Breathing calms your body
Calming your body relaxes your mind
Relaxing your mind helps you think better
Feeling your Breath Exercise: Sit quietly and place your hands on your belly, directly above your belly button. Let the finger of both hands touch lightly. Exhale fully through your mouth. Breathe in deeply through your nose and into your belly, so that your fingers spread an inch apart. Let your belly fill with air. Hold your breath for two to five counts and then exhale slowly through your nose. Match the length of the inhale with the length of the exhale. Repeat few times and then take a big, deep inhalation and exhalation. Have you cleared away any of your worries? Bet you have!
Yoga Guidelines:
Do not eat for at least one hour before practice
Keep your feet bare to prevent slipping
To prevent injury, move slowly and concentrate as you go in and out of every pose
Keep practicing
Have fun!!
