“Dirgha” is a Sanskrit word, meaning ‘deep,’ ‘long,’ or ‘prolonged.’ This is a deep breathing exercise that aims to use the full capacity of the lungs through full, prolonged breaths. It strengthens the respiratory system as well as many of the body’s other systems. The mind-breath connection makes this a great, centering preparation for meditation or yoga. As deep breathing may be difficult for those with asthma and emphysema, consult a medical professional before beginning.
