Transcript

This pranayama is belly breathing.

Please find a comfortable seat either on the floor or on a chair with your feet on the ground.

Your spine should be long and tall.

Place your hands just below your belly button onto your belly.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Now send your breath into the space under your hands.

As you inhale,

Feel your belly expanding.

And as you exhale,

Feel your belly contract.

Continue breathing into your belly,

Into the space under your hands.

Full inhale and full exhale.

Inhaling fully into your belly and exhaling.

Full belly breathing.

Now allow your breath to return to its natural state.

You don't need to focus on breathing anymore.

And when you're ready,

You can bring your attention back into your fingers and toes,

Your body,

And out into the world around you.

This completes the practice of pranayama belly breathing.
