Hatha Yoga Breathing

As we all know, breath equals life and if you’re reading this now you are breathing! Breathing is something we do spontaneously, without thinking.

Hatha yoga breathing focuses on using exhalation to rid the lungs and body of stale residue and inhalation to fill the lungs with fresh oxygen. Hatha yoga breathing teaches you to be fully aware of the breath and to use it to relax tense muscles thereby eliminating stress and optimizing energy levels

Neo’s Yoga Retreats incorporate different styles of Hatha Yoga breathing giving detailed, safe instruction which can be easily absorbed to have long-lasting effects. One example of Hatha Yoga breathing combines and uses all three parts of your breathing apparatus: Abdomino-pelvic, Diaphragmatic-inter-costal and Sterno-clavicular. This yoga breathing technique maximizes lung capacity and can improve physical health and mental and emotional wellbeing.
