E35. Inhale Less, Exhale More

In this episode of The Decoding Yoga, Eli continues her discussion with Inga about the topic of breath in yoga. They discuss the misconception that big, heavy breathing is healthy, when in reality it can be correlated with health issues such as asthma, heart disease, anxiety, and panic attacks.

In contrast, healthy breathing is subtle, inaudible, and always through the nose. Inga explains the benefits of breathing into a bag during a panic attack rather than taking a deep breath in and sighing it out.

You will learn about the importance of healthy breathing and the negative effects of big breathing, and gain insight into how to breathe properly for optimal health.
