower than usual for a short while after the session. So if you’re going to jump into a car and drive, for example, or have to operate machinery, give yourself fifteen minutes to aclimatise before you do.
You should be in good health - that doesn’t mean that you need to be flexible: that comes with time.
Consult your doctor before you practice if you have any health concerns.
If you have high or low blood pressure, breath work can be quite strenuous. If you feel dizzy, just practice the poses as we go through them with normal breath.
