Lowest Price of the Year Breathing Exercises from the EastIf you are not used to deep breathing you may feel dizzy or light headed from the change in oxygen levels. If you do feel dizzy or light headed at any time, stop and let your breath come back to normal. The Yogic BreathThis is a progressive exercise that starts with a shallow chest breath and then deepens. Sit in a chair with your feet apart on the ground and bring your neck, head and spine into one line. Place your hands on your chest and breath in through your nose and out through your nose, feeling your chest expand. Repeat this 3 times. Now place your hands on your belly and begin to inhale through your nostrils. As you do this let your belly expand filling the entire abdominal area with your breath. Exhale and through your nose and press in slightly with your hands. Repeat this 3 times Next place your left palm on your chest and your right palm on your belly. As you inhale through your nose let your belly expand and then bring your breath up into your chest, feeling your ribs expand. Exhale through your nose, release your breath first from the chest and then your stomach. Repeat 5 times. Now close your eyes, rest your hands on your lap and repeat this breath ten times. To make this breath even more effective make the exhalation slower than the inhalation. This breath is quieting, calming and will leave you feeling more relaxed.
