Good morning and welcome to our practice.
This routine consists of several breathing exercises that are meant to extend the capacity of your lungs,
Energize your body and refresh your mind.
In yoga such a breath work is called Pranayama,
Which means control of prana or control of life force.
By doing these breathing exercises every day you can purify your energy channels so the vital energy can freely circulate in the body making it vibrant and healthy while keeping the mind calm and alert.
Before we begin our practice make sure that you are in a comfortable seated position with your spine straight.
You can bring your hands on your knees and let your eyes softly close.
We will start with a cycle of conscious breath by taking a deep inhale on the count of four and exhaling on the count of four.
